Abstract: An anticorrosion structure includes at least one of a metal bolt and a metal nut, and an anticorrosion member coating a portion, protruding beyond a connection surface, of a connecting part using at least one of the bolt and the nut, the anticorrosion member being formed of a silicone rubber obtained by curing a silicone rubber compound.

Abstract: An RF-tagged tool includes a tool; a first RF tag; and a self-adhesive silicone rubber bonding member covering at least part of the first RF tag so as to immovably affix the first RF tag to the tool. A method for attaching RF tags to tools includes fixing a tool and an RF tag by covering at least part of the RF tag with an uncured self-adhesive silicone rubber sheet; and curing the self-adhesive silicone rubber sheet to form a self-adhesive silicone rubber bonding member.

Abstract: An image projection structure includes a first transparent layer having an irregular surface; a reflection layer arranged on the irregular surface of the first transparent layer; an adhesion layer arranged on the reflection surface; and a second transparent layer arranged on the adhesion layer. The adhesion layer is configured of linear polymers with a mold shrinkage factor of less than 3%. The second transparent layer is configured of a resin having a cross-linking structure.

Abstract: There are provided a near-infrared cut filter having a sufficient near-infrared blocking property and being capable of reducing or preventing, in a solid-state imaging device using the near-infrared cut filter, occurrence of a phenomenon that an object which did not exist on the original subject appears in a taken image, and also a highly sensitive solid-state imaging device having the near-infrared cut filter. A near-infrared cut filter includes a stack having a near-infrared absorbing glass substrate and a near-infrared absorbing layer containing a near-infrared absorbing dye and a transparent resin on at least one main surface of the near-infrared absorbing glass substrate, and a dielectric multilayer film formed on at least one main surface of the stack, wherein maximum transmittance at an incident angle of 31 to 60 degrees with respect to light with a wavelength of from 775 to 900 nm is 50% or less.

Abstract: There is provided a method for recovering indium, the method being capable of recovering indium having a high purity at simple and inexpensive steps in a short time and with a high recovery. After indium containing substances, such as ITO target scraps, are crushed, the crushed substances are ground until the percentage of coarse particles having a larger particle size than a predetermined particle size is not larger than a predetermined percentage. Thereafter, the ground substances are dissolved in an acid, and the solution thus obtained is neutralized with an alkali so that the pH of the solution is 0.5 to 4. Then, the solution is aged at a temperature of 60 to 70° C. for 3 hours or longer to deposit and remove hydroxides of predetermined metal ions in the solution.

Abstract: A press apparatus for reducing widths of hot slabs comprises a pair of anvils movable toward and away from each other in width directions of the hot slabs, width reduction heads to which the pair of anvils are attached, respectively, and eccentric presses for reciprocatively driving the width reduction heads through sliders, respectively. The apparatus further comprises width adjusting means incorporated in the eccentric presses, respectively, for changing distances between the width reduction heads and the sliders. Each of the anvils has a parallel portion in parallel to a feeding direction of the hot slabs and an inclined portion on an entry side in the feeding direction. With this arrangement, the reducing distance can be set according to the desired distance of reduction in width in continuous width reduction and the reduction in width can be continuously effected with the set reducing distance with high efficiency.
