  • Patent number: 9670054
    Abstract: This stuffed article (1) of the present invention is made of ticking (2a, 2b) filled with a stuffing. The stuffing is a long-fiber wad (8) formed by integrating an effect yarn with a core yarn. The effect yarn is opened to form loop-like fibers. A plurality of strings of the long-fiber wad (8) are arranged in parallel in at least one direction, and sewn to the ticking so as to be integrated with the ticking. The long-fiber wad in the stuffed article is fixed to the ticking, and the effect yarn is integrated with the core yarn. Therefore, the present invention can provide a stuffed article where the displacement of the long-fiber wad is limited even after repeated washing, the wad is less concentrated, and the bulkiness is high.

  • Publication number: 20080101468
    Abstract: The digital video data test system includes a semiconductor device to be tested and a digital video data test device. In the semiconductor device, a clock frequency division section divides the frequency of a digital video clock to generate a frequency-divided clock. A timing signal generation section generates a timing signal synchronizing with the frequency-divided clock using a sync signal in digital video data. A code holding section outputs a generated code generated by a code generation section to the digital video data test device in synchronization with the timing signal and the frequency-divided clock.
