The joint (20) includes a plurality of spot joints (21) and an adhesive joint (22). An adhesive has a storage modulus in the range of 100 MPa to 800 MPa and a loss factor of 0.2 or more at a temperature of 20° C. and an exciting force frequency of 60 Hz.

Abstract: A polyphenylene sulfide resin composition is obtained by mixing a polyphenylene sulfide resin (a), a fluororesin (b) and an organosilane compound (c). When a resin phase-separated structure of a molded product formed from the polyphenylene sulfide resin composition is observed by an electron microscope, the component (a) forms a continuous phase, the component (b) forms a primary dispersed phase having a number-average dispersion diameter of not greater than 1 ?m, and a secondary dispersed phase of the component (a) is included in the primary dispersed phase of the component (b).

Abstract: A method is provided for processing a silicon-based wire optical waveguide, by which an optical transmission loss of the silicon-based wire optical waveguide due to ion irradiation with high energy is suppressed, and an end portion of the silicon-based wire optical waveguide that is three-dimensionally curved in a self-aligning manner is obtained. According to the method a protective film is selectively formed on the silicon-based wire optical waveguide exclusive of the end portion of the silicon-based wire optical waveguide; and ions are implanted to the silicon-based wire optical waveguide in a particular direction, so as to curve the end portion of the silicon-based wire optical waveguide to the particular direction in a self-alignment manner.

Abstract: In a field emission device, the fundamental cause of spherical aberration in an emitted electron beam trajectory is eliminated or mitigated. An aberration suppressor electrode 31 is provided at a lower vertical position than an extraction gate electrode 13 so its opening inner peripheral edge 31e faces a position near an emitter tip 11tp. The vertical position of the opening inner peripheral edge 31e of the aberration suppressor electrode 31 is made lower than the vertical position of the emitter tip 11tp. An aberration suppressing voltage Vsp is applied to the aberration suppressor electrode 31 that is a lower voltage than the potential of the emitter 11 and controls equipotential lines near the emitter tip 11tp to make them parallel.

Abstract: A printing system, provided with a first administrating section for administrating the number of sheets remaining until the number of printed sheets reaches to a predetermined upper limit of the number of sheets, a second administrating subsection for administrating the number of reserved sheets being under a waiting condition for being printed and outputted in the printing section, and a judging section for comparing the total number of sheets of the number of reserved sheets and the number of scheduled sheets indicated in a printing permission request with the number of remaining sheets when receiving the printing permission request. The judging section judges from the comparison whether or not the printing requested by the printing permission request is to be permitted, and transmits the judgment result as the response to the printing permission request.
