Abstract: A temporary adhesive having excellent spin coating properties of a circuit side of a wafer and a support, and excellent heat resistance when the circuit side of the wafer or the support is attached to an adhesion layer or a rear surface of the wafer is processed, and is capable of easily separating the circuit side of the wafer from the support after polishing the rear surface of the wafer, and simply removing a adhesive attached to the wafer or the support after the separation. The adhesive contains a component (A) to be cured by a hydrosilylation reaction, and a component (B) containing an epoxy-modified polyorganosiloxane at a ratio in % by mass of the component (A) to the component (B) of 99.995:0.005 to 30:70. The component (B) is an epoxy-modified polyorganosiloxane having an epoxy value of 0.1 to 5.

Abstract: An ultrasound treatment tool includes: an ultrasound transducer configured to generate ultrasound vibration; a vibration transmission portion configured to transmit the ultrasound vibration; and a fastener that includes a first fastening portion screwed with the ultrasound transducer and a second fastening portion screwed with the vibration transmission portion, the fastener being configure to connect the ultrasound transducer and the vibration transmission portion. The fastener is configured with a material that has a higher strength than a proximal end portion of the vibration transmission portion, the proximal end portion being screwed with the second fastening portion.

Abstract: A fastener includes: a main body including a first fastening portion configured to be screwed together with a ultrasound transducer configured to generate ultrasound vibration, and a second fastening portion configured to be screwed together with a vibration transmission portion configured to transmit the ultrasound vibration, the main body being configure to connect the ultrasound transducer and the vibration transmission portion; and a rupture portion configured to be ruptured as a result of a specific torque being applied when the first fastening portion is screwed together with the ultrasound transducer or when the second fastening portion is screwed together with the vibration transmission portion.

Abstract: A cathode for Li—S battery includes a current collector and a cathode composite layer disposed on the current collector. The cathode composite layer includes (i) a porous carbon layer, (ii) a first binder that is at least partially in contact with the porous carbon layer and (iii) elemental sulfur. A second binder is at least partially disposed between the current collector and the cathode composite layer. A Li—S battery also is contemplated, as are methods of fabricating the cathode and the battery.

Abstract: A drawn portion having a shape protruding from a side face to a space inside a housing is provided at an end to which a rear surface cover is fastened of the side face. On a side to which the rear surface cover is fastened of the drawn portion, a bent portion having a shape bent toward a space outside the housing is provided. A screw receiving portion including a screw hole includes a first receiving surface, which is a flat surface portion on an end of the bent portion, and a second receiving surface having a shape protruding from a base of the bent portion.
