Abstract: A decorative sheet (10) comprising: (a) a light-transmitting covering film (12) which comprises a vinyl chloride resin; (b) a light-transmitting bonding composite layer (14) which is adhered to the back of said covering film and (c) a metal layer (16) which is adhered to the back of said bonding composite layer, wherein said bonding composite layer comprises the first resin layer (18) adhered to said covering film, and the second resin layer (20) adhered to said metal layer (16), said first resin layer (18) comprises a saturated polyester or a aminoethylated resin, and said second resin layer (20) comprises (i) a polyester having a siloxane bond in a molecule or (ii) a polyurethane resin having a siloxane bond in a molecule and a polyester unit.

Abstract: To provide a method for the production of a decorative film, by which minute uneven patterns can randomly be formed on a metal layer, and a decorative film which presents rainbow color appearances irrespective of observing directions. The decorative film of the present invention is produced from a decorative film precursor comprising the first resin layer, the second layer having a thickness of 0.3 to 0.8 &mgr;m, and a metal layer, which are laminated in this order. When the decorative film precursor is heated at a specific temperature for a certain time, and then cooled, the second resin layer reversibly expands and shrinks. During the expansion and shrinkage of the second resin layer, the metal layer in contact with the second resin layer plastically deforms, and minute uneven patterns are formed. The minute uneven patterns function as a diffraction gratin which presents rainbow color appearances irrespective of observing directions.

Abstract: Aminophenol derivatives represented by the following formula (1): ##STR1## wherein X is O or S; A is alkylene, R.sup.1 is phenyl, etc., R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are H or alkyl; R.sup.4 is substituted carbamoylalkyl, etc.; R.sup.5 is substituted amino, etc.; their salts, and optical isomers of the derivatives and salts. Also disclosed are gastrin receptor antagonists, cholecystokinin receptor antagonists, and medicines for digestive diseases. The compounds have strong binding inhibition against gastrin receptor or CCK-A receptor and also they have higher selectivity to either group of CCK-A receptor or gastrin receptor, and therefore, the compounds are useful for preventing and treating gastrointestinal diseases including peptic ulcers as well as central nervous system diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a molded electric part which does not include any lead wires and is preferably compact in size and light in weight. The molded electric part of the invention can effectively prevent deterioration of an electric element by molding the element with a resin. The invention is also directed to a method of simultaneously manufacturing a number of products having fixed dimensions and excellent electrical properties through injection molding with a multi-forming mold complex. A molded film capacitor (1) of the invention includes a film capacitor element (2) and an element-receiving body (3) mainly composed of a synthetic resin with high dielectric ability. The film capacitor element (2) is accommodated in an element-receiving recess (7) formed in a substantial center of the element-receiving body (3).

Abstract: A printed circuit board connector has: an insulating housing (2); SMT type contacts (7, 11) disposed in the insulating housing and spaced apart from each other; and each contact having a lead (11) which extends to a junction surface (2a) of the housing so as to be soldered to a conductive pattern (16) formed on a printed circuit board (15). The lead (11) of each contact is a plating layer (10) formed on the junction surface (2a). The contacts (7) are pin contacts held in place by the insulating housing (2) so as to be electrically connected to the plating layer (10) formed as the leads. The contacts' leads are included in a common plane so that the reliability of electric connection and the durability of connector are improved, and the connector is rendered thinner and more compact to reduce an area required to mount it.
