Abstract:
A load on the shins when a knee airbag is deployed by inflating in a state in which the knees of an occupant are proximate to an airbag door or suchlike is moderated. Inside a knee airbag, an upper tether and a lower tether are disposed to sandwich an inflator from above and below. First opening portions and second opening portions for letting gas flow through up and down are alternatingly formed in the upper tether and the lower tether. The second opening portions are formed as circular holes with smaller diameters than the first opening portions. The second opening portions are disposed at positions opposing the knees of a small occupant in a sitting state.
Abstract:
An air bag door is developed quickly even if the clearance between the grab door outer and the knee of a crew or passenger is narrow when a tier type air bag door is employed in a knee air bag device for vehicle. A fracture portion (50) consisting of a lateral fracture portion (50A) and longitudinal fracture portions (50B, 50C) is formed in the grab door outer general portion (24A). Thus, an air bag door (52) consisting of total six doors, i.e. an upper central air bag door (52A), an upper left side air bag door (52B), an upper right side air bag door (52C), a lower central air bag door (52D), a lower left side air bag door (52E), and a lower right side air bag door (52F), is formed. Even if both knees of the crewman or passenger of a small-sized build are arranged in proximity to or in contact with the lower left side air bag door (52E) and the lower right side air bag door (52F), the lower central air bag door (52D) opens smoothly between both the knees in addition to the upper side air bag doors in the initial stage of development of the air bag door (52).
Abstract:
In a knee airbag device for a vehicle, which has upper and lower tethers that extend in a vehicle width direction and regulate a bag thickness of an airbag, and in which gas from an inflator is supplied between the upper and lower tethers, it is aimed to make a flow of the gas toward an upper portion and a lower portion from between the upper and lower tethers at the inside of the knee airbag smoother, and to improve deployability of the knee airbag in a vehicle vertical direction.Upper and lower tethers 16 and 18 are arranged to be separated from each other in the vehicle vertical direction and are formed so that a vertical clearance therebetween increases approaching both vehicle width direction end portions 16A and 18A thereof. When the gas is supplied between the upper and lower tethers 16 and 18, the gas spreads to both vehicle width direction sides along the tethers 16 and 18 and smoothly moves around into an upper portion 14A and a lower portion 14B of a knee airbag 14 from both of the end portions 16A and 18A of the tethers 16 and 18.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus, such as a blade server or the like, has a cooling system for efficiently cooling a plurality of heat generating semiconductor devices, such as a CPU, mounted on blades which is freely put on and taken off. The cooling system includes a thermosiphon which transfers heat from devices having relatively high heat generation, such as CPU or the like, to the outside of the apparatus, heat pipes which transfer heat of devices having relatively low heat generation to the thermosiphon, a thermal highway which is thermally coupled to the thermosiphon by the mounting of blades into a housing and collects and transfers the heat from the thermosiphon and the heat pipes, and a condenser which transfers the heat collected and transferred by the thermal highway outside a housing.
Abstract:
A knee airbag is provided to the lower part of a glove box door, and an airbag door provided to the glove box door opens in both upward and downward directions when the knee airbag expands. As the knee airbag expands, the rigidity of the lower part of the glove box door decreases, and this causes a relatively small reaction force, which corresponds to a relatively small load generated when the knees of an occupant having a relatively small body build make contact with the lower part, to be generated on the lower part of the glove box door. On the other hand, because the knee airbag is not provided to the upper part of the glove box door, the upper part can generate a relatively large reaction force which corresponds to a relatively large load generated when the knees of an occupant having a relatively large body build make contact with the upper part via the knee airbag.

Provided is a disk array device or an electronic device having an enhanced cooling performance with lower noises. The disk array device has doors in the front side and in the rear side of the device, each of the doors is formed with outside openings which are louver-like or bend-like, the louver- or bend-like openings in the doors being directed in directions which are opposite to each other between the door on the suction side and the door on the exhaust side.

Abstract:
A personal computer comprises a heat dissipation plate installed on a floor of its case, a motherboard disposed apart from the heat dissipation plate by a predetermined distance, and a daughter board disposed in such a manner that the motherboard is positioned between the heat dissipation plate and the daughter board. The daughter board is mounted with a central processing unit which generates heat. The motherboard is provided with a hole. A heat dissipation block extends from the heat dissipation plate through the hole in the motherboard, and is connected to the central processing unit through a heat conductive coupler. This forms a heat dissipation path which passes through the central processing unit, the heat dissipation block, the heat dissipation plate, and the case. In addition, another heat dissipation block is interposed between a keyboard and the daughter board so that another heat dissipation path can be formed through the central processing unit, another heat dissipation block, another heat dissipation plate, and the keyboard. A heat pipe may be connected to a heat dissipation plate.
