Abstract:
A thermoplastic resin laminate is a transparent substrate material or protective material which is excellent in transparency, birefringence, and pattern-formability. The laminate is a synthetic resin laminate formed of a methacrylic resin layer, and a vinyl copolymer resin layer laminated on one or both sides of the methacrylic resin layer. The vinyl copolymer resin contains a (meth)acrylate structural unit and an aliphatic vinyl structural unit represented by specific formulas. The ratio of the sum of the (meth)acrylate structural units and the aliphatic vinyl structural units is 90 to 100 mol % with respect to all the structural units that form the resin. The ratio by mole of the (meth)acrylate structural unit to the aliphatic vinyl structural unit is 65:35 to 85:15. The methacrylic resin contains a structural unit having no benzene ring in an amount of 90 mol % or more with respect to all the structural units.
Abstract:
To provide a highly transparent thermoplastic resin composition without requiring, for example, a special molecular design or incorporation of an additive, with the refractive index of the composition being readily controllable.The highly transparent and refractive-index-controllable thermoplastic resin composition can be produced by blending a thermoplastic resin (A) containing a structural unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer represented by a specific chemical formula and a structural unit derived from an aromatic vinyl monomer represented by a specific chemical formula, with a thermoplastic resin (B) obtained by hydrogenating aromatic double bonds of a thermoplastic resin which contains a structural unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer represented by a specific chemical formula and a structural unit derived from an aromatic vinyl monomer represented by a specific chemical formula.
Abstract:
A game machines has a back side display unit composed of reels for displaying back patterns, and a front side display unit composed of transparent EL panels for displaying overlapping patterns overlapping with the back patterns. The back side display unit and the front side display unit are disposed not to produce blind spot regions of the back patterns. The game machine can provide various overlapping patterns with good visibility and a high game selection capability to a player.
Abstract:
When a plurality of magneto-optic disks are inserted via a mail slot (12) provided in a front panel block (1), a controller block (23) controls a manipulator of a robotics block (2) so as to load the magneto-optic disks in Magneto-Optic disk arrays (4) and (5) constituted by connecting a plurality of Magneto-Optic drives and one Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk controller. When the Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk recording system is selected by the user, the controller block (23) controls the recording operation of the Magneto-Optic disk arrays (4) and (5) in accordance with the selected recording system. More specifically, when the Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disk recording system of striping is selected, the controller block (23) divides the data supplied from the outside and controls the recording operation of the Magneto-Optic drives so as to perform the recording in parallel by the Magneto Optic drives. Thus, it becomes possible to handle data of a high transfer speed such as image data.
Abstract:
An optical disc system uses an optical disc with a light-transmitting cover and an objective lens for bundling or focusing a light beam on a recording layer of the optical disc in order to perform recording and/or reproducing of information. The thickness of the light-transmitting cover falls within the range of 0.05 mm to 0.6 mm, the numerical aperture (NA) of the objective lens is set to fall within the range of 0.55 to 1.10, and the wavelength of the light beam is selected to be between 100 nm to 780 nm.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device comprises a plurality of gate electrodes, drain electrodes, and source electrodes axi-symmetrically formed on opposite sides of a gate pad and drain pad. Two source pads are arranged at ends of these electrodes, to which the source electrodes are connected, so that a gate width can be shortened. Therefore, an output power, gain, etc., can be increased, and the high-frequency characteristics can be improved. Further, when arranging a plurality of semiconductor devices in parallel, the semiconductor chip can be formed in the shape of a square, i.e., the aspect ratio thereof can be reduced, and therefore, cracks in the semiconductor chip (semiconductor device) can be avoided.

Abstract:
A magnetic metal powder, having a large specific surface are, a high coercive force, a high dispersibility and an excellent corrosion resistance, is produced by converting an aciculate goethite having a silicon and/or aluminum compound layer formed thereon or an aciculate goethite modified with a metal other than iron into magnetite, forming thereon a nonferrous transition metal compound layer, further forming thereon a silicon or aluminum compound layer, and reducing the coated magnetite to prepare a magnetic metal powder mainly composed of iron and having on the surface thereof a layer containing a nonferrous transition metal element, characterized in that the formation of the silicon and/or aluminum compound layer on the aciculate goethite and/or the formation of the nonferrous transition metal layer on the magnetite are conducted while conducting dispersion by means of a disperser.
