Abstract: A tubular body (1) made of a fiber-reinforced plastic and used as a structural material of a vehicle includes corners (4) extending along an axis of the tubular body (1) on an outer circumferential surface thereof. The tubular body (1) is a tubular laminate that is formed by laminating a fabric layer (12) formed by laminating fabric materials and unidirectional material layers (11, 13). Each fabric material includes a fabric in which reinforcing fibers are woven and a plastic with which the fabric is impregnated. Each unidirectional material layer (11, 13) includes reinforcing fibers oriented in one direction and a plastic with which the reinforcing fibers are impregnated. The reinforcing fibers of each unidirectional material layer (11, 13) are oriented along the axis of the tubular laminate.

Abstract: A waiting time until editing starts is shortened. Metadata that are a part of metadata are transferred from an optical disc set in a disc unit to an HDD in an editing device. The metadata are text data including a clip ID and continuing time information of material data, and they are small in information quantity. Thus, a waiting time for waiting for the completion of metadata transfer does not take place, and immediately after the optical disc is set editing processing can start. An editor selects a clip in accordance with a clip ID included in the metadata. Further, the editor selects a used portion of the clip in accordance with the continuing time information included in the metadata. Editing data are generated on the basis of these selected results.

Abstract: A moving image editing method uses a recorder apparatus and an editor apparatus. The recorder apparatus records into a recording unit by use of a file format in which index data, which includes the reproduction information of the data of the frames of moving image data, is written after that data of the frames of the moving image data. According to the moving image editing method, while the data of the frames of the moving image data being recorded into the recording unit, the index data related to the data of frames already written in the editor apparatus is transferred from the recorder apparatus to the editor apparatus. The editor apparatus reads, based on the index data, the data of the frames of the writing file so as to perform a real time edition of the moving image data.
