Abstract: This layered film includes a base layer and a sealant layer that becomes one outermost surface of the layered film. The base layer contains 77 to 99 parts by mass of a high-density polyethylene having a density of 0.942 to 0.970 g/cm3 and a melt mass-flow rate of 0.1 to 3.0 g/10 min under conditions of a temperature of 190° C. and a load of 2.16 kg and 1 to 23 parts by mass of an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene having a density of 0.930 to 0.960 g/cm3 in a total of 100 parts by mass.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a difluoromethylene compound and an intermediate thereof, which are useful in the field of pharmaceuticals. Specifically provided is a method for producing a difluoromethylene compound, including a step of allowing a compound represented by formula (6): [wherein L1 represents a halogen atom, a cyano group, a lower alkyl group, a halo-lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a lower alkoxy group, a halo-lower alkoxy group, or a hydroxy lower alkyl group; R1 represents a lower alkyl group, a halogen atom, a halo-lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cyano group, or a hydroxy lower alkyl group; and W represents a nitrogen atom or a methine group] to react with a compound represented by formula (7): [wherein R2 represents a lower alkyl group, a halo-lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a lower alkenyl group, or an aralkyl group; and R3 represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom].

Abstract: An article storage unit device for use in a vending machine used for discharging an article at one time. A housing of the unit device defines at least one vertically extending article storing space and has a bottom opening. The housing is provided with a first stop adjacent the bottom opening by which an article is held in the space. A predetermined number of articles are stacked on the lowermost article within the space. The housing is also provided with a second stop for holding an article adjacent to and above the lowermost article. The first stop is releasable to discharge the lowermost article through the bottom opening by the gravity. The second stop is normally released and operates to hold the article for at least a time period during which the first stop is released. For the first and second stop, a cam may be used which is mounted on a drive shaft. The article storing space is adjusted by moving a movable plate within the space.
