Abstract: Cover film has a base material layer and a surface layer chemically bonded to the base material layer, where the surface layer includes a polyurethane resin X1 containing urethane and urea units and a polyorganosiloxane group in the molecule, the polyurethane resin X1 is a reaction product of a non-yellowing-type isocyanate component B1 with an active hydrogen component A1 including a compound a1-1, the base material layer includes a polyurethane resin X2 having a urethane bond in the molecule, and the polyurethane resin X2 is a reaction product of a non-yellowing-type isocyanate component B2 with an active hydrogen component A2 which does not include the compound a1-1, and has a certain crosslinking point concentration and also has a certain elastic recovery rate.

Abstract: A wheel bearing apparatus has an outer member, an inner member and double row rolling elements contained between the outer member and the inner member. A first cap is press-fit into an inboard-side opening of the outer member. The first cap has a cylindrical fitting portion press-fit into an inside fitting surface of the outer member. A bottom portion extends radially inward from the fitting portion to cover the inboard-side end of the inner member. An elastic member is integrally adhered onto an inboard-side outer circumference of the fitting portion of the first cap. The elastic member projects radially outward beyond the outer diameter of the fitting portion. A retracted surface is formed on an inboard-side from the inside fitting surface, via a step portion. The retracted surface has a larger diameter than that of the inside fitting surface. The elastic member press-contacts against the retracted surface while being elastically deformed.

Abstract: An opto-electronic integrated circuit includes an optical splitter (12, 13A, 13B) formed on a substrate, the optical splitter branching an input optical signal into N (N is an integer of 2 or more) optical signals, and outputting the optical signals, and N optical phase modulators (15A-15D) formed on the substrate for the respective optical signals output from the optical splitter, the optical phase modulators adjusting the phases of the optical signals based on a phase modulation characteristic in which the phase change amount changes depending on the wavelength of light, and output the optical signals.

Abstract: Provided are an additive for positive electrodes, which is capable of increasing the output of a lithium secondary battery and is capable of maintaining cycle characteristics even during high-speed charge and discharge; and a positive electrode for lithium secondary batteries. The additive for positive electrodes of lithium secondary batteries, which contains, as an essential constituent, a substituted polythiophene that has a repeating unit, which is obtained by substituting a hydrogen atom in the 3-position and/or in the 4-position of a thiophene ring with at least one group that is selected from the group consisting of a perfloroalkylalkoxy group, a perfloroalkoxy group, a perfloroalkoxyalkyl group and an alkyl group substituted with the perfloroalkylalkoxy group, as at least a part of a thiophene repeating group.
