Patent EP-1975017-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HIRAMATSU KOJI
IPC: B60R22/46
Filed: 2008-03-11
Abstract: In order to further reduce variation in the maximum limited load by a seat belt load limiting mechanism composed of a torsion bar (13) and a shearing member (24), when a spool (9) rotates in the belt withdrawing direction (6) relative to a locking base (18), EA action only by shear deformation of the shearing member (24) is first conducted so that the entire EA load is only the EA load by the shearing member (24). After the EA load by the shearing member (24) becomes the maximum EA load (Fo), the seat belt (4) is withdrawn by a predetermined amount and the EA action by torsional deformation of the torsion bar (13) is conducted in addition to the EA action by the shearing member (24). Since the EA action only by the shearing member (24) is first conducted, it is possible to reduce variation in the maximum limited load during the shear deformation of the shearing member (24).

Abstract: A control method can stop motor operation reliably when a mirror rotator is mechanically locked at a driven end of the mirror rotator. The control method operates a motor 18 according to battery voltage. The motor 18 is operated with an operating time set and is stopped after a lapse of the set operating time, where the operating time is a time required for the motor 18 to drive the mirror rotator 14 from the retracted position or the working position to the working position or the retracted position at which the mirror rotator 14 is locked by a stopper. The control method detects the battery voltage, and decreases the set operating time of the motor 18 when the detected battery voltage is high or increases the set operating time of the motor 18 when the detected battery voltage is low.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of solar cells. In particular, the invention relates to devices and methods for improving the efficiency of solar cells, and a solar cell thereof. One aspect of the invention involves a solar cell with a semiconductor layer (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) with a natural band gap NB (NB2, NB3, NB4, NB5, NB6, NB7). This semiconductor layer also has at least one electrode (100, 101, 110, 111, 120, 121) designed to produce an ambient voltage V (Vl, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6, V7) into the layer. The incoming photons therefore experience a modified NB-V=B band gap (Bl, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7), referred here to as the apparent band gap. Photons with E>B1 will be absorbed into the band gap B, and the electron in the semiconductor valence band will get excited onto the conduction band thus resulting in photocurrent. In accordance with the invention, the ability to tune the apparent band gap B provides an enormous strength to optimise the incoming photon collection.
