Abstract: A vehicle air-conditioning apparatus has a duct that is configured to supply an air-conditioned air to a vehicle interior, and has a resinous base layer, and an infrared reflective layer formed on a surface of the resinous base layer facing a vehicle exterior to reflect an infrared ray.

Abstract: An insulator dash (20) installed on the interior side surface side of a dash panel (10), comprising a single sound absorbing layer (21) formed of a fiber assembly or a laminated assembly having light and soft skin layers (22,23,26,27,28) laminated on the surface of sound absorbing layer (21), wherein, since the reflected noise reflected from the inner surface of an instrument panel (40) is taken again from the front surface side into the sound absorbing layer (21) for sound absorption in addition to the sound absorbing and shielding performance of the insulator dash (20), the sound absorbing performance in the instrument panel (40) can be increased, whereby the weight can be reduced and a rise of sound pressure in the instrument panel (40) can be abolishing a conventional sound shielding layer so as to increase a silentness in a cabin.

Abstract: A pressure sensitive adhesive toner for use in electrostatic photography which consists essentially of porous aggregates. Each aggregate consists essentially of a cluster of a multiplicity of individual granules of pressure sensitive adhesive substance, each granule being encapsulated by a coating film of a film-forming material. Particles of an inorganic or organic pigment and/or a magnetic substance are contained within the aggregate in the interstices between the granules and deposited on the surfaces of the encapsulated granules. The toner aggregates are free from a tendency to cohere, cake and agglomerate to each other. The toner can be readily pressure fixed, using a low impression pressure, onto a surface bearing an electrostatic latent image without causing any contamination thereon, thereby forming a distinct visible image.
