Abstract: As a green light emitting phosphor capable of emission upon excitation with light having a wavelength of 350 to 500 nm, characterized in containing Tb3+ ions as emission ions in high concentrations without causing concentration quenching, the present invention provides a green light emitting phosphor capable of emission upon excitation with light having a wavelength of 350 to 500 nm, characterized by having a composition represented by the compositional formula (1): ATbxLn(1-x)M2O8??(1) wherein A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, and Ag, Ln is at least one element selected from rare earth elements including Y and excluding Tb, M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mo and W, and x is a positive number satisfying 0.4?x?1, and a light emitting device incorporated with the green light emitting phosphor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for displacement of at least a small volume of liquid (5) under the effect of an electrical control, including a substrate (1) provided with first electrically conducting means (2), the device also comprising second electrically conducting means (3) arranged facing the first electrically conducting means (2), the first electrically conducting means and the second electrically conducting means possibly being connected to electrical power supply means to enable the application of electrostatic forces to the small liquid volume (5). The second electrically conducting means include at least one conducting wire (3) arranged parallel to the substrate and at a fixed distance from the substrate to enable displacement of the small volume of liquid (5) along said conducting wire (3) under the effect of the applied electrostatic forces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a low-odor, polymerizable, cold-curing (meth)acrylate composition for floor coatings exhibiting low health hazards during application and consisting of (A) 50–100 wt % a (meth)acrylate; (B) 0–2 parts by weight per 1 part by weight of (A) of a pre-polymer that dissolves or swells in (A); (C) 2–5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of (A+B) of at least one paraffin and/or wax; (D) a redox system, containing an accelerator and a peroxide catalyst or initiator in an amount that is adequate for cold-curing of Component A; and (E) a conventional additive.

Abstract: As an example of this invention, user data which is broken up into sectors and is scrambled for each sector using a randomly generated scramble pattern, and scramble pattern data for specifying the scramble pattern used in scrambling are recorded on a recording medium.

Abstract: An outboard motor includes an engine disposed above an engine holder in a mounted usable state of the outboard motor, and the engine comprises a crankcase in which a crankshaft extends vertically perpendicularly, a cylinder block disposed rear side of the crankcase, and a cylinder head disposed rear side of the cylinder block. A starter motor mounted to a front surface of the crank case and an oil filter is further mounted to the crank case at a portion below the starter motor.
