Abstract: A method of producing an optical recording medium according to the present invention includes the steps of forming a recording film on a transparent substrate, recording signals in the form of perforated pit rows on the recording film by a laser beam, and forming a reflection layer on the recording film on which the pit rows have been formed. The recording film is bleached after recording or the laser beam used for recording is selected to have a wavelength different from that of a laser beam used for reproducing so that the recording film is transparent to the laser beam used for reproducing.

Abstract: An electronic circuit module comprises a case, first and second substrates disposed in the case on opposite inner walls with a gap therebetween and, a flexible film having a circuit pattern thereon and attached at a part to the first substrate and attached at another part to the second substrate. A first group of electronic components including a heat-generating component are mounted on the film part attached to the first substrate. A second group of electronic components including a low-heat-resistive component are mounted on the film part attached to the second substrate. The gap between the first and second substrates is filled with a resin layer, preferably a foam resin layer, having a low heat conductivity so as to prevent a heat transfer from the heat-generating part to the low-heat-resistive part.

Abstract: There is provided an optical disc of high reliability, with the recording film protected from deterioration. The optical disc of this invention is produced by forming a tellurium suboxide film or optomagnetic recording film on a substrate made by injection molding from a polycarbonate resin. The substrate is made from a polycarbonate resin containing a phosphite ester-based antioxidant in a specific low amount.

Abstract: An optical disc comprises a resin disc substrate, a recording medium layer formed on the disc substrate, a high purity of transparent layer, and a transparent protective resin layer. The transparency of the transparent layer is larger than that of the transparent protective resin layer. A laser beam is focused on the recording medium layer through the transparent protective layer and the transparent layer. The transparent layer is a transparent adhesive layer or an air layer. The focused laser beam is not affected by foreign matter in the vicinity of the recording medium layer due to the high transparency of the transparent layer on the recording medium layer.

Abstract: There are provided acrylic plastic lenses having a wide range of refractive indices as well as excellent physical and optical properties by polymerization of specific acrylic monomers in the presence of a photopolymerization initiator and a thermal polymerization catalyst.

Abstract: A film condenser formed of a solderable metal foil composed on one member 1 selected from the group consisting of copper, tin, and aluminum having a heat resistant plastic film 2 coated on one surface and a vapor-deposited metal film 3 on the surface of the heat resistant plastic film facing away from the metal foil. Two lead wires each having a part bent in the shape of a V or u with the open end facing laterally of the length of the wire and having a size to prevent solder in a molten state from flowing out of the bent part during soldering due to the surface tension of the molten solder are soldered to the other surface of the metal foil and to the surface of the metal film facing away from the plastic film.

Abstract: A flow restrictor includes a housing having a chamber defined therein which is divided into two pressure chambers by means of a partition wall. An umbrella-shaped one-way check valve, for permitting or blocking fluidic communication between the two pressure chambers, and an orifice for restricting the fluidic communication between the two chambers, are coaxially arranged on the partition wall so as to decrease the size of the flow restrictor.

Abstract: An orifice device communicable with a vacuum source comprises a first and a second orifice means of sintered metal. The first orifice means is usually closed by a flexible one-way check valve which may keep closed when the air flows in one direction and may be released from the first orifice means when the air flows in the other direction. The air flow normally is passed through the second orifice means thereby to be restricted in both directions, whereby the orifice means are effective independently of each other. Another embodiment is disclosed wherein a flexible member is mounted in and restricts flow in one direction through the central portion of a single sintered metal element.
