Abstract: A print element substrate, comprising a plurality of functional elements, a plurality of driving elements configured to drive the plurality of functional elements based upon one of a plurality of drive signals, a shift register configured to store functional data indicating whether or not to drive the functional element, a data analyzing unit configured to analyze the functional data input into the shift register, and a drive signal selection unit configured to select one of the plurality of drive signals in response to an analysis result from the data analyzing unit.

Abstract: A webbing take-up device is provided that includes a spool configured to take up a webbing of a seatbelt device, a rotating member configured to rotate the spool in the take-up direction, a tube-shaped cylinder, a moving member provided inside the cylinder that, when moved by a pressurized fluid, causes the rotating member to rotate by engaging with a side of the rotating member. At the end of its movement through the cylinder, the moving member abuts and moves a stopper inside a recess, suppressing movement of the moving member without an engaging member jabbing or biting into the moving member.

Abstract: A semiconductor structure includes a field effect transistor located on a semiconductor substrate, a silicon oxide liner contacting at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate, a silicon nitride liner contacting a top surface and a sidewall of the silicon oxide liner and contacting a top surface of the semiconductor substrate in a seal region, a silicon nitride diffusion barrier layer including a planar bottom surface that contacts top surfaces of vertically extending portions of the silicon nitride liner, and a silicon oxide material portion overlying the silicon nitride diffusion barrier layer. A combination of the silicon nitride liner and the silicon nitride diffusion barrier layer constitutes a hydrogen diffusion barrier structure that continuously extends from the seal region and over the field effect transistor.

Abstract: Service can be offered free of charge and the cost of a skin condition measuring device can be reduced by effectively using data on the occasion of obtaining an analysis result by transmitting measurement data by the skin condition measuring device to a server of a company providing a service of analyzing the measurement data. When a request is made from a contractor client to acquire data registered in a measurement data database, authentication is executed based on a contractor ID input from the contractor client. Additionally, when the measurement data database is searched from a contractor database based on the contractor ID, a search level and an access level are obtained. The contractor client is permitted to search the measurement data database within a range of the search level and the access level.

Abstract: In a pretensioner mechanism of a webbing take-up device, a sealing member seals a communicating hole of a piston. When a force limiter mechanism is operated and rotating of a spool in a pull-out direction is allowed, the piston is moved to an upper side in a state in which the sealing member is pressed and contacted against a cylinder. As a result, the sealing member is turned and the sealing of the communicating hole by the sealing member is released. In consequence, a number of components may be reduced and assembly characteristics of the pretensioner mechanism may be improved.

Abstract: In a webbing take-up device, a cylinder includes a housing portion that houses a piston and a guide portion that extends from one end portion in length direction of the housing portion. A pinion is rotatably supported at the guide portion. The piston is guided by the guide portion. A member that houses the piston and a member that rotatably supports the pinion do not accordingly need to be separately provided. An increase in number of components can therefore be suppressed. Positioning of the piston and the pinion can be respectively determined by the cylinder due to the piston and the pinion being provided to the cylinder. Good positioning precision between the piston and the pinion is thereby enabled compared to a case where separate members are used to house the piston and to rotatably support the pinion.
