Abstract: A base of synthetic resins or other materials is partially plated. The base includes not only a single base but an assembly with a number of chip bases for producing electronic and electric parts such as printed circuit board, lead frame insert molded circuit parts, etc. A method for partially plating a base by the use of a plating catalyst includes a coating process to coat a surface to be plated or not to be plated by means of a coating material selected from a water soluble polymer or hydrolyzable polymer either before or after a catalyst applying process to soak a container containing the base in a plating catalyst bath.

Abstract: A pulse signal generator comprising a magnetic element able (1) to cause a large Barkhausen jump; a detection member (2) for detecting a magnetic change in the magnetic element to generate a pulse signal; and a pair of magnetic field sources (3, 4, 6, and 7) provided in parallel to each other on both sides of the magnetic element such that their poles (3A, 4A) are opposed to each other so that when an object (5A) advances from one of opposite poles to the other of the magnetic field sources, a magnetic field applied to the magnetic element changes, causing a large Barkhausen jump in the magnetic element, thus causing the detection member to generate a pulse signal.

Abstract: Time-divisionally-multiplexed light receiving signals are sampled at a predetermined time interval as they are, and then converted into digital data. Then, address is determined based on an index signal as a standard of the time-divisional multiplexing, and the data are sequentially stored in a data memory. When the data are sequentially read out, change of quantity of the data is obtained to determine a period having the smallest change in quantity as an effective period. Then, the data included in the effective period are selected and separated to a sample side beam, reference side beam and cutoff period. Thus, the multiplexed light receiving signals are accurately separated by the digital data.

Abstract: A seat-belt guide anchor for guiding a seat belt in a vehicle includes an elongated guide hole through which the seat belt slides and a sliding portion disposed adjacent to the guide hole contacting the seat belt. The seat belt extends with an angle relative to a direction perpendicular to a long axis of the guide hole. The sliding portion has a projection or a recess. An end portion of the projection or recess extends and is inclined with an angle larger than the seat belt extension angle.

Abstract: An adapter or connection comprises a plurality of adapter or connector sections (14) having plugging cavities (18) to which optical cable plugs (25) are detachably plugged.

Abstract: This application discloses a multi-layer film deposition apparatus comprising; plural cathodes comprising targets respectively, a main rotation mechanism for rotating each cathode together, and a substrate holder to hold a substrate onto which a multi-layer film is deposited by sputtering. The targets are arranged at positions where their center axes are on a circumference. The main rotation mechanism rotates the cathodes around the axis in common to the circumference. The substrate is located at a position within an area in view to the direction of the axis. The area is formed of two loci of points on the rotated targets. One of the locus is drawn by the point nearest to the axis, and the other locus is drawn by the point furthest from the axis.

Abstract: A motor retractor system includes a first winding device having a motor for driving a shoulder belt in a winding direction, and a second winding device having a tension-applying device for always applying a tension in a winding direction to a lap belt extending from the shoulder belt through a through-tongue. A control unit controls the motor to drive when the through-tongue coupled to the buckle is released from the buckle. Therefore, the shoulder belt can be smoothly pulled out. When the through-tongue is buckled up, an occupant can be restrained by the seat belt with a comfortable force and no slack. When the through-tongue is released from the buckle, the seat belt can be promptly withdrawn to the first winding device.
