  • Publication number: 20240091126
    Abstract: Base coat as an example of a resin composition for a cosmetic is a resin composition for a cosmetic used in a cosmetic to be adhered to nail as a part of living body. The resin composition for a cosmetic includes a stimulus-responsive material that undergoes a volume change by external stimuli, the external stimuli excluding both an external stimulus due to contact with a solvent and an external stimulus due to contact with a solution, and a solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic has a surface with a water contact angle between 30° and 110° (inclusive). The solidified matter of the resin composition for a cosmetic undergoes the volume change by application of the external stimuli to reduce strength of adhesion to the part of living body.

  • Patent number: 8116193
    Abstract: An optical recording medium includes a main-information area in which a metal reflection film is formed on a substrate where a row of pits is formed as main data, and a sub-information area in which is recorded medium identification information, which is used to identify the optical recording medium individually, by removing the metal reflection film partially and forming a plurality of reflection-film removed areas. Information is reproduced by irradiating the metal reflection film with a beam of light. In the sub-information area, a row of pits or a guide groove is formed on the substrate, and a track pitch of the row of pits or the guide groove is at least 0.24 ?m wide and at most 0.45 ?m wide.

  • Patent number: 7012857
    Abstract: A magneto optical recording medium capable of stable recording and readout using a DWDD system is provided. The magneto optical recording medium of the present invention comprises an optical disk substrate and a multilayer recording film comprising essentially a readout layer, an intermediate layer, and a recording layer successively formed on top of the substrate. The readout layer has a smaller magnetic domain wall coercivity than the recording layer. The intermediate layer comprises a magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is lower than the readout layer and the recording layer. A recorded/readout magnetic domain corresponding to recorded/readout information is formed only in a groove area of the optical disk substrate. The thickness of the recording film at the boundary between mutually adjacent recording track areas is smaller than the thickness of the recording film in the center portions of the recording track areas.
