And, at least either one of the outer-peripheral spline and the inner-peripheral spline includes a substrate whose surface is formed to a predetermined surface roughness, and an amorphous carbon-system hard thin film, which coats and forms the surface of substrate. | 05-27-2010 |

20110309180 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - When attempt is made to insert a fitting-shaft section into a fitting-hole section in a state where phases of the fitting-shaft section of a spring-screw and the fitting-hole section of an adapter about a central-axis line of a spool-body are not matched, shaft-section-side inclined-surfaces formed at shaft-section-side protrusions abut to hole-section-side inclined-surfaces formed at hole-section-side protrusions, so the shaft-section-side inclined-surfaces press the hole-section-side inclined-surfaces in such a direction inclined in a pull-out direction to a projecting-direction of a shaft-section body from a flange section. The adapter having received a pressing force generated by this pressing at the hole-section-side inclined-surfaces has rotated in the pull-out direction, and then the phases of the fitting-hole section and the fitting-shaft section have aligned about the central-axis line of the spool-body, each shaft-section-side protrusion intrudes into a gap between the hole-section-side protrusions adjacent to each other, and the fitting-shaft section fits into the fitting-hole section. | 12-22-2011 |

20100243368 | STEERING APPARATUS - A steering apparatus includes: a steering wheel, a shaft that transfers a rotational force from the steering wheel, a steering column that supports the shaft, a fitting bracket with which the steering column is fitted to a vehicle body-side member, a rotational force assist mechanism that applies a rotational force to the shaft, and a tilt mechanism that changes a tilt angle of the steering column. The fitting bracket includes a support portion that tiltably supports the steering column, and a secured portion secured to the vehicle body-side member. The fitting bracket is structured in such a manner that the secured portion and the support portion lie in the same plane perpendicular to the rotational axis of the shaft when the steering column is at a predetermined tilt angle that is within a range of tilt angle achievable by using the tilt mechanism. | 09-30-2010 |

20110215272 | EXHAUST VALVE STRUCTURE - An exhaust valve structure includes: an inner cylindrical portion that forms an introducing passage of exhaust gas and that has a stay member; a valve element that closes or opens the introducing passage; and a wire mesh that is fixed to the stay member and that contacts the valve element when the introducing passage is closed. The wire mesh is formed in a shape such that a diameter of the wire mesh gradually increases toward a downstream side of the introducing passage and a load exerted on the stay member when the valve element contacts the wire mesh is distributed in a diameter-increasing direction in which the diameter of the wire mesh increases. | 09-08-2011 |

20100278717 | Method and apparatus for manufacturing carbon nanotube - A carbon nanotube manufacturing method wherein a catalyst is heated in a reaction chamber while the reaction chamber is filled with argon gas containing hydrogen. When a predetermined temperature is reached in the reaction chamber, the reaction chamber is evacuated. Then a raw material gas as a carbon source is charged and sealed in the reaction chamber whereupon the synthesis of carbon nanotube begins. Subsequently, when a condition in which the synthesis of carbon nanotubes has proceeded to a predetermined level is detected, gases in the reaction chamber are exhausted. Then, the raw material gas is changed and sealed in the reaction tube again. Thereafter, the charging (synthesizing) operation and the exhausting operation are repeated until the carbon nanotube with a desired film thickness are synthesized. A carbon nanotube manufacturing apparatus is also disclosed | 11-04-2010 |
