Abstract: A printed wiring board includes a first conductor layer, a resin insulating layer having an opening, a second conductor layer including a seed layer and an electrolytic plating layer formed on the seed layer, and a via conductor including the seed and electrolytic plating layers and connecting the first and second conductor layers. The seed layer has a first portion on the surface of the insulating layer, a second portion on an inner wall surface in the opening of the insulating layer, and a third portion on a portion of the first conductor layer exposed by the opening of the insulating layer such that the first portion is thicker than the second and third portions, and the insulating layer includes resin and inorganic particles including first particles forming the inner wall surface and second particles embedded in the insulating layer and having shapes different from shapes of the first particles.

Abstract: A printed wiring board includes a first conductor layer, a resin insulating layer laminated on the first conductor layer and including resin material and inorganic particles, a second conductor layer formed on a first surface of the insulating layer such that the first conductor layer is facing a second surface of the insulating layer, and a via conductor formed in an opening extending through the insulating layer and connecting the first and second conductor layers. The insulating layer is formed such that the inorganic particles include first inorganic particles partially embedded in the resin and second inorganic particles completely embedded in the resin, the first inorganic particles have first portions protruding from the resin and second portions embedded in the resin respectively, and the first surface of the resin insulating layer includes a surface of the resin and surfaces of the first portions exposed from the surface of the resin.

Abstract: A knife of which the blade is brought into or out of a haft by revolving against the haft, having a locking system fixing the blade to the haft in usable condition by a hand, is provided with a function that not only bringing the blade into or out of the haft but also the action and the release of the locking system can be done only by one hand. The operation knob 11 is attached to a part of the blade 9 where a thumb of a hand holding the haft 2 can operate the operation knob 11. The action and the release of the locking system are determined in accordance with a direction of the force added to the operation knob 11 toward the direction of the blade 9 being brought into or out of the haft 2. The operation knob 11 is added force by a thumb of a hand holding the haft 2 toward the direction of the blade 9 being brought into or out of the haft 2.
