Abstract: A transparent conductive laminate consisting of a transparent polymer substrate, an uneven cured resin layer formed on at least one side of the substrate and a transparent conductive layer formed on the cured resin layer directly or through another layer. The cured resin layer contains fine particles A having an average primary particle diameter of 0.5 to 5 ?m and super fine particles C having an average primary particle diameter of 100 nm or less made of a metal oxide and/or a metal fluoride. The above transparent conductive laminate does not cause the deterioration of visibility by sparkling even when a transparent touch panel is mounted on a high-definition display and can prevent “Newton rings” which occurs between two transparent electrode substrates constituting the transparent touch panel.

These rubber-like or rubber-like-material-containing articles include a rubber-like elastic article made from a hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid or a modified product thereof. A polymer obtained by reacting a natural polyisoprenoid with hydrogen in a solvent in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, for example, can be used as the hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid. The hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid preferably has a degree of hydrogenation of 50% or more. The hydrogenated natural polyisoprenoid preferably has a weight-average molecular weight of 20×104 or more and a molecular-weight distribution of 2.0 or more. The rubber-like or rubber-like-material-containing articles have excellent heat resistance and weather resistance, and are also excellent in view of resources and environment, because they use plant-derived raw materials.

Abstract: A cone part in a chucking device capable of freely attaching and detaching a disc having a disc shape includes an abutting portion for abutting an inner peripheral surface of a central through hole of the disc with substantially equal forces along an entire circumference thereof and aligning the disc.

Abstract: An information communication system in which main data and restore-date used for restoring the main data are written in a memory card by a first information apparatus. The main data and the restore-data are read from the memory card by a second information apparatus. On the basis of the restore-data, the main data is restored by the second information apparatus. The main data, thus restored is processed and/or output by the second information apparatus.

Abstract: A wire electrode for use in wire-cut electrical discharge machining which can be used under a high machining tension and which produces no appreciable deposit on the workpiece it is used to machine. The wire of the invention may be made of an amorphous metal or amorphous alloy composed primarily of iron, cobalt, or copper, and coated on its surface with a layer of a metal such as zinc, magnesium, tin, lead, cadmium or alloys thereof. Alternatively, the wire electrode may be a wire of highly fine crystalline particles fabricated by super-quenching from a pure metal or an alloy of a pure metal in a molten state at a cooling rate of 10.sup.3 to 10.sup.5 .degree.C./sec in a super-quenching process such as a spinning process which forms a wire in a rotating liquid layer.

Abstract: A wire electrode for wire-cut electrical discharge machining includes a wire composed of a core made of one of an amorphous pure metal and an amorphous alloy and a thin crystalline layer serving as a surface of the core. The wire may be coated on its surface with a layer of a material of high electrical conductivity. The amorphous alloy may be Cu-based, Fe-based, or Co-based. The use of an amorphous pure metal or alloy yields a wire electrode of much greater tensile strength than previous wire electrodes, enabling a higher machining speed.
