  • Patent number: 7036876
    Abstract: A roof lining extremity fixing structure for fixing an end portion of a roof lining 28 provided on a passenger compartment side of a sunroof unit 16 to an opening-side edge portion 25 of a stationary part 17 of the sunroof unit 16 via a fixing member 30, the roof lining extremity fixing structure being characterized in that an engagement portion 33 which is brought into resilient engagement with the opening-side edge portion 25 of the stationary part 17 and an extended portion 34 which is disposed at an interval on a side to which the engagement portion 33 resiliently deforms at the time of engagement are formed on the fixing member 30, so that an extremity portion 51 of a skin 47 of the roof lining 28 is fixedly held by the engagement portion 33 and the extended portion 34.

  • Patent number: 5604513
    Abstract: A serial sampling video signal driving apparatus receives a plurality of color video signals. A serial sampling video driver samples the color video signals one after the other in cyclic fashion, and provides the sampled values to drive a matrix-type color display. A delay circuit delays one or more of the color video signals at different phases before input to the serial sampling video driver, thereby compensating for differences in sampling times.
