M is one or more of Nb, Hf, Zr, Ta, Mo, W, and V. 0.020?a?0.14 is satisfied. 0.020<b?0.20 is satisfied. 0?d?0.060 is satisfied. ??0 is satisfied. ??0 is satisfied. 0??+??0.50 is satisfied. c and e are within a predetermined range. The soft magnetic alloy has a nanohetero structure or a structure of Fe based nanocrystallines.

Abstract: A pattern is formed by applying a coating composition containing magnetic particles to an article so that a coating film is formed, and a plurality of sheet form magnets are placed along the front surface of this coating film. Adjacent sheet form magnets are arranged in such a state that the magnetic poles on the front surface and the magnetic poles on the back surface are different between adjacent sheet form magnets, and side surfaces of the sheet form magnets contact each other. The coating composition contains a thermoplastic resin, magnetic particles with flaky form and a specific low boiling point solvent and a specific high boiling point solvent. A magnetic field is applied to the coating film by the sheet form magnets, so that the magnetic particles in the coating film are oriented by the magnetic field and the magnetic particles are oriented substantially parallel to the front surface of the coating film above the contact portions between the sheet form magnets.

Abstract: A coating composition for forming a pattern includes a thermoplastic resin, magnetic particles with flaky form and a specific solvent. As the thermoplastic resin, a vinyl acetate based resin, an acryl based resin or a cellulose acetate butyrate resin is preferable. The specific solvent contains a low boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 50° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, and a high boiling point solvent having a boiling point that is higher than 100° C. and 200° C. or lower. The coating composition for forming a pattern is set so that the viscosity 20 seconds to 60 seconds after application on the surface of an article to be coated is 2,000 mPa·s to 500,000 mPa·s in a normal state, and the viscosity between 60 seconds and 120 seconds after application is no lower than 100,000 mPa·s. In addition, the coating composition is set so that the viscosity between 60 seconds and 120 seconds after application is greater than the viscosity 20 seconds to 60 seconds after application.

Abstract: A method for searching for at least one recordable area in which real time data can be recorded from at least one empty area included in an information recording medium includes a first step of setting at least one of a starting end and a terminating end of the section so as to match at least one of a starting end and a terminating end of at least one empty area, and determining whether or not the section fulfills an unused area condition regarding the size and the number; and a second step of determining at least one empty area, included in an area on an information recording medium including at least one section fulfilling the unused area condition, as a recordable area in which real time data can be recorded.

Abstract: The invention provides an attachment unit for installing a video camera in various vehicles. This attachment unit prevents a mount from rotating together with an arm. The attachment unit includes a mount secured to a hook member for a sun visor, an arm attached to the mount, and an attachment table attached to a tip end of the arm. Herein, the arm is rotatable about a first vertical axis with respect to the mount. An attachment hole is formed in a base end of the mount, and includes a square main hole and irregularities each formed around the main hole. The attachment hole is formed into a shape such that fitting parts of various hook members are fitted thereinto.
