Abstract

An elastic link comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve. The first sleeve comprises a first elastic body, a first inner armature surrounded by the first elastic body, and a first outer armature surrounding the first elastic body. The second sleeve comprises a second elastic body, a second inner armature surrounded by the second elastic body, and a second outer armature surrounding the second elastic body. The first elastic body and the second elastic body presenting different elastic behaviors. This constitutes an improved elastic link.

Abstract

Provided is a radical-curable sealing member for fuel cells that has excellent product durability and suppresses changes in mechanical characteristics caused by heat and hydrolysis (such as reduced stretch and increased hardness caused by embrittlement). A sealing member 4 is a crosslinked product of a radical-curable composition that contains components (A)–(E), there being 0.1–10 parts by mass of component (B) per 100 parts by mass of component (A). (A) A polymer for fuel cell sealing members that has a radical-curable functional group and also has at least one of a urethane linkage and an ester linkage in the molecular chain thereof. (B) A carbodiimide compound that has at least one functional group selected from the group that consists of ether groups, aliphatic hydrocarbon groups that have at least 3 carbons, and alicyclic hydrocarbon groups. (C) A monofunctional (meth)acrylic monomer. (D) A polyfunctional (meth)acrylic monomer. (E) A radical polymerization initiator.

Abstract

This provision system comprises: a presentation unit that indicates to a user that if a sensor, which has a contact surface and measures a physical quantity indicating the degree of change in a surface contacted by the contact surface, comes into contact with the body surface of the user, said contact will be used as a condition that the user allows provision of the physical quantity to a third person other than the user; an estimation unit that estimates the state of contact between the sensor and the body surface on the basis of the physical quantity; and a provision unit that starts to provide the third person with the physical quantity on the basis of the result of estimating the contact state by the estimation unit.
