Abstract: A tubular body includes: a substrate including concave portions on a surface thereof; a surface layer formed on the surface of the concave portion-including side of the substrate; and a particle positioned at an interface between the substrate and the surface layer in each of the concave portions.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a display and a method for repairing defects of the same in which defects such as inter-layer short-circuits and short-circuits in a single that have occurred at steps for manufacturing the display can be easily repaired to provide a good product with a probability higher than that in the related art. Laser irradiation is carried out as a first cycle of laser irradiation by forming a slit S1 in a region where a drain bus line 220 completely covers a gate bus line 218 to form a cut portion longer than the width of the gate bus line 218 adjacent to an inter-layer short-circuit 290 such that it splits an intersecting portion of the drain bus line 220 into two parts as shown in FIG. 5b. Next, as shown in FIG. 5c, slits S2 and S3 are respectively used for second and third cycles of laser irradiation to cut the drain bus line 220 at both ends of the cut portion (indicated by S1), thereby isolating the inter-layer short-circuit 290 of the drain bus line 220.

Abstract: A sliding plate of a supporting apparatus normally clamps a supporting bracket for supporting a steering column and allows the supporting bracket to be detached from the sliding plate in case of a secondary collision of a vehicle. The sliding plate of the supporting apparatus has a center portion formed with a fastener hole for receiving a fastener to fasten the sliding plate to a vehicle body, a first lateral portion having a pressing bulge for resiliently abutting on the steering column supporting bracket, a first slit separating the center portion from the pressing bulge of the first lateral portion, and first and second through openings formed between the center portion and the first lateral portion. The first slit extends from the first through opening to the second through opening.

Abstract: A seat belt retractor is of a type having an emergency locking mode and an auto-locking mode. The retractor comprises a take-up shaft on which a webbing is wound. A ratchet wheel is connected to the take-up shaft to rotate therewith, and an annular cam member is connected to the take-up shaft through a speed reduction mechanism. The cam member has a first group of projections formed thereon. A switching arm is pivotally arranged in such a manner that a second group of projections formed thereon are engageable with the first group of projections. A toggle spring is used for biasing the switching arm in a given direction. A pivotal tooth member is actuated by the switching arm and engageable with the ratchet wheel. The pivotal tooth member is biased by a spring in a direction away from the ratchet wheel.
