Abstract: An adhesive sheet comprising a substrate and an adhesive layer formed on at least one side of the substrate, characterized in that an adhesive agent contained in the adhesive layer comprises an acrylic ester copolymer and a citrate plasticizer; the acrylic ester copolymer has a glass transition temperature of ?45° C. or less; the citrate plasticizer is contained in an amount of 1.0 to 50.0 parts by mass (solid content), with respect to 100 parts by mass (solid content) of the acrylic ester copolymer; and a rate of a gel content in the adhesive agent in the adhesive layer is 70% or more, is disclosed. The adhesive sheet according to the present invention has a slightly-adhesive property and a removable property, and can be suitably used, for example, as a carrier sheet.

Abstract: A manufacturing method for efficiently cutting a pocket coil spring row which is incorporated and used in a chair, sofa, or bed mattress into lengths suitable for the use without waste of the material is provided wherein a method for double-sealing a separating portion between adjacent pocket coil springs at an arbitrary length position of a serial pocket coil spring row by means of ultrasonic welding or impulse welding and cutting a portion between the double seals with a cutter knife is provided.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor layer being made of monocrystalline silicon or silicon-germanium alloy and a semiconductor layer being made of silicon-germanium-carbon alloy formed thereon, wherein the two layers form a heterojunction therebetween. In such a device, no lattice mismatch occurs between the layers or even if lattice mismatch occurs, it is only slight, so that the silicon-germanium-carbon alloy layer is in no danger of causing misfit dislocation therein.
