Abstract: A toner for use in electrophotography comprising thermoplastic resin core particles (A) or colorant-embedded thermoplastic resin core particles (A') each having an average particale size of 1 to 15 .mu.m, a charge-controlling agent (B) and carrier particles (C) having an average particle size of 0.05 to 2.0 .mu.m, the charge-controlling agnet (B) being carried on the carrier particles (C), and the carrier particles (C) with the agent (B) carried thereon being embedded in the surfaces of the resin core particles (A) or the colorant-embedded resin core particles (A').

Abstract: An anode comprising an electroconductive substrate provided with a (Ru-Sn)O.sub.2 solid solution coating is useful in brine electrolysis. The improved coating has a composition of (i) 3 to 45 mol % of ruthenium oxide, (ii) 0.1 to 30 mol % of at least one member selected from metallic platinum, platinum oxide, and iridium oxide, and (iii) 50 to 96.9 mol % of tin oxide which may be partially replaced by antimony.

Abstract: A baseball or softball shoe with its sole having a plurality of individual spikes which limitedly penetrate into the ground to the optimum depth to enhance the player's ability to run fast. A plurality of projections are formed with the sole adjacent to its periphery in forefoot and heel regions of the sole. The forefoot region is also provided with a plurality of second projections integral with the sole in the inside of the spikes.

Abstract: An insole for a sports shoe comprises an insole body of foam synthetic resin having recesses formed therein at the forefoot and heel areas. Corresponding pieces are of material having higher durometer hardness than that of the insole body and inserted in the recesses to provide good properties required for various kinds of sports.

Abstract: A mid-sole comprises a sole body of resilient foam material and a horseshoe-shaped rigid synthetic resin plate placed on the upper surface of the heel section of the sole body along the periphery thereof. At least one leg extends downwardly from the underside of the plate adjacent the inside portion of the heel section over its thickness to prevent the inner portion from inclining inwardly when a load is imposed on the inner portion of the heel section.

Abstract: An electrode for electrolysis having a coating which consists esentially of 40 to 90 mole % of palladium oxide, 0.1 to 20 mole % of platinum, and 5 to 50 mole % of (Ru.sub.x Ti.sub.1-x)O.sub.2 wherein x ranges from 0.05 to 0.5, based on the total molar composition.The electrode of the present invention has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical resistance against foams generated during electrocatalysis.
