Abstract: When a film is formed atomic layer by atomic layer with a use of a raw material gas and a reaction gas, a raw material gas is supplied into a film-forming space in which a substrate is placed to adsorb a component of the raw material gas onto the substrate. Then, a reaction gas is supplied into the film-forming space. Plasma is produced in the film-forming space using the reaction gas supplied so that part of a component of the raw material gas adsorbed on the substrate reacts with the reaction gas. At this moment, a duration of production of the plasma is set within a range of 0.5 millisecond to 100 milliseconds according to a degree of at least one property of a film to be formed, and a density of power input to the plasma source is in a range of 0.05 W/cm2 to 10 W/cm2.

Abstract: An airbag apparatus for a front passenger seat includes a fracture-opening section which is defined in an interior cover and is split into front and rear subsections upon inflation of an airbag, and front and rear reinforcement plate members fixedly attached to back surfaces of the front and rear subsections. Upper bent portions and lower bent portions are alternately formed at predetermined intervals at each of the mutually-opposed end portions of the front and rear reinforcement plate members such that a vertical step is formed between the upper bent portions and the lower bent portions. A projection tongue having an engagement hole is provided at the tip end of each upper bent portion. A projection engageable with the engagement hole is formed on the upper face of each lower bent portion. The mutually-opposed end portions of the front and rear reinforcement plate members are superposed and engaged with each other in such a manner that the projection tongues are located above the lower bent portions.

Abstract: A pyrimidine nucleus-containing compound represented by the formula (I): wherein ring A represents the ring of the formula (a): in which R1 is a nitro group, an amino group, a substituted amino group or a halogen atom, or the ring of the formula (b): in which R1′ is the group such as an alkyl group or an alkenyl group; R2 to R5 independently represent the group such as an alkyl group or an alkenyl group; with the proviso that at least one of R2 to R5 is an alkenyl group, or acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: An airbag system is provided which has an instrument panel cover provided with a favorable appearance and enables to protect a passenger sitting on the front passenger seat at an instance of collision. To have such favorable appearance, the cover is combined by mold forming with a lid plate located opposite to an opening of an airbag case as a single unit. The lid plate is arranged having its outer edge decreased in the physical strength. While a main body of a lid plate reinforcement made of a metallic material is joined by thermal bonding to the back side of a region inside the outer edge of the lid plate, a hinge extending outward from the main body is fixedly joined by a bracket to the airbag case so that the hinge, when the airbag element accommodated in the airbag case inflates, can be bent upward to lift or open up the lid plate. Accordingly, the cover when broken out is prevented from generating sharp edges or scattering broken pieces.
