Abstract: An electromagnetic radiation absorber is made up of a composite of base material and filler. The base material is formed of high permittivity dielectric material and formed in a cubic shape. The filler is formed of high magnetic permeability material and fills in long holes formed inside the base material in three directions. In the composite, the high permittivity dielectric material and the high magnetic permeability material are arranged in a three-dimensionally continuous manner. Accordingly, a thinned and light-weighted electromagnetic radiation absorber and a method for absorbing electromagnetic radiation are provided which have a high electromagnetic radiation absorbing property with respect to electromagnetic radiation of wide band including electromagnetic radiation of low frequency.

Abstract: The sound-permeable member 18 includes a waterproof sound-permeable membrane 1 that allows sound to pass therethrough and blocks liquid from passing therethrough and a main body 8 having an opening 8p for passing sound. The opening 8p is closed by the waterproof sound-permeable membrane 1. The waterproof sound-permeable membrane 1 is fixed to the main body 8 in a slack state. A polytetrafluoroethylene porous membrane and a porous ultrahigh-molecular weight polyethylene membrane preferably can be used as the waterproof sound-permeable membrane 1.

Abstract: A steel plate reinforcing sheet that can reduce distortions of the steel plate without reducing its reinforcing property and can also prevent abrupt deformations at end portions thereof with respect to a direction extending along a curving direction of a curved steel plate. The steel reinforcing sheet features a generally rectangular shape, as defined by a length and a width, and two end portions on either side of an imaginary line which bisects the length of the steel plate reinforcing sheet. The steel plate reinforcing sheet is a laminate including a restricting layer and a reinforcing layer, wherein each end portion of the restricting layer includes at least one slit. Each slit extends directly or indirectly across the entire width of the steel plate reinforcing sheet, and the two slits closest to the imaginary line define a minimum distance between slits.

Abstract: A reinforcement for a flexible printed circuit board, which can sufficiently prevent the flexible printed circuit board thus reinforced from being warped when heated during the assembly process of electronic components or other procedures. The reinforcement according to the present invention is used to adhere to a flexible printed circuit board 1. The reinforcement according to the present invention comprises an internal material 21 having a bending neutral surface at the center of the thickness thereof, and an external material 22 having the same Young's modulus as that of an insulating substrate 11 of the flexible printed circuit board 1, bonded to one side of the internal material 21. The other side of the internal material 21 acts as an adhesive surface to the flexible printed circuit board 1.
