Abstract: A push button switch of the invention has base rubber having actuator portions, a resin molded portion attached to the base rubber, and a permeable film formed on the surface of the resin molded portion. More preferably, a flange portion of the film is disposed so as to avoid a region just above thick portions such as base plate supported portions of the base rubber. A push button switch capable of preventing peeling of coating or the like and intrusion of water can be therefore provided. A push button switch and a switching device which have satisfactory touch and can be thinned can be provided.

Abstract: A video signal of an interlaced scanning system having 525 scanning lines and a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz is converted to a video signal having 1050 scanning lines and a vertical scanning frequency of 120 Hz, for displaying an image by bidirectional scanning. A vertical synchronizing signal is subjected to offset processing by a ¼ horizontal scanning period when an odd field is started, thereby keeping interlaced relation between odd and even fields. The vertical synchronizing signal is subjected to offset processing by a ½ horizontal scanning period every frame, so that the scanning direction for each scanning line is reversed every frame.

Abstract: A titanium oxide film containing a dopant element formed on a silicon substrate by supplying a titanium compound for forming the titanium oxide film and a compound of a dopant element for a silicon semiconductor in a gaseous state to a surface of the silicon substrate heated to a predetermined temperature, wherein the concentration of the dopant element in the titanium oxide film becomes progressively higher from the surface of the titanium oxide film to the surface of the silicon substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aromatic liquid-crystalline polyester solution composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a solvent (A) and 0.

Abstract: An apparatus provides information for a driver and passengers in a vehicle. If it is estimated that driving load is high, the apparatus stops outputting information. If it is estimated that driving load has been changed from high to low, the apparatus reads information from a storage unit and outputs the read information. If it is estimated that driving load is high, the apparatus stops outputting information so that the driver and passengers may miss no information, and if it is estimated that driving load is low, the apparatus provides information for the driver and passengers so that they may surely catch the information.

Abstract: An image data transmitting device comprises a communication device and an information processing device. The communication device that transmits main image data stored in a storage medium to an external apparatus. The information processing device that deletes the main image data stored in the storage medium after the communication device transmits it. The information processing device produces reduced image data of the main image data and stores the reduced image data in the storage medium, or keeps reduced image data of the main image data stored in the storage medium. This makes it easy for the user to recognize the image after the main image data has been transmitted.

Abstract: An antifouling coating

Abstract: A plasma deposition device 1 comprises electrodes 13 mounted on an electrode substrate 11, gas induction holes 12 provided between said electrodes 13 for introducing material gas G to the interior, a deposition substrate 30 provided to oppose to said electrodes 13 from a predetermined distance d, and a power source 60 generating plasma from said material gas by providing energy thereto, wherein material gas G is resolved to active species R deposited on said deposition substrate 30, characterized in applying voltage to adjacent electrodes 13 so as to generate discharge DC.

Abstract: A portable terminal comprises a LCD display screen (2) located on a control surface of a case for displaying thereon information according to the communication mode; a main soft key (3) located below the LCD display screen (2) with which can be rotated in a direction towards or away from the display screen as well as can be pressed; and first auxiliary soft key (4A) and second auxiliary soft key (4B) located on the two sides of the main soft key (3) which can be pressed.
