Abstract: A lighting device includes a light source unit that outputs light, an elongated light guide including a first end surface on which the light is incident, a second end surface located opposite to the first end surface, an emitting surface, and at least one held portion provided on at least one of the longitudinal side surfaces different from the emitting surface, the light guide guiding the light from the first end surface to the second end surface, and a housing including an attachment portion to which the light source unit is attached, a housing portion that is open at an end portion on the attachment portion side and includes a housing recess to house the light guide and an exposure opening exposing the emitting surface, and a holding portion that holds the light guide in the housing recess by sandwiching the at least one held portion.

Abstract: A balloon catheter includes a shaft having a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion located on a proximal side of the first shaft portion, and a balloon covering and joined to the second shaft portion. The first shaft portion is more flexible than the second shaft portion and has a length in an axial direction of 1.5 cm or more.

Abstract: An anti-communications fraud apparatus 1 includes: an analysis unit 13 that analyzes a voiceprint of a communication voice of a calling party; a determination unit 14 that acquires, from a database 17 in which the voiceprint and a degree of fraud risk are stored in association with each other, the degree of fraud risk corresponding to the voiceprint of the calling party, and determines whether the degree of fraud risk exceeds a predetermined threshold; and a notification unit 15 that notifies that the calling party is dangerous when the degree of fraud risk exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a biodegradable resin expanded sheet, by which a biodegradable resin expanded sheet immediately after extrusion is brought into a predetermined cooled state in an extrusion expansion method, whereby good formability can be exerted.

Abstract: The present invention provides a laminated expanded sheet excellent in strength and formability. More specifically, the present invention relates to a laminated expanded sheet comprising a laminate of a resin expanded layer and a resin non-expanded layer, wherein the resin expanded layer is provided as an outermost layer, the laminated expanded sheet has a bending strength of 5 MPa or more, and an arithmetic average roughness of a surface formed of the resin expanded layer is 3 ?m or more and 10 ?m or less.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polylactic acid resin expanded sheet useful for forming a resin molded article that can easily retain a predetermined shape. More specifically, the present invention provides a polylactic acid resin expanded sheet including a crystal nucleating agent and a crystallization accelerator at a predetermined ratio, which is prepared so that a crystallization degree becomes the predetermined state.

Abstract: A hot-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention has a predetermined chemical composition, in which, when a height profile of a surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet is measured in each of five measurement ranges in a rolling direction and a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction, a distance in a height direction from an average height position which is an average of a height position of a point having a highest height position and a height position of a recessed part which is a point having a lowest height position to the recessed part is indicated as R1 (?m) in each of the height profiles, and an average of heights of two measurement points away from the recessed part in the rolling direction or the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction by 5 ?m is indicated as R2 (?m), an average value of radii of curvature r represented by Expression (1) is 10 ?m or more, and a tensile strength of the hot-rolled steel sheet is 500 MPa or more. r=(25+|R2?R1|2)/2|R2?R1| . . .

Abstract: A medical multi-lumen tube includes a plurality of inner layer tubes and an outer layer tube covering the plurality of inner layer tubes. The outer layer tube has a first region and a second region placed in the axial direction of the outer layer tube and formed of resins having properties different from each other, and the resin of one of the regions enters the other region, so as to form a wave pattern in a joint part between the first region and the second region.
