  • Patent number: 11927451
    Abstract: Provided is a route search device and a non-transitory computer-readable medium that can search a route where a transportation means more suitable for a user is selected. When searching a route to a destination, a change point at which the transportation means is changed is set, and then the priority in selecting a transportation means for moving in a section from a plurality kinds of transportation means is set based on at least one of an attribute of a start point and an attribute of an end point in the section for each section where a distance between a departure place and a destination is divided at the change point to search the route to the destination using the transportation means selected for each of the plurality of sections based on the set priority.

  • Patent number: 10540045
    Abstract: The transparent conductor involves a first laminate part including a transparent resin substrate and a transmittance-controlling layer, and a second laminate part including the transparent resin substrate, the transmittance-controlling layer, a metal layer containing silver or a silver alloy, and a metal oxide layer in the order presented. The first laminate part and the second laminate part are adjacent to each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of lamination of the first laminate part and the second laminate part, and the difference between the transmittance of the first laminate part in the direction of lamination, T1, and the transmittance of the second laminate part in the direction of lamination, T2, (T2?T1) is 4% or more.

  • Patent number: 10510457
    Abstract: The transparent conductor includes a transparent resin substrate, a first metal oxide layer, a metal layer containing a silver alloy, and a second metal oxide layer in the order presented. The first metal oxide layer contains zinc oxide, indium oxide, and titanium oxide, and the content of SnO2 in the first metal oxide layer is 40 mol % or less with respect to the total of four components of zinc oxide, indium oxide, titanium oxide, and tin oxide in terms of ZnO, In2O3, TiO2, and SnO2, respectively. The second metal oxide layer contains the four components, and the content of SnO2 in the second metal oxide layer is 12 to 40 mol % with respect to the total of the four components in terms of ZnO, In2O3, TiO2, and SnO2, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20100143586
    Abstract: The spin coating apparatus includes: a collet including a tubular portion disposed coaxially with a predetermined rotation axis, the tubular portion having a slit that extends from a top portion of the tubular portion in a direction of the rotation axis to a midway part in the direction of the rotation axis; and a diameter-expanding member for urging the tubular portion of the collet radially outwardly to expand the outer diameter of the tubular portion. With the spin coating apparatus, a plate-like workpiece having a center hole is held at the center hole by the tubular portion of the collet with both sides of the workpiece exposed, and a flowable material can be applied to both the sides of the workpiece.
