Abstract: An object of inspection is an active matrix substrate including a plurality of
pixels, each of the plurality of pixels being connected with one of a plurality of signal
lines, one of a plurality of scanning lines, and one of a plurality of voltage supply lines,
and including a pixel select transistor connected with the one signal line and the one
scanning line and an operating transistor, a gate of the operating transistor being
connected with the pixel select transistor, a drain of the operating transistor being
connected with the one voltage supply line, and a source of the operating transistor
being in an open state. This inspection method includes charging a parasitic capacitor
between the gate and the drain of the operating transistor by supplying a potential from
an inspection device, measuring discharge current from the parasitic capacitor by using
the inspection device by discharging the parasitic capacitor, and determining whether or
not a defect exists in each of the plurality of pixels by using the inspection device based

Abstract: This invention provides a data-reproduction apparatus that is
capable of performing the reproduction process after quickly and
suitably obtaining a summary of the reproduction contents of the
reproduction data from which reproduction is to be restarted. 
     This data-reproduction apparatus comprises: a memory(9) that
stores stop-position data for specifying the portion in a title from which
reproduction is to be restarted after reproduction of the title is paused;
a CPU(4) that determines, based on the stored stop-position data,
whether the title to be reproduced this time is a title that was paused
and from which reproduction is to be restarted, or is a title that is to be
reproduced from the beginning of the title, and when it is determined
that the title is a title that was paused and from which reproduction is
to be restarted, it specifies the portion from where reproduction is to be
restarted based on the stop-position data, and outputs a still image
that is representative of the specified restart position; however when it
is determined that the title is to be reproduced from the beginning of
the title, it outputs a preset thumbnail image.

Abstract: The present invention provides an airbag device (20) for, upon collision of
a vehicle (10) carrying the airbag device with an obstacle (75), mitigating the
impact of collision of the obstacle with an inflated airbag. The airbag device
includes a bag housing case (22) and a cover (26). A main airbag (30) and a
