Abstract: In a conventional active headrest device, in order to protect a head etc. at the time of collision, a headrest ascends, and an ascent stroke is secured. However, it was proven that this construction is a little unsatisfactory in terms of ascent speed or distance in following the movement of a head, etc. at the time of the collision. Further, it is considered that this ascent speed or distance incurs a risk of a second accident and causes a new problem. 
     In light of the above circumstance, the active headrest of the invention includes individual means provided in a seat back. The individual means includes a lower unit which operates by an impact given to a frame, a wire which elevates/lowers inside the seat back linked to the lower unit, a solenoid to which the wire is locked and/or an upper unit having the solenoid, and a headrest device linked to a lifter or a connecting portion of the upper unit. At the time of collision, the wire is tensioned downward, the lifter or connecting portion of the upper unit ascends or tilt forward, and the ascent and forward tilting of the headrest are performed instantaneously. As a result, this headrest can secure the ascent stroke and forward tilting which can follow the movement of a head, etc. at the time of collision, and can protect a head, etc.

Abstract: High-pressure air is discharged in the form of jets moving at a high velocity from nozzles mounted on a ring around the interior of the flare stack, placed at a predetermined distance from the flare tip and the portion of the surrounding stack wall downstream of the jets is perforated with air passages to admit atmospheric air. The high-velocity air movement induces a larger volume of air from the atmosphere to enter the stack where it rises to the flame zone, thereby lifting the flame and enhancing turbulent mixing of air and gas in the flame zone. Adequate stoichiometric amounts of oxygen to assure complete combustion are determined by measuring any variations of the mass flow rate of the fuel gas and/or undesired chemical and effecting a corresponding adjustment of an air flow control valve to admit a predetermined amount of pressurized air and/or atmospheric air to the flaring tip. A Coanda-effect body is positioned proximate the open end of the flare stack to improve the mixing of the air feedstream with atmospheric air and combustible components and to elevate the heat of the flame above the metal structural elements that control air flow at the top of the flare stack.
