The light reflection sheet (I) of the present invention comprises a sheet having a thickness of 0.4 to 2 mm and comprising a polycarbonate resin composition containing (B) titanium oxide, and the sheet has a light reflectance of 98% or more and a light transmittance of less than 1%. It is excellent in a flame retardancy and a reflection characteristic. Also, the light reflection sheet (II) of the present invention is prepared by providing a light-fast layer which cuts or absorbs a UV ray in a thickness of 0.5 to 20 μm on at least one face of a base sheet having a thickness of 0.4 to 2 mm and comprising a PC resin composition containing a combination of 85 to 60 mass % of (A) a PC base polymer and 15 to 40 mass % of (B) titanium oxide. It is less yellowed and less reduced in a reflection characteristic even after used for a long period of time. Further, the light reflection sheet (III) of the present invention is prepared by providing a light diffusion layer which diffuses and reflects light in a thickness of 0.5 to 20 μm on at least one face of the same base sheet as in the light reflection sheet (II). It is improved in a light diffusing and reflecting property and can form a liquid crystal image plane having less luminance unevenness when it is used as a direct under type liquid crystal back light.

A perpendicular medium is disclosed in which an isolation structure of an underlayer is formed using a simple method as in a conventional manufacturing process for a medium of continuous films. The method suppresses dispersion of alignment and reduced magnetic cluster size in a magnetic recording layer. The perpendicular medium exhibits high recording density owing to thin film thickness of the underlayer. A perpendicular magnetic recording medium includes at least an underlayer and a magnetic recording layer sequentially laminated on a nonmagnetic substrate. The underlayer consists of crystal grains and an amorphous grain boundary, and the crystal grain has a shape holding a relation (an area of a bottom region at an initial stage of growth)>(an area of a top region).

An article of sports footwear (10) comprises an upper part or casing (11) to partly surround the user's foot, and a sole (12), associated with the casing (11). The sole (12) comprises an internal insole (13) having, during use, an upper surface (13a) attached to the casing (11) and a lower surface (13b) to which at least an anti-slip support element (14), made of an at least partly soft material, is attached. The insole (13) has a plurality of stiffening elements (15) made of a harder material than that of the anti-slip element (14), and disposed in correspondence with the position of the sole (12) where the front bindings (19) and / or back bindings (20) of the skis act. The stiffening elements (15) are inserted in gaps and spaces present in the anti-slip element (14) so as to be disposed slightly retracted with respect to the at least one anti-slip support element (14) in a non-deformed condition of the latter, as for example when in use for walking, and being able to be disposed at least flush therewith in the deformed condition of the anti-slip element (14), for example when in use for skiing.

The present invention provides a friction plate having a friction surface formed by sticking an annular friction material to a substantially annular core plate and wherein the friction surface is provided with a first oil groove having an opening portion opened to an inner peripheral edge of the friction plate and an end terminating at a point between the inner peripheral edge and an outer peripheral edge, and a second oil groove having an opening portion opened to the outer peripheral edge of the friction plate and an end terminating at a point between the inner peripheral edge.

A method to impede the constitution of the area wherein the silicide film that is defying to form on a gate electrode. Form an element isolation film, and then a gate dielectric film in a P-channel and an N-channel transistor forming region respectively. Then form a semiconductor film that constructs part of a gate electrode over the P-Type and the N-Type element regions through the element isolation film. Implant a dopant into the region, including the part over the P-channel transistor forming region and form a P-Type gate region, and then implant a dopant into the region, including the part over the N-channel transistor forming region and form a N-Type gate region. At this time, form the region so part of the P-Type gate region and the N-Type gate region overlap. Then, form the silicide film that constructs the part of the gate electrode over the semiconductor film.

In one aspect, the disclosure provides methods of distinguishing a glycosaminoglycan from one or more other components in a sample by subjecting the sample to size-exclusion chromatography using a mobile phase having a pH of 6.8 or lower. A mobile phase having a pH of 6.8 or lower is found to improve the separation of glycosaminoglycans from proteins during size exclusion chromatography. In some embodiments, improved separation is due to the low pH of the mobile phase causing elution of less dispersed fractions of the protein and / or glycosaminoglycan. In some embodiments, the overlap between protein and / or glycosaminoglycan fractions is reduced.
