  • Patent number: 9034973
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an intermediate film for laminated glass which prevents reductions of transparency and appearance property caused by permeation of moisture and water. The above object is attained by the present invention, i.e., a composition for forming an intermediate film for a laminated glass which comprises ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a compound having alkyleneoxy group. The composition of the present invention enables the formation of an intermediate film for a laminated glass that restrains white spots from occurring by the permeation of moisture and water.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8460787
    Abstract: Sealing film for solar cell which prevents conducting wires and electrodes of the solar cell from rusting and thereby enable the solar cell to retain its high photovoltaic performance for a long period. A light receiving surface sealing film for solar cell comprising ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a cross-linking agent and an acid acceptor. A rear surface sealing film for solar cell comprising ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a cross-linking agent and an acid acceptor, wherein the acid acceptor is contained in the range of not less than 0.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

  • Patent number: 8237741
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that displays, on a display region having a first number of pixels, an image represented by gigantic image data that is recorded in a recording medium and has a second number of pixels that is significantly greater than the first number of pixels, including: a reproducing unit configured to read image data from the recording medium; an output unit configured to output the image data, which is read by the reproducing unit from the recording medium, in synchronization with a vertical synchronization signal; and a control unit configured to control the reproducing unit and the output unit. The control unit performs control to extract and read a region corresponding to the display region from the gigantic image data recorded in the recording medium.
