A warming-up system for vehicle includes: a heat storage device having a heat storage element; a first heat transfer medium circuit for causing a first heat transfer medium to circulate through the heat storage device; and a second heat transfer medium circuit for causing a second heat transfer medium to circulate through the heat storage device. The first and second heat transfer mediums flow into first and second warming-up targets, respectively. The heat storage device includes a first chamber in communication with the first heat transfer medium circuit, a second chamber in which the heat storage element is arranged, and a third chamber in communication with the second heat transfer medium circuit. Heat exchange can be carried out among the first heat transfer medium of the first chamber, the heat storage element of the second chamber and the second heat transfer medium of the third chamber.

Common practice in the aviation industry is to place a single Flight Data Recorder (FDR) in an aircraft for the purpose of aiding an investigation of an aircraft accident or incident. In contrast, a system employing ‘an example’ embodiment of the invention uses multiple flight data recorders by having a primary node or first FDR, and one or more secondary nodes or one or more additional FDRs configured to store flight data. Each FDR is placed in a different location so as to ensure backup of the recorded and stored data. In this way, the invention system provides redundancy of information for an aircraft accident or incident and more reliable data storage.

The liquid crystal lens of the invention has an optically transparent liquid crystal plate which includes a plurality of liquid crystal pixels divided two-dimensionally, and a liquid crystal drive section which selects only a part of the liquid crystal pixels simultaneously and controls voltage application to the selected liquid crystal pixels. The liquid crystal drive section performs voltage application control to the selected liquid crystal pixels so as to form, in the liquid crystal plate, a refractive index distribution of light which transmits the liquid crystal plate.

An arrangement in passenger vehicles, that diverts the impact energy in impacts away from the passengers to the remaining mass of the vehicle thereby protecting the passengers, and in the same arrangement provides utilitarian access to the vehicle, such utilitarian access making it possible to both install multi-element contoured surround seats for passengers and the driver, and also safety devices and arrangements for head-on collision protection that protect the passenger. An indo-skeletal structural arrangement proposed for the vehicle, provides further benefits by targeting the strength of the vehicle to protect passengers while minimizing other massive elements in the vehicle.

Provided is a tissue piece treating apparatus comprising an automatic controlling means for feeding back the temperature of the treatment liquid or molten paraffin in the bath inside detected by a temperature sensor to switch a heating mode and a cooling mode alternately to control the temperature; a heating means for turning OFF in an air-cooling fan of the ultrasonic vibrator and ON in a plane heater at the heating mode, thereby transferring the heat generated by the ultrasonic vibrator and the plane heater; and, a cooling means for turning ON in the air-cooling fan of the ultrasonic vibrator and OFF in the plane heater at the cooling mode, thereby blocking the heat transfer from the ultrasonic vibrator and the plane heater to the bath inside. These means can suppress the excessive heating of a tissue piece so that they can suppress the heating modification of the tissue piece.

There is provided a clip 30 for mounting an installation base member 22 of a weather strip 20 on a flange 100 provided along a body of an automobile, wherein said clip 30 is composed of a fixing piece 31 mounted on an exposed end portion of a resin insert 24 embedded in the installation base member 22 of said weather strip 20; and a pressuring piece 32 which is rotatably mounted to the fixing piece 31, approaches one side surface of said flange 100 by the rotation to make an elastic contact, and holds said flange 100 with an installation surface of said installation base member 22 mounted on the other side surface of said flange 100.

A power distribution for an array of active electronic circuits in an antenna of a mobile communications base-station is disclosed. The power distribution comprises a first conductor connectable to a first terminal of a power supply unit, and a second conductor connectable to a second terminal of the power supply unit. The first conductor and the second conductor are at least partly bare and rigid, and are routed to the antenna-embedded radios in a manner separate from each other.

An automobile toy, including, a front wheel chassis for supporting a front wheel axle, and a rear wheel chassis for supporting a rear wheel axle, the rear wheel chassis including, two arms extending forward, an end portion of each of the two arms being coupled to the front wheel chassis with the two arms separated from each other in a vehicle width direction of the automobile toy.

The disclosure provides a battery cell casing for holding a plurality of cell elements, each electrode structure in its own compartment. The disclosed casing eliminates the need for some individual cell walls and replaces them with shared wall partitions.

An arrangement in passenger vehicles, that diverts the impact energy in lateral or side impacts away from the passengers to the remaining mass of the vehicle thereby protecting the passengers, and in the same arrangement provides utilitarian access to the vehicle, such utilitarian access making it possible to both install multi-element contoured surround seats for passengers and the driver, and also a safety device for head-on collision protection that obviates the need for conventional seat belts and front impact airbags. An indo-skeletal structural arrangement proposed for the vehicle, provides further benefits by targeting the strength of the vehicle to protect passengers while minimizing other massive elements in the vehicle. Side impact protection for the head and neck are proposed with airbags and aircushions.

A charge-transporting varnish which contains a charge-transporting substance containing fluorine atoms, a charge-transporting substance containing no fluorine atoms, a dopant substance composed of a heteropolyacid, and an organic solvent. The charge-transporting substance containing fluorine atoms is a polymer which is obtained by condensing a triaryl amine compound, an arylaldehyde compound containing fluorine atoms, a fluorene derivative having a carbonyl group and a carbazole derivative having an alkyl group or an alkyl group containing an ether structure in the N-position, and which has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000-200,000. The charge-transporting substance containing no fluorine atoms is an oligoaniline compound. A thin film formed from this charge-transporting varnish is capable of providing an organic EL element having excellent luminance characteristics and durability even in cases where the thin film is used as a single layer between a positive electrode and a light emitting layer in such a manner that the thin film is in contact with the positive electrode and the light emitting layer.

A system of air cushions to protect during impact, an occupant in a vehicle seat comprising elements for protection of the head and neck.

A multilayered structural component includes a structural component-base arrangement with at least one fiber layer made from a fiber layer material having a fiber reinforcement structure bonded with a thermoplastic binder, as well as at least one barrier film layer made from a plastic-based barrier film material. The at least one fiber layer and the at least one barrier film layer are arranged in a stacking direction, one above the other. The barrier film layer material comprises combustibility-reducing means such that the structural component with the barrier film layer has combustibility not greater than the structural component without the barrier film layer.
