Abstract: A storage device includes a storage unit and connection units. The storage unit has routing circuits electrically networked with each other, each of the routing circuits being locally connected to a plurality of node modules, each of the node modules including a nonvolatile memory device and is configured to count a number of times write operations have been carried out with respect thereto and output the counted number. Each of the connection units is connected to one or more of the routing circuits, and configured to access each of the node modules through one or more of the routing circuits, in accordance with access requests from a client, and maintains, in each entry of a table, a key address of data written thereby and attributes of the data, the attributes including the number of times corresponding to a nonvolatile memory device into which the data have been written.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to improve a self-adhesion-type adhesive tape for banding branches, stems, vines, young shoots and the like of plants. A self-adhesion-type adhesive tape is produced, which comprises a tape-shaped backing and an adhesive agent applied onto one surface of the backing. An elastomer that constitutes the adhesive agent is prepared by mixing 10 to 80% by weight of a styrene-isoprene-styrene block polymer having a styrene content of 14 to 19% by weight inclusive with 20 to 90% by weight of a styrene-isoprene-styrene block polymer having a styrene content of 25 to 50% by weight inclusive. The self-adhesiveness retention property, i.e., such a property that, when parts of the adhesive agent on the self-adhesion-type adhesive tape are bounded to each other so as to form an A-shaped loop and a weight is suspended on the loop, the state of the suspension can be retained, is examined.

Abstract: A lens sheet capable of preventing reflection of extraneous light without decreasing extraneous light absorption, having extraneous light absorbers that can be readily formed by printing and are scarcely stained. The present invention also provides a rear projection screen including such a lens sheet. A rear projection screen has a Fresnel lens sheet and a lenticular lens sheet placed on the viewing side of the Fresnel lens sheet. The lenticular lens sheet has lenses formed on those portions of the light-emergent-side surface of the sheet-shaped substrate part through which light converged by other lenses pass, and extraneous light absorbers formed on those portions of the light-emergent-side surface of the sheet-shaped substrate part through which light converged by the other lenses does not pass. Each extraneous light absorber includes a black-colored binder resin and a number of light-diffusing particles subjected to coloring treatment, incorporated in the binder resin.
