  • Patent number: 10852455
    Abstract: A laminate of optical elements comprises a transparent first optical element, a second optical element, and a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive layer for bonding the first optical element to the second optical element. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer comprises a base adhesive zone, a transparent refractive index-adjusting zone. The base adhesive zone is made essentially of a transparent base pressure-sensitive adhesive material and formed over a given range from a first principal surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer facing the first optical element, in a thickness direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The a transparent, adherent, refractive index-adjusting zone is formed over a given range from a second principal surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer facing the second optical element.

  • Patent number: 10373326
    Abstract: A control device defines, for three-dimensional blood vessel data of a blood vessel corresponding to a branched center line, a cylindrical coordinate system, thereby converting this into blood vessel data in an orthogonal coordinate system. The control device uses a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in a radial direction at a first coordinate value of the coordinate axis in a center line direction and a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction at a second coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the center line direction, thereby interpolating a coordinate value of the coordinate axis in the radial direction between the first coordinate value and the second coordinate value. The control device converts, after interpolation, the blood vessel data into blood vessel data in the cylindrical coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 10259193
    Abstract: In the case where a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a refractive index adjustment zone is provided in such a manner that two PET separators are laminated to opposite surfaces of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is difficult to distinguish between obverse and reverse sides of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet itself. The present invention is directed to solving the above problems and, specifically, to offering a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a refractive index adjustment zone capable of being easily produced at low cost, in a state in which it is preliminarily laminated with a substrate provided with an electroconductive layer, thereby making it possible to resolve complexity in handling (to easily distinguish between one surface defined by the refractive index adjustment zone and the other surface defined by the remaining zone).

  • Patent number: 10023766
    Abstract: As one sensor layer structure for a capacitive touch panel, a layer structure in which a transparent electroconductive layer is formed on each of opposite surfaces of a single film substrate, so-called GFD structure, is used. In the structure, for sufficiently suppressing internal reflection from the transparent electroconductive layer, it is necessary to employ a technique of forming one or more refractive index adjustment (IM) layers on each of the opposite surfaces of the single film substrate. This causes a problem that production yield is likely to deteriorate, and a production cost is increased. The present invention is directed to solving such a problem and, specifically, to laminating a refractive index adjustment zone-formed pressure-sensitive adhesive layer capable of being produced easily and at low cost, to each transparent electroconductive layer of a double-sided transparent electroconductive film, so as to effectively suppress internal reflection in the resulting laminate.

The cured resin layer is preferably 1 ?m or more and 3 ?m or less in thickness and preferably contains a resin composition containing at least two components that undergo phase separation based on a difference in physical properties and 0.01 to 5 parts by weight of fine particles to 100 parts by weight of the solid content of the resin composition. The particle size of the fine particles is preferably 25 to 80% of the thickness of the cured resin layer.

  • Publication number: 20170185736
    Abstract: A patient terminal accepts a request of a patient to disclose his/her personal information to a worker, and when having determined to permit the worker as a disclosure destination of the personal information based on the current location of the patient terminal and the current location of a worker terminal, transmits, to an information management apparatus, disclosure permission information indicating that the personal information of the patient has been permitted to be disclosed to the worker. When having received the disclosure permission information from the patient terminal, the information management apparatus reads the personal information of the patient from a recording medium, and transmits the personal information of the patient to the worker terminal of the worker who has been permitted to be disclosed the personal information. The worker terminal receives the personal information of the patient from the information management apparatus and displays the personal information.
