  • Patent number: 11254843
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive film. The adhesive film has a silicone adhesive layer on one surface or both surfaces of a substrate film. A silicone adhesive material is used to form the silicone adhesive layer. The silicone adhesive material has 120 to 380% of an elongation at break (tensile speed of 300 mm/min, temperature of 25° C.) specified in JIS K 6251, and 1.8×105 to 4.5×105 Pa of a shear storage modulus (frequency of 10 Hz, temperature of 25° C.). The adhesive film generally has good wettability to the surface of an adherend and in general can be easily attached without creating air bubbles, to the extent that, even if air bubbles are created, the air bubbles can be easily dissipated. Further, even though the adhesive film is generally not easily peeled, peeling is generally possible with a small adhesive force during high speed peeling.

    Abstract: A terminal device includes a memory that stores, characters in a game, a plurality of slots into which action reservations for the characters are to be registered, an action sequence for each of the slots, and effects, a display, a receiver that receives a request of an action reservation for a first character, and a processor that outputs, to the memory, the request when the processor determines the first character is in an active state in which the character is allowed to register the action reservation. The memory registers the first character in an earliest slot in the action sequence among the slots in which no other characters have been registered. The processor causes the first character to execute an action associated with the slot according to the action sequence. The effect associated with the first character is applied to the executed action.
