Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a illuminated switching device comprising a small number of components and capable of giving stabilized illumination to a translucent portion of a knob. For this purpose, the illuminated switching device of the present invention has a switch section including a case and a switch terminal protruding out of the case, a printed-circuit board to which the switch terminal is connected, and a lamp having a pair of lamp terminals connected with the printed-circuit board. The lamp terminals are retained and supported on the case.

Abstract: A high permeability metal glassy alloy for high frequencies contains at least one element of Fe, Co, and Ni as a main component, at least one element of Zr, Nb, Ta, Hf, Mo, Ti, V, Cr, and W, and B. In the metal glassy alloy, the temperature interval &Dgr;Tx of a super cooled liquid region, which is represented by the equation &Dgr;Tx=Tx−Tg (wherein Tx represents the crystallization temperature, and Tg represents the glass transition temperature) is 20° C. or more, and resistivity is 200 &mgr;&OHgr;·cm or more.

Abstract: A circuit board comprises: a plurality of solder lands, a wiring pattern having a plurality of wiring lines connected to the solder lands, respectively, an output terminal formed at one end of each of the wiring lines of the wiring pattern, an integrated control circuit connected to the solder lands, and a grounding pattern to be held at a ground potential. The grounding pattern has grounding lines formed between the adjacent wiring lines of the wiring pattern, respectively, so as to be coupled to the wiring lines by capacitive coupling.

Abstract: An intermediate transfer member for a thermal transfer printer adapted to an intermediate transfer method and comprising: an intermediate transfer member, which has a transfer layer, and on which an ink image is written by thermal transfer; and a printing medium onto which the ink image written on the intermediate transfer member is again transferred, wherein material of at least a surface layer of the transfer layer is silicon rubber containing: (a) alkenyl-group-containing organopolysiloxane; (b) organohydrogenpolysiloxane (c) non-reactive organopolysiloxane expressed by the following formula (1): ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon group having no aliphatic unsaturated group or a hydroxyl group, R.sup.2 are the same or different groups, such as methyl groups and phenyl groups, and 1 mol % to 30 mol % of all of R.sup.2 in each molecule are phenyl groups; and (d) a hydrosilylated reactive catalyst, the silicon rubber containing no inorganic filler.

Abstract: A driving device for loading/unloading a tray for a digital audio tape in a tray type cassette apparatus of a digital audio tape player, which device enables to load/unload the tray by utilizing the existing capstan and loading motors without using a separate exclusive driving motor. The driving is arranged such that power may be intermittently transmitted from a transmission gear of the cassette loading apparatus through an intermediate gear, a bevel gear, an up-and-down gear, an input gear and the capstan motor to a cam gear depending upon upwardly and downward movements of the up-and-down gear.

Abstract: A digital audio tape cassette loading device includes an up-down holder assembled to an adjusting plate operatively associated with the brackets by a shaft, a first pin caulked into a cam lever inserted through an oblong hole of an opening lever, a second pin caulked into the cam lever inserted into a cam groove of a cam gear which has a horizontal movement region, a vertical movement region, and a marginal stroke region for adjusting in mode to match with a rack of a tray side plate for engagement.

Abstract: A push-button switch of a water- and dust-proof structure wherein a good operating force charateristic is always assured. The push-button switch has a dummy terminal which is not to be directly soldered to a wiring pattern and is provided at a location of the push-button switch to which flux which appears when a terminal is being soldered to the wiring pattern does not come around. When the switch is soldered to a printed circuit board for the wiring pattern, flux may not possibly enter a gap between a case of the switch and the dummy terminal. After mounting of the switch on the printed circuit board, communication of air between inside and outside the case is assured by the gaps so that the inside of the case is maintained at an equal pressure with external air.
