Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a thermosetting material capable of forming a reinforcing member with which a flexible printed circuit board can be reinforced at a level high enough to prevent, for example, detachment of components even without using a reinforcing metal plate, which increases the thickness of an electronic device or the like.

Abstract: A system including a reader and an information terminal is provided. The information terminal displays an information code, while the reader optically reads the information code. The reader includes an emission unit and an imaging unit. The emission unit emits light in a predetermined emission state when the information code is imaged by the imaging unit. The information terminal includes an imaging unit, a control unit and a display unit. The control unit of the information terminal drives/controls the display unit to display the information code only when the predetermined emission state is imaged by the imaging unit. That is, unless the predetermined emission state of the emission unit of the reader is imaged by the imaging unit of the information terminal, the information code is not displayed on the display unit of the information terminal. Thus, security in reading the information code is further improved.

Abstract: At a present buckle device, lateral slits are formed in lateral portions of a slider of a buckle switch. A tab is formed at a portion, which is further toward a device upper side than the lateral slit, of a lateral portion that is at a device left side. A portion, which is further toward a device lower side than the lateral slit, at the lateral portion is an elastic portion, and a magnet is held thereat. Therefore, even if the tab receives pushing force from an ejector and is deformed, deformation arising at the elastic portion can be suppressed, and holding of the magnet can be stabilized.

Abstract: In a buckle device, displacement of a buckle cover in a width direction with respect to a buckle guide is restricted by restricting grooves of the buckle cover and restricting ribs of the buckle guide that enter the restricting grooves. This enables a space to be secured between a wall portion on one side in a width direction of the buckle cover and a wall portion on one side in a width direction of the buckle guide.

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate precursor has a substrate comprising a hydrophilic surface and two opposing edges; a radiation-sensitive imagable layer, and optionally, a protective layer disposed over that layer. The precursor has a shear droop at each opposing edge, each shear droop having a shear droop depth Y of 20-200 ?m and a shear droop width X of 500-2000 ?m. The precursor also has a hydrophilic coating band extending from each of the two opposing edges inwardly along the hydrophilic surface independently to provide a hydrophilic coating band width A of at least 1.5 times the shear droop width X. This hydrophilic coating band comprises amphoteric surfactant(s) in an amount greater than all other surfactants. Such individual precursors are obtained by cutting a continuous radiation-sensitive web into strips and such cutting creates the shear droop that can result in edge staining if the hydrophilic coating band is not present.

Abstract: In a seat belt device, when a buckle cover is moved obliquely upward in a vehicle forward direction relative to a buckle guide and the buckle cover reaches a moving endpoint at a vehicle upper side relative to the buckle guide, cover-side engagement portions of the buckle cover become sandwiched between vehicle lower side surfaces of guide-side engagement portions of the buckle guide, and the outside surfaces of guide long-side wall portions of the buckle guide. Due to this, not only movement of the cover-side engagement portions of the buckle cover in the vehicle upward direction but also movement of the cover-side engagement portions outwards in the thickness directions of the cross-sectional shapes of the buckle cover and the buckle guide are restrained by the guide-side engagement portions.
