Title: Leg protection device for vehicle occupants
Inventor: ABE KAZUHIRO
IPC: B60R21/20
Filed: 2002-04-25
Abstract: The object is to provide a leg protection device for vehicle
occupants which has an airbag of which thickness when
inflated is small so that the airbag can be rapidly inflated
even with a gas generator having small generating capacity
and which can sufficiently receive and stop occupant's legs.
As a vehicle equipped with a leg protection device (1) comes
into a frontal collision, a gas generator (5) is actuated to
spout out gas through gas ports (5b) so as to initiate the
inflation of an airbag (4). Gas from the gas generator (5)
first flows into a first chamber (21) so that the first chamber
(21) starts to inflate. Subsequently, the gas in the first
chamber 21 flows through the inlets (22a) to inflate the second
chambers (22). According to the initiation of inflation of
the airbag (4), an interior panel (2) is pressed by the airbag
(4) so as to be torn along tear lines (6), forming flaps (25).
The airbag (4) is deployed into a vehicle cabin to extend along
the front surface of the interior panel (2).

Abstract: The drive assembly has a locking device that has a locking ratchet held in inactive position. The locking ratchet can be displaced manually or by an actuating device out of the inactive position into contact with the holding face of a ratchet gear (20) for stopping the rotational movement of the ratchet gear. A projection (8) protrudes radially from the seat face (7) of a coupling hub (3) included in a shear pin coupling (1) with reference to the longitudinal axis (2) of the shear pin coupling and first attaching mechanism. The seat face of the coupling hub is axially arranged between the projection (8) and bearing seat of the coupling hub. A coupling sleeve (12) is supported on the bearing seat of the coupling hub to rotate relative to the coupling hub. Another projection (17) is extended radially relative to the longitudinal axis. A second attaching mechanism includes the ratchet gear formed with a bearing bore and supported on the seat face of the coupling hub. The ratchet gear rotates relative to the coupling hub. A shear pin (26) is received in the bores of the projections and ratchet gear, such that the receiving bores are aligned with one another and arranged radially offset relative to the longitudinal axis. The shear pin firmly connects the projections in the rotation direction around the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: In a discharge lamp device, the electric power supplied to a
discharge lamp is controlled in order of first to fourth control
regions from the start of lighting of the discharge lamp. In the first
control region, the lamp current is held constant until the lamp
voltage reaches a first voltage value. In the second control region,
the lamp current is reduced so as to have a correlation with a first
time constant curve for a constant time after the lamp voltage
reaches the first voltage value. In the third control region, the lamp
current is reduced so as to have a correlation with a second time
constant curve after a lapse of the constant time. The second time
constant curve differs from the first time constant curve. In the
fourth control region, a control value of the electric power supplied
to the discharge lamp is free of a function of a lapse of time from the
start of lighting of the discharge lamp, but is a function of at least
the lamp voltage and the lamp current, and the electric power
supplied to the discharge lamp is controlled by that control value.
Through such a control, luminous flux is built up in a short time
from the start of the lighting and an occurrence of overshoot or
undershoot is minimized to a possible extent.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to prevent elements in a triple-well
MOS transistor from being destroyed due to an increase in current
consumption or a thermal runaway of a parasitic bipolar transistor. 
     In a triple-well NMOS transistor 311 comprising a P well area 22
formed within an N well area 28 and a MOSFET formed in the P well area 22,
an impurity-diffused area 29 having a lower impurity concentration than an N + 
drain area 25 is formed close to the N +  drain area 25, thereby restraining
substrate current. The impurity concentration of the P well area 22 is
increased to reduce the current gain of a parasitic bipolar transistor. To
further reduce the current gain, a punch-through stopper area may be
formed. The impurity concentration of the impurity-diffused area 29 is set to
equal that of an N- LDD area 31 of a fine CMOS device integrated on the
same substrate 1. These areas are formed during a single ion injection step.

Abstract: A wavelength converting method and apparatus which converts wavelength division
multiplexed (WDM) signal light, having a plurality of channels, by four-wave mixing (FWM) the
WDM signal light with at least one pump lightwave. Wavelength conversion of the WDM

lightwave (330), wherein the pump lightwave frequency is separated from the WDM signal by an
interval equal to or greater than the bandwidth of the WDM signal. Two pump lightwaves
can be used instead of one, wherein one of the pump lightwaves has a frequency on one side of the
bandwidth of the WDM signal, and the average frequency of the two pump lightwaves is on
the other side of the WDM signal bandwidth.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un immunocomplexe comprenant des molécules de MHC ou des fragments fonctionnels de MHC, modifiés de façon à empêcher la fixation sur des co-récepteurs, tels que CD8 ou CD4. Selon la présente invention, l'incapacité du complexe MCH à se fixer sur le co-récepteur conduit à la mort des lymphocytes T sans apport d'un signal d'activation/prolifération. En associant l'immunocomplexe avec un antigène peptidique spécifique, il est possible de supprimer le système immunitaire d'un hôte, c'est-à-dire d'éviter le rejet d'un tissu ou de traiter des maladies auto-immunes. Pour obtenir un suppression plus universelle du système immunitaire, il est possible d'administer le complexe de MHC modifié ou un fragment/composé de ce dernier en l'absence de l'antigène peptidique. Par exemple, un complexe de βM modifié peut être administré.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising a non-volatile memory with memory cells (Mij) including a select transistor (T1) with a select gate (1) and including a memory transistor (T2) with a floating gate (2) and a control gate (3). In a semiconductor body (10), active semiconductor regions are formed which are mutually insulated by field oxide regions (12). Next, the surface (11) is provided with a gate oxide layer (14) and a first layer of a conductive material wherein the select gate (1) is etched. Subsequently, the walls of the select gate extending perpendicularly to the surface are provided with an isolating material (17). The gate oxide next to the select gate is replaced by a layer of tunnel oxide (18). Next, a second layer of a conductive material (21), an interlayer dielectric (25) and a third layer of a conductive material (26) are deposited. The control gate (3) extending above and next to the select gate is formed in the third layer. Using the control gate as a mask, the floating gate (2) is subsequently etched in the second layer of conductive material. In this method, the second layer is deposited in a larger thickness than the select gate, after which this layer is planarized prior to the deposition of the interlayer dielectric and the third layer of conductive material. In this manner, a compact memory cell can be manufactured.
