  • Airbag and method of production of airbag
    Patent number: 10696264
    Abstract: Provided is an airbag which can be easily manufactured though it is provided with a tether inside, and has a reduced fear of gas leakage from a joint region. The airbag includes a joint region of outer circumferential edges of a pair of walls. The joint region includes, between the outer circumferential edges of the pair of walls, a sealing member which has elasticity, and has adhesiveness in an unsolidified state. The joint region is formed by such a sewing that runs a sewing thread through an application area of the sealing member. A tether connects the pair of walls. The joint region includes a region in which the sealing member has a solidified, thus non-adhesive surface, and is pressed against at least one of the walls by the non-adhesive surface, and penetrated by the sewing thread in that state.

  • Radio-wave transmitting cover and method for setting thickness of radio-wave transmitting cover
    Patent number: 10693224
    Abstract: A radio-wave transmitting cover is configured to be arranged in the path of the radio wave of a radio-wave radar device. The thickness of the cover is set to a reference thickness at a reference position where the incident angle of the radio wave from the radio-wave radar device is 0°. The reference thickness is set to a value obtained by multiplying half of the wavelength of the radio wave by an integer. In the area around the reference position, the thickness of the cover is gradually changed such that the greater the distance from the reference position, the greater becomes the difference by which the thickness of the cover is larger than the reference thickness.

  • Method for producing Group III nitride semiconductor, seed substrate and Group III nitride semiconductor crystal
    Patent number: 10693032
    Abstract: The seed substrate comprises a base substrate and a base layer comprising a Group III nitride semiconductor formed on the base substrate, which has a high dislocation density region and a low dislocation density region. The planar pattern of the high dislocation density region is a honeycomb pattern. A hollow exists between the base substrate and the low dislocation density region. The object layer is grown through a flux method using the seed substrate. The high dislocation density region is melted back at an initial stage of crystal growth, and thereafter, the object layer is grown on the top surface of the low dislocation density region. A cavity remains between the high dislocation density region and the object layer. The presence of the cavity and the hollow makes easy to peel the object layer from the seed substrate.
