Abstract: In a seatbelt retractor attachment structure, a seatbelt retractor is fixed to a vehicle body via a retractor bracket. The retractor bracket includes a fixing portion, fastening portion, and a curved portion. The fixing portion is fixed to a retractor frame of the seatbelt retractor. The fastening portion is fastened and fixed to the vehicle body. The curved portion connects the fixing portion and the fastening portion. The curved portion includes a part bent from the fixing portion in a direction surrounding the seatbelt retractor and a part folded back toward the fastening portion. The curved portion has a substantially U shape. The fastening portion includes at least one of a pair of bent flange portions on both sides in a width direction of the fastening portion and a bead portion protruding along a longitudinal direction of the fastening portion.

Abstract: Embodiments include a communication device, having a wireless communication processor. The communication device includes an antenna connected to a feeding point of the wireless communication processor. The communication device also includes a metal component disposed proximal the antenna and a circuit board including a ground plane. The communication device further includes a first conductive line and a second conductive line which connect the ground plane to two locations on the antenna, on one end and the other end of a location proximal the metal component.

Abstract: To produce a thin strip having a high cast strip toughness from a thin cast strip of a Cr-stainless steel containing Nb, Ti, and Al in an amount of 0.05% or more, a process includes the steps of: casting a thin cast strip of a Cr-stainless steel having a thickness of 10 mm or less, the steel containing 13-25 wt % of Cr, 0.05-1 wt % of one or more of Nb, Ti, Al and V in terms of a total amount, 0.03 wt % or less of C, 0.03 wt % or less of N, and 0.3-3.0 wt % of Mo in accordance with need, and having a .gamma.p value of 0% or less; hot-rolling the thin cast strip in a temperature range of from 1150.degree. to 950.degree. C. at a reduction in thickness of 5 to 50% to form a thin strip; either slowly cooling the thin strip at a rate of 20.degree. C./sec or less or holding the thin strip for 5 sec or more, in a temperature range of from 1150.degree. to 950.degree. C.; and then coiling the thin strip at a temperature lower than 700.degree. C..gamma.p(%)=420C+470N+23Ni+9Cu+7Mn-11.5Cr-11.

Abstract: A non-magnetic cold-deformed stainless steel usable for electronic equipment parts has a Vickers hardness number after cold forming of not less than 400 and a magnetic permeability of not more than 1.01. The steel has excellent hot workability and is mainly used for components such as shafts and pins of VTRs and VTR cassette tapes.
