A bonding washer for making electrical connection between two metal pieces that are to be mechanically fastened together. The washer, to be interposed between the two metal pieces, may be constructed so as to fasten to one of the pieces before the two pieces are joined. Teeth on the washer, positioned at right angles to the plane of the washer, are forced into each of the two metal pieces when the fastener is tightened, making electrical connection between the two metal pieces.

A chemical bond exists between the polymer film and the conductive substrate, and the polymer film includes repeating units as shown below: ##STR00001## wherein A is an antifouling molecule group; B is a sulfur-containing group or a nitrogen-containing group; R is a single bond or a first linking group; C is -L-E, wherein L is a second linking group, E is an enzyme unit; x and z are each independently 0 or an integer from 1 to 10000, and y is an integer from 1 to 10000; o is 0 or an integer from 1 to 50, and when o is an integer from 1 to 50, m and n are each independently 0 or an integer from 1 to 50.

An electric conduction component fixation structure includes: a fixed member which has electrically conductive properties and on which an electric conduction component is arranged; and a press member that presses and fixes the electric conduction component, which is arranged on the fixed member, to the fixed member, wherein the fixed member includes a pressed surface that is pressed when the electric conduction component is fixed by the press member, and the pressed surface is covered by a rustproof coating film having a plurality of metal flakes which are layered and a binder which joins the plurality of metal flakes.

A fabric-based item may have fabric with conductive strands and insulating strands. The conductive strands may form conductive signal paths and may be coupled to control circuitry. The conductive strands and insulating strands may be woven in a construction that allows multiple conductive strands to contact one another to form a low resistance signal path such as a power line, a data line, or a ground line. The fabric may have a two up and three down twill pattern, a two up and three down twill pattern, or other suitable pattern. The pattern may be selected so that groups of conductive weft strands or groups of conductive warp strands are in contact with one another. The conductive strands may have greater density than the insulating strands. For example, if the weft strands are conductive, the fabric may have a higher number of picks per inch than ends per inch.
