A decrease in performance of an antenna is suppressed while maintaining metallic design by a metal vapor deposition layer in a cover with antenna function. A back cover includes cover member, a pictorial pattern layer, and a metasurface. The pictorial pattern layer is arranged in a layering direction with respect to the cover member and includes a metal vapor deposition layer. The metasurface is arranged side by side in the layering direction with the pictorial pattern layer. The metasurface amplifies an antenna signal.

A thin and durable detection unit for a shear force sensor is disclosed. The detection unit detects shear forces in a plurality of directions. A detection circuit is connected to a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer. First driving electrodes and second driving electrodes insulated from each other by first isolation trenches are formed in the first electrode layer. The second driving electrodes also serving as third driving electrodes and the first driving electrodes also serving as fourth driving electrodes insulated from each other by second isolation trenches are formed in the first electrode layer. First detection electrodes and second detection electrodes are formed in the second electrode layer.

A decorative sheet has a pattern formed with an interference pigment and is more versatile with reduced coloration specific to the interference pigment. A patterned layer has a pattern formed with an interference pigment to produce a color by interference of reflected light reflected after being incident as incident light on a front surface of the patterned layer. A front color-adjustment layer covers the front surface of the patterned layer and transmits the incident light, incident light, and the reflected light. A base film supports the patterned layer and the front color-adjustment layer. The front color-adjustment layer contains particles of a front absorbing pigment dispersed uniformly across the front color-adjustment layer. The front color-adjustment layer with the front absorbing pigment reduces a spectral component in a predetermined wavelength range of the incident light and the reflected light transmitted through the front color-adjustment layer.

An edible powder formed of particles smaller than a film thickness, a predetermined component, and an edible liquid having a mass 35% or less of a mass of the powder are kneaded to generate a plastic solid material containing a liquid. The solid material is extruded from a mold to plastically deform the solid material and a predetermined cross-sectional shape is imparted to the solid material. The solid material having the predetermined cross-sectional shape is sliced with a cutting edge so as to have a film shape having a predetermined thickness.

An endoscopic hood and an endoscope to which the endoscopic hood is attached improve visibility for the user. The endoscopic hood includes a body formed of a transparent cylinder having two open ends and a conductive film embedded integrally in the body. The conductive film includes a transparent film and a transparent electrode pattern on the transparent film. The transparent electrode pattern includes a transparent electrode, a transparent wire portion extending from the transparent electrode, and a transparent terminal at an end of the transparent wire portion. The transparent terminal is exposed from the body. The endoscope includes an insertion portion insertable into a body of a subject, the endoscopic hood attached to a distal end of the insertion portion, and at least one wire having one end electrically connected to the transparent terminal and another end electrically connected to an external device.

To extend the life of a MEMS gas sensor, the MEMS gas sensor includes an insulator, a gas sensitive material, a first oxide film and an interlayer insulating film, a heater wiring pattern, a lower protective film, and an upper protective film. The insulator includes a cavity. The gas sensitive material is provided corresponding to the cavity. The first oxide film and the interlayer insulating film are provided on the insulator and arranged to overlap each other in a plan view. The heater wiring pattern serves to heat the gas sensitive material and is disposed between the first oxide film and the interlayer insulating film. The lower protective film and the upper protective film cover, in direct contact, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side surface of the heater wiring pattern.

Disclosed is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having improved electron conductivity of an electrode and improved input and output characteristics. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode containing a lithium-containing transition metal composite oxide as an active material, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode contains titanium oxide particles that are particles of titanium oxide represented by general formula H 2 Ti 12 O 25 , a binder, and 0.3-5.0 weight percent of single wall carbon nanotubes with respect to the titanium oxide. The titanium oxide particles have a secondary particle size D50 of 1 to 15 μm and a secondary particle size D90 of 50 μm or less.

A tactile sensor-attached finger is mountable on a robotic hand to reduce damage and failure caused by a grip target coming in contact with a part of a finger member other than its palm surface.
