A side sill beam having a shape of an arch concave outwards in a vehicle-width direction is placed in a side sill, and includes first and second ends welded to joining areas with front and rear floor cross members, respectively. A first impact detection element that detects an impact from the outside in the vehicle-width direction is disposed near the joining areas of the side sill and the front or rear floor cross member, and a second impact detection element that detects an impact from the outside in the vehicle-width direction is disposed offset from the first impact detection element in a vehicle front-rear direction as viewed in the vehicle-width direction.

The present invention relates to a sealing structure for a convertible, by which water used for washing, etc. is prevented from invading inside the compartment. In a sealing structure for a convertible, the roof of which is openable at a foldable hood portion,, the attaching base,of weather strip,is fitted to a retainer,fixed at a link,, the end portions,of elevating and lowering side glass,are resiliently engaged in the hollow sealing portion,of the weather strip,when the hood portion,is closed, and the hood sealing portion,is resiliently engaged in the hood portion,from inside the compartment; another hood sealing portion,corresponding to the folding portions X, Y and Z of the hood portion,is die-molded at the end portion of the hood sealing portion

An ultrasonic image processing for accurately detecting the annulus portion from the ultrasonic image of the long axis view of a heart. A heart wall contour is extracted from the ultrasonic image, and a center of gravity of the heart wall contour is determined. Then, for an image imaged from an apex portion side, the annulus portion is detected from points on the heart wall contour located at positions deeper than the center of gravity, whereas for an image imaged by a transesophageal echocardlography, the annulus portion is detected from points on the heart wall contour located at positions shallower than the center of gravity. An ultrasonic image can be obtained in high precision by correcting the sensitivity in a direction perpendicular to the ultrasonic beam, either by adjusting a reception gain or correcting an image intensity at specific positions within a scanning space, according to an angle formed by an ultrasonic beam vector passing through each specific position and a prescribed vector defined at each specific position.
