Abstract: A three-layered laminated film consisting essentially of (A) a center layer consisting of a crystalline low molecular weight polyolefin having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5 to 1.4 and (B) two surface layers disposed on both sides of the center layer and each consisting of a crystalline polyolefin (b) having a melting point higher than that of the crystalline low molecular weight polyolefin (a), whereby the thickness of the center layer (A) accounts for 30 to 98%, especially 50 to 85%, of the total thickness of the laminated film. The invention also relates to applications of the laminated film.The laminated film of the invention has excellent finger-tearability and high toughness but little tendency to curl, to whiten when torn, to get turbid and fibrillated, and so forth. The laminated film is effectively used as an adhesive tape or other applications.

Abstract: An absorbent pad is provided for use in a receptacle intended to contain and display food products which tend to exude juices or liquids. The absorbent pad comprises a mat of liquid absorbent material, an upper liquid impermeable plastic sheet overlying the absorbent mat, and a bottom plastic sheet underlying the absorbent mat. At least one of the sheets is perforated, and spacer means is disposed between the two sheets to maintain their separation under a compressive load, and such that the ability of the pad to absorb liquids is unimpaired when the pad is subjected to a compressive load resulting from the food product resting thereon or the like.

Abstract: Disclosed is a board made from fibrous material of vegetable origin, consisting of surface and base layers, wherein one of the base layers is made from activated sludge, the content of the components in the total mass of the board in percent by mass being as follows:______________________________________ fibrous material 85-99.5 activated sludge biomass 0.5-15.0 ______________________________________The board may additionally contain a binding agent and a precipitating agent.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a magnetic garnet film for a magnetic bubble element, in which the temperature changing rate of a bubble collapse field is reduced by Gd and Ga and in which the operating characteristics of the bubbles are improved by La and Lu. The temperature coefficient of the bubble collapse field is -0.24 to 0%/.degree. C., and the operating characteristics are remarkably excellent, therefore, this garnet film is suitable for the small bubbles with a diameter smaller than or equal to 1 .mu.m.

Abstract: An artificial shrub comprises a central trunk and a plurality of branches connected thereto by a loop at the end of each branch which is receivable directly on the trunk. Shrubs of this construction are easily user assembled and adjusted for aesthetic effect, particularly where the branches are of appreciable axial extent and downwardly, outswept from the loops. A branch rest in the form of a serrated hoop may be provided to give lateral and radial support for the branch ends.

Abstract: An electrostatic recording medium comprising a support, a conductive layer formed on one surface of the support and made of zinc oxide dispersed in a combination of a cationic polyelectrolyte and a non-conductive binder resin, and a dielectric layer formed on the conductive layer. The cationic polyelectrolyte is contained in an amount of not smaller than 30% by weight of the total of the polyelectrolyte and the binder resin.
