Abstract

This passenger compartment soundproof structure comprises: a partitioning member 12 that partitions a passenger compartment; a sound absorption layer 14 having a large number of voids therein; a non-breathable layer 30 made of a non-breathable material; and a compressed fiber layer 32A formed mainly of a compressed fiber assembly. The bonding strength between the compressed fiber layer 32A and the non-breathable layer 30 is lower than the bonding strength between the non-breathable layer 30 and the sound absorption layer 14. Due to this configuration, antiresonance occurs (see 10A) between the resonance due to a resonance transmission phenomenon and the resonance due to the expansion and contraction of the sound absorption layer 14, thereby minimizing the insertion loss in the middle-frequency band and improving soundproofing performance against sound in the middle-frequency band.

Abstract

This sleep control apparatus is for controlling sleep of a subject (12), and comprises a sleep onset control unit (S107) and a sleep maintenance control unit (S108). The sleep onset control unit sends the subject into sleep and causes the sleep depth of the subject to transition to stage 1 or stage 2, by applying prescribed stimuli capable of inducing the subject to sleep by a stimulation device (31). The sleep maintenance control unit enables the subject to maintain sleep while keeping the subject's sleep depth within a range between stage 1 and stage 2, by applying prescribed stimuli for allowing the subject to maintain sleep through the stimulation device after the subject has been brought into sleep by the sleep onset control unit. In addition, while the subject is asleep, the sleep maintenance control unit causes the stage-2 sleep depth to emerge in such a manner as to make a first cumulative time, which is calculated by summing up the durations in which the sleep depth of the subject was maintained in stage 1, longer than a second cumulative time, which is calculated by summing up the durations in which the sleep depth of the subject was maintained in stage 2.

Abstract

An overlaid composite interior component such that a number of regular triangles (36) configuring an arrangement pattern (34) are spaced from one another with the proximate sides of the adjacent regular triangles (36) being parallel with each other, wherein micro-protrusions (20) provided on the proximate sides are disposed in a posture such that flexing directions (directions of outline arrows) of the micro-protrusions are parallel with each other, whereby a large height size can be ensured while avoiding mutual interference between the protrusions. Namely, because an appropriate interval is maintained for the arrangement of the micro-protrusions (20), even when side lengths (a, b) are set such that small regular triangles (36) are provided at high density, a large height size can be ensured while avoiding mutual interference of the protrusions provided on the proximate sides, whereby the pressing stroke for causing flexing deformation of the micro-protrusions (20) can be increased, thereby offering an increased softness.
