A multilayer film includes first and second layers containing an acrylic-based resin, and a polycarbonate resin layer located between the first and second layers and containing a polycarbonate-based resin. The multilayer film is transmissive to visible light. A first gravure print layer is located on a first main surface of the multilayer film, includes a first graphic layer, and is transmissive. A backer film contains a polycarbonate-based resin and is transmissive. The first graphic layer includes a first image at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional shape of a decorative film formed in the three-dimensional shape. A patterned layer includes a pattern patterned to allow visible light to pass through the first image at the predetermined position in the three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: A highly practical biomarker that is specific to esophageal cancer and minimally invasive is provided. hsa-miR-619-5p in urine, hsa-milt-1273f in urine, hsa-miR-3135b in urine, hsa-miR-4327 in urine, and hsa-miR-150-3p in urine were identified as esophageal cancer biomarkers. Esophageal cancer contraction is determined by using the expression level of these microRNAs as an index.

Abstract: A fan motor apparatus is provided, which includes a blade; a rotary shaft; a hub; a rotor integrally molded with the blade, the rotor being fixed to the rotary shaft; and a protection cover including: a lid portion covering a top surface of the rotor; and an intake port configured to take air into the lid portion.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible that, in a case where, while image capturing is carried out with use of one of two different image capturing devices, image capturing is carried out with use of the other, appearances of a moving image and a still image captured by the respective two different image capturing devices match each other. In a case where image capturing for capturing a still image of a subject is carried out with use of a second camera while image capturing for capturing a moving image of the subject is carried out with use of a first camera, the image capturing of the still image is carried out on the basis of a moving image capture parameter.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention prevents time lag from occurring after a shutter release user operation in the case of image capture in a dark place which involves light emission. A smartphone includes a camera, a smartphone light for illuminating a subject, and a control device.

Abstract: When a still image has been captured is determined within a display screen on which a moving image is displayed. A control device executes: a thumbnail displaying process for causing a thumbnail of a still image captured during capture of a moving image to be displayed at a predetermined position within a display screen; and a thumbnail moving process for moving this thumbnail.

Abstract: The invention provides a low-cost, efficient method for producing lithium titanate that is useful for applications in electric storage devices. The desired lithium titanate can be obtained by heating at least (1) titanium oxide having a BET single point specific surface area of 50 to 450 m2/g based on nitrogen adsorption and (2) a lithium compound. Preferably the titanium oxide and lithium compound are heated together with (3) a lithium titanate compound having the same crystal structure as the desired lithium titanate. Preferably these ingredients are dry-mixed before heating.
