Abstract: Provided is a novel chalcogen-containing organic semiconductor compound having excellent carrier mobility. The compound is represented by Formula (1a) or (1b): [Chem. 1] where in Formulas (1a) and (1b), X represents S, O, or Se, and R1 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, a pyridyl group, a furyl group, a thienyl group, or a thiazolyl group.

Abstract: An electronic timepiece prevents the internal time from shifting because time information for correcting the internal time cannot be received. The electronic timepiece includes: a timekeeper; a receiver; an operating device; an automatic reception controller; a time adjuster; and a reception setter configured to selectively set a first automatic reception prohibition mode that prohibits operation of the automatic reception controller and is cancelled by a single operation of the operating device, and a second automatic reception prohibition mode that prohibits operation of the automatic reception controller and is cancelled by a specific operation of the operating device that is different from the operation that cancels the first automatic reception prohibition mode.

Abstract: An electronic timepiece includes a dial, an indicating hand shaft passing through the dial and to which an hour hand is attached, a planar antenna overlapping a 12-o'clock line, a winding stem overlapping a 3-o'clock line, a battery disposed in a region bordered by a 9-o'clock to 3-o'clock line and including the 6-o'clock position on the dial, and a first motor driving a second hand, a second motor driving a minute hand, and a third motor driving the hour hand. The planar antenna, the winding stem, the battery, the first motor, the second motor, and the third motor do not overlap one another in a plan view, and one of the first, second, and third motor is disposed between the planar antenna and the winding stem.

Abstract: A method of transporting single-cut sheets cut from a continuous sheet for absorbent articles includes transporting the sheets by bonding an upstream end of each sheet to an outer surface of a first rotating body by adhesive; and transporting the sheets by holding the sheets on an outer surface of a second rotating body rotating faster than the first body, the sheets being transported from the first body in a state in which the upstream end of each sheet is on the first body, a portion of each sheet on the second body sliding relative to the outer surface of the second body such that each sheet is transported at the peripheral speed of the first body, after the adhesive is separated and the upstream end moves to the second body, the second body transporting the sheets at the peripheral speed of the second body.

Abstract: An electronic timepiece has a display device that displays display information, a drive mechanism that drives the display device, a crown that can perform a rotary operation, and a control device that corrects the display information displayed on the display device by the rotary operation of the crown. The control device has a single correction mode and a continuous correction mode which are selected by the rotary operation of the crown. In the single correction mode, a single correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a single correction quantity. In the continuous correction mode, a continuous correction signal is output to the drive mechanism so that the display device is corrected as much as a continuous correction quantity. The continuous correction quantity is set depending on types of the display information to be corrected in the continuous correction mode.

Abstract: An electronic timepiece has a case; an annular antenna housed in the case; a time display unit that is disposed on the inside of the antenna, and includes a dial and hands that rotate on a center pivot; and a battery compartment housing a storage battery that feeds the antenna. The antenna is not superimposed with the storage battery held in the battery compartment when seen from the direction perpendicular to the dial.
