Abstract: A grommet 1 includes a corniced part 2 in a shape of a bellows, and two engaging parts 3, 4 integrally formed on opposite ends of the corniced part and adapted to be engaged with respective bodies to be fitted such as a chassis panel 5 and a door panel 6. The grommet 1 is formed in a hollow tubular shape in such a manner that the corniced part 2 is smaller in diameter than the engaging parts 3, 4. The grommet 1 can be obtained by molding thermoplastic elastomer by injection molding so that the diameter of the engaging parts is less than five times as large as the diameter of the corniced part, opening molds 17, 18 for forming an outer face thereof, and thereafter, enlarging the corniced part thereby removing the grommet from a core 19 for forming an inner face thereof.

Abstract: An optical disc includes a data area for recording a plurality of video segments and an index area for recording original type chain information and user-defined type chain information. The original type chain information defines an original type chain including first ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the first video segments. The user-defined type chain information defines a user-defined type chain including second ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the second video segments. The first video segments are positioned in the data area in the reproduction order of the first video segments whereas the second video segments are positioned in the data area independently of the reproduction order of the second video segments.

Abstract: An individual information manager manages individual information of respective disks housed in a disk housing. The individual information includes residual area information indicative of the size of a residual area on which data is recordable. A disk selection controller selects a target disk from the disks housed in the housing by reference to the individual information of the respective disks that is managed by the individual information manager. In this configuration, a target disk can be appropriately selected in view of residual capacities of respective disks used during recording data, even if the user does not specify any disk.

Abstract: First, a stationary electrode layer is formed over a semiconductor substrate and an integrated network is composed in a circuit element area around the stationary electrode layer by electrode wiring forming each circuit element. A spacer is arranged on a passivation film in plural places. A dummy island is formed in an area between the circuit element area and the stationary electrode layer area. Supply potential Vcc is applied to the dummy island and ground potential GND is applied to a P+-type separated area.

Abstract: An optical disc including: a data area storing one or more video objects; and a time map area storing time map information. Each video object includes a plurality of video object units. The time map information includes a pair of a first time table and a second time table for each video object. Each first time table includes: addresses of video object units in a corresponding video object; and indicators. The addresses are arranged in order and indicate storage positions of the video object units that correspond to reproduction points that differ by a predetermined time unit. The predetermined time unit is longer than a maximum reproduction period of a video object unit. The indicators specify the video object units which respectively correspond to the addresses. Each second time table includes an entry for each video object unit in the corresponding video object. The entries are arranged in order. Each second time table includes a reproduction period and a data size of each video object unit.

Abstract: A holding recess (14) for holding the self-supporting-type cable (1) is formed between elastic holding portions (12, 13). Retaining projections (12a, 13a) are formed respectively on those side surfaces of the elastic holding portions (12, 13), exposed to the holding recess (14), in stepped relation to each other. Even when the self-supporting-type cable (1) is held in any posture, with its cable body portion (2) or its wire support portion (3) first introduced into the holding recess (14), the cable body portion (2) is engaged with the two retaining projections (12a, 13a) in a press-contacted manner to be prevented from withdrawal, or the cable body portion is engaged with the retaining projection (13a) and the bottom of the holding recess (14) in a press-contacted manner, and therefore is held in a stable manner.
