Abstract: A tape cassette includes a tape, a transparent cover film, and an ink ribbon. The tape has a thickness in a thickness direction and a width in a width direction. The tape is configured of a plurality of laminated layers including: a transparent base layer; a background layer having a width smaller than the width of the tape in the width direction; and a release layer constituting one surface of the tape in the thickness direction. The transparent cover film is to be bonded to the tape. The ink ribbon contains ink to be transferred to one of the tape and the cover film.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses an adhesive tape cartridge includes an adhesive tape roll with a double-sided adhesive tape wound around. The double-sided adhesive tape has, in cross section, a transparent or semitransparent film layer, a first adhesive layer, a second adhesive layer, a separation material layer, and a pigment. The first adhesive layer is disposed on one surface of the film layer. The second adhesive layer is disposed on an opposite surface of the film layer. The separation material layer is disposed on one surface of the second adhesive layer. The pigment is added to at least one of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer.

Abstract: There is provided a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which includes a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by using any of different types of adhesive samples. Thereby the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is adjusted so as to satisfy conditions that, slow peel strength when a printing tape made of a PET film is peeled off from the substrate film of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape by 5 mm at peel rate of 0.5 mm/minute is 0.45 N/20 mm or higher and storage modulus of the adhesive layer is in a range from 90.7 kPa to 435 kPa. By improving adhesiveness to the printing tape under environmental temperature from a low temperature to a normal temperature, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive layer renders the printing tape less apt to peel off.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating apparatus includes a body having a powder-accommodating chamber which accommodates a powder of the material particles, and an introducing port via which the carrier gas is introduced into the powder-accommodating chamber; a powder flow passage which has an inlet opening and an outlet opening both of which are open in the powder-accommodating chamber, the inlet opening being positioned at a position lower than that of the outlet opening in a vertical direction; and a transport mechanism which transports the powder in a direction directed from the inlet opening to the outlet opening of the powder flow passage. Accordingly, the aerosol-generating apparatus is provided, which makes it possible to stably produce the aerosol over a long period of time by appropriately reducing the aggregation of the material particles accommodated in the powder-accommodating chamber.

Abstract: A method for producing a piezoelectric actuator having a diffusion-preventive layer and a piezoelectric layer stacked on a vibration plate includes providing the vibration plate having a surface on which a groove is formed; and blowing an aerosol containing ceramics particles toward an area, on the surface of the vibration plate, in which the groove is formed from a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction by using an aerosol deposition method to form the diffusion-preventive layer on the vibration plate. The aerosol is blown toward the vibration plate in the first and second directions. Therefore, the material particles contained in the aerosol can be collided with the inner walls of the groove formed on the vibration plate as well, and thus the diffusion-preventive layer can be formed on the vibration plate without causing any unevenness.
