Abstract: A vehicular shock absorber to be mounted on a vehicular exterior side with respect to a vehicular interior component includes a low rigidity portion, a high rigidity portion having higher rigidity than the low rigidity portion, and a first connection portion. The low rigidity portion includes a first plate portion that has a first vehicular interior side surface, and a first mount portion that extends from the first vehicular interior side surface and is to be fixed to the vehicular interior component. The high rigidity portion includes a second plate portion that has a second vehicular interior side surface, and a second mount portion that extends from the second vehicular interior side surface and is to be fixed to the vehicular interior component. The first connection portion extends between and connects the first plate portion of the low rigidity portion and the second plate portion of the high rigidity portion.

Abstract: A recording medium transport and transfer belt includes at least a base material layer and a surface layer, in which a ratio (?s500/?v500) between surface resistivity ?s500 and volume resistivity ?v500 at an applied voltage of 500 V is 1.0 or more, and a difference (?s100??s500) between surface resistivity ?s100 at an applied voltage of 100 V and surface resistivity ?s500 at an applied voltage of 500 V is 0.3 or less.

Abstract: A transfer device includes an intermediate transfer belt that has an outer peripheral surface to which a toner image is to be transferred, a primary transfer device that has a primary transfer member performing primary transfer of a toner image formed on a surface of an image holder to the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer belt, and a secondary transfer device that has a secondary transfer belt arranged in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer belt and performing secondary transfer of the toner image transferred to the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate transfer belt to a surface of a recording medium, in which the intermediate transfer belt has an indentation modulus A of 5,000 MPa or more, and the secondary transfer belt has an indentation modulus B of 300 MPa or less and a tensile modulus C of 250 MPa or more.

Abstract: In an endless belt, the absolute value of an electrostatic capacitance C and the absolute value of an alternating-current resistance Z when an alternating voltage of 1 Vp-p is applied in a frequency range of from 10000 Hz to 0.1 mHz from a high frequency side satisfy Formula (1) below, and an alternating-current resistance Z0.63 when an alternating voltage of 1 Vp-p with a frequency of 0.63 Hz is applied satisfies Formula (2) below.

Abstract: The present invention provides a protective backing sheet for photovoltaic modules. The backing sheet has a layer including fluoropolymer which is cured on a substrate, and the layer includes a hydrophobic silica. The amount of hydrophobic silica contained in the layer is within the range of 2.5 to 15.0% by weight, and preferably in the range of 7.5 to 12.5%. Also, the layer including fluoropolymer may further include a titanium dioxide.

Abstract: A protective sheet for a solar cell module prepared by forming an acrylic urethane resin layer on one surface or both surfaces of a base sheet. The acrylic urethane resin layer is preferably formed on the opposite surface of the base sheet to the surface that contacts an encapsulant.
