An image recording medium for recording image information by storing electric charges generated in response to exposure to an electromagnetic wave carrying the image information. The image recording medium includes: an electrode transparent to the electromagnetic wave; a recording-side photoconductive layer which contains a-Se as a main component, and generates electric charges when exposed to the electromagnetic wave; and a suppression layer which is arranged between the electrode and the recording-side photoconductive layer, and suppresses interfacial crystallization in the recording-side photoconductive layer. The suppression layer is made of an organic material which behaves as an insulator against electric charges having the opposite polarity to electric charges which move from the recording-side photoconductive layer to the electrode at the time of recording, and as a conductor of charges having the same polarity as the electric charges which move to the electrode.

A hybrid vehicle mode-switching control device for a hybrid vehicle controls that an output of an engine and/or motor in response to a mode-switch request. In a case of a difference between an actual transmission gear ratio and a target transmission gear ratio, a deficit with respect to the requested drive power occurs that causes discomfort to the driver. The drive power surplus or deficit caused by the transmission gear ratio deviation can eliminated by correcting of the motor torque and/or the engine torque by a correction amount necessary to eliminate the surplus or deficit of drive power. In this way, the lack of drive power due to the transmission ratio deviation and the driver's sense of discomfort can be eliminated.

In producing a catalyst used for synthesis of an unsaturated aldehyde and an unsaturated carboxylic acid by a gas-phase catalytic oxidation, there is used a step of packing an additive-containing catalyst precursor of the catalyst into a tubular reactor, passing a gas through the tubular reactor, and elevating, in this state, the temperature of the additive-containing catalyst precursor so that a temperature of the gas at an outlet of the catalyst precursor layer becomes higher than a temperature of the gas at an inlet of the catalyst precursor layer. The step makes possible easy and highly reproducible production of a high-performance catalyst which is small in the reduction in catalytic performance caused by, for example, the thermal decomposition of the additive contained in the catalyst precursor.

A liquid crystal display device includes light source sections 150, a light guide plate 130 guiding light of the light source sections from a side edge and including a light emitting surface, and a liquid crystal panel 200 including a lower polarizer 230 opposed to the light emitting surface. The lower polarizer has a transmission axis generally along a light guide azimuth in which the light guide plate guides the light. The light guide plate includes a polarization converting section 131 on at least one of the light emitting surface and a rear surface. The polarization converting section reflects light made incident from the light guide azimuth in a different traveling azimuth and further reflects the light reflected in the different traveling azimuth to bring the traveling azimuth closer to the light guide azimuth to thereby convert polarization of the light traveling from the light guide azimuth.

The invention concerns a system and a method of radio communication between a plurality of mobile units (6) and a stationary system (1, 3, 12, 14) comprising one or several transmitter units (3), wherein radio communication to one or several mobile units (6) is effected by broadcasting from one of said emitter units (3) on a first, public frequency. The stationary system further comprises a plurality of stationary receiver units (12), said units being connected to a central unit (1) via a common data communication network (14), radio communication from the mobile units (6) being effected by transmitting on a second, public frequency a burst of radio messages (25) that are receivable only by a small number of receiver units (12). From the receiver units (12) the messages are forwarded via the data communication network (14) to the central unit (1), which selects one of the forwarded messages and reads the data contained in the message. The system in accordance with the invention therefore does not require that designated communication paths be established with each communicating unit, and since only a small number of receiver units (12) receive each transmitted message, all messages may be transmitted on the same frequency. Alternative frequencies could however be utilised, for example when longer messages are to be transmitted.

A pattern forming method includes forming a resist pattern for lift off of a first film disposed on a surface side of a base, patterning the first film by dry etching using the resist pattern as a mask, depositing a second film after patterning, removing the resist pattern to remove a portion of the second film on the resist pattern, and etching the surface side of the base after removing the resist pattern. The etching includes dry-etching the surface side of the base using etching particles with a main incident angle of the etching particles to the surface side of the base being set in a range of 60° to 90° relative to a normal direction of the one surface of the base. The dry etching is performed while rotating the base about an axis substantially parallel with the normal direction.
