Abstract: In a vehicle seat, a central support member typically consisting of wire
mesh or grid and supports most of the load of the vehicle occupant via spring members,
and undergoes a relatively large displacement when the occupant is seated in the seat.
Thus, by detecting the displacements of various parts of the central support member,
preferably peripheral parts thereof, the magnitude of the total load and distribution of
the load can be evaluated both reliably and accurately. Additionally, displacement
sensors for measuring such large displacements are relatively inexpensive and
easy to handle. Also, such sensors would not interfere with the existing seat designs,
and would not be adversely affected by the equipment of the seat such as seat heaters.

Abstract: There are provided a plasma arc torch and associated methods for selectively switching between a working mode and a standby mode. An electric arc is established between an electrode and a workpiece, and the torch is operated selectively in the working and standby modes. In the working mode, the arc extends between the electrode and the workpiece, the arc has a working arc current, and a plasma gas flows through a nozzle at a working flow rate. In the subsequent standby mode, the arc extends between the electrode and the nozzle and has a current less than the working arc current. The gas flow rate in the standby mode can be reduced to less than the working flow rate, and the plasma gas can be switched from an oxidizing gas to a non-oxidizing gas.

Abstract: A method for alarming decrease in tire air-pressure in which
decrease in tire air-pressure is determined on the basis of rotational
velocity information of a wheel of a vehicle. Respective thresholds for
determining whether judgment of decrease in tire air-pressure is to be
made or not are changed depending on magnitude of driving torque of
the vehicle when the vehicle is performing turning movements. It is
possible to improve the detection accuracy without issuing an erroneous
alarm even in the case where a large driving force is applied when the
vehicle is, for instance, running on a climbing road or when it performs
trailer towing.

Abstract: Since the magnitude of a nonlinear effect
depends on the nonlinearity coefficient of the
microstructured fiber and the intensity of pump
light, either the nonlinearity coefficient or the
intensity of pump light are adjusted. The
nonlinearity coefficient is modified by introducing
a nonlinear refractive index profile (n'2(r)) that
has the inverse characteristic of the intensity
distribution of either the pump or the signal light.
The intensity of the pump light is adjusted by an
optical amplifier, an optical attenuator, or a pre-emphasizing
filter under the control of a control
unit. The control unit controls the intensity of the
pump light based on a look-up table which is
prepared in advance by experiment or calculation, or
based on a function of the pump and signal
wavelength.
