A touch sensor, including a transparent film substrate; a front electrode formed on one surface of the transparent film substrate; a front terminal formed on the surface of the transparent film substrate where the front electrode is formed, the front terminal being connected to the front electrode; a back electrode formed on the other surface of the transparent film substrate; and a back terminal formed on the surface of the transparent film substrate where the back electrode is formed, the back terminal being not overlapping with the front terminal in a plan view and being connected to the back electrode.

Compositions and methods for generating ClO.sub.2 gas are disclosed. A composition that includes a chlorite salt is activated by exposure to ultraviolet light. After an optional storage period, the composition is then exposed to moisture, resulting in the generation of ClO.sub.2 gas. Exemplary compositions include polymers in which the chlorite salt is dispersed. The polymers may be used to form films that can be used to package, e.g., food products, pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and/or laboratory devices. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light and moisture, the packaging releases controlled quantities of ClO.sub.2 gas, which may disinfect and/or deodorize the packaged device or product.

A sealing device has a waterproofing layer, a functional layer, and an adhesive layer coated on and at least partially covering the first major surface of the waterproofing layer opposite the side of the functional layer. Also, a method produces a sealing device, a method waterproofs a substrate, and the use of the sealing device seals lapped joints formed between overlapping portions of waterproofing membranes and patches breaches in waterproofing membranes.
