Abstract:
This invention provides a rubber composition and an electromagnetic wave absorbing sheet that can realize excellent electromagnetic wave absorbance properties while only having a small thickness and is also excellent in flexibility. The rubber composition comprises 100 parts by weight of a rubber component such as natural rubber and 300 to 1500 parts by weight, preferably 500 to 1000 parts by weight, of carbonyl iron. The incorporation of a predetermined amount of carbonyl iron in the rubber component can realize excellent electromagnetic wave absorbance properties, whereby the thickness of the electromagnetic wave absorbing sheet for providing a necessary electromagnetic wave absorbance amount can be reduced. The rubber composition comprising carbonyl iron incorporated together with the rubber component has low hardness, and is also excellent in flexibility. Accordingly, the rubber composition has good processability, is less likely to break, and is also excellent in durability. The rubber component may contain not less than 5 parts by weight of a weather-resistant rubber in 100 parts by weight of the rubber component and further may contain 1 to 10 parts by weight of carbon black.

Abstract:
In the field of depositing a metal film for wiring purposes on a substrate by means of single-substrate processing CVD, a procedure for depositing a copper film on a substrate is carried out by utilizing a first CVD module in which film deposition is carried out under first film deposition conditions where the film deposition rate is low and the filling characteristics are good, and a second CVD module in which film deposition is carried out under second film deposition conditions where the film deposition rate is high and the filling characteristics are poor. One CVD film deposition process in which a metal film for wiring purposes is deposited is carried out with sub-processes based on two different sets of film deposition conditions.
Abstract:
In a gas sensor which uses CuO as a p-type semiconductor, by adding Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 in excess of 1 wt % relative to CuO, sensitivity to gases such as H.sub.2, NO, NO.sub.2 and SO.sub.2 is suppressed, whereby selectivity for CO is increased. Sensitivity to CO.sub.2 can also be obtained. In addition, by adding a sodium salt of tungstic acid or molybdic acid, CO.sub.2 sensitivity can be made lower than the CO sensitivity, and CO gas in the exhaust gases discharged from gas-fired water heaters or other combustion equipment can be selectively detected. It is therefore possible to detect incomplete combustion.
Abstract:
A method for the desulfurization of hydrocarbons by desulfurizing unsaturated hydrocarbons or hydrocarbon materials containing unsaturated hydrocarbons, in the presence or absence of hydrogen, using a copper-zinc desulfurizing agent prepared by the co-precipitation method. By this method, the sulfur content of the hydrocarbons can be reduced while suppressing hydrogenation of the unsaturated hydrocarbons.

C. A neutron absorbent and an oxidation resistant carbon material both including the composite material are also provided.
Abstract:
A novel process for desulfurizing and steam reforming sulfur-containing hydrocarbons is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of (a) desulfurizing the sulfur-containing hydrocarbon to a sulfur content of 5 ppb or less by use of a desulfurization agent, (b) reforming the desulfurized hydrocarbon at low temperature in an adiabatic reactor by use of steam, and (c) reforming the resultant gas reformed in the course of step (b) at high temperature in an external-heating reformer furnance.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording and reproducing head unit which includes a tape guide unit including a set of spaced two tape guide substrates, a spacer provided between the tape guide substrates so as to dispose the two tape guide substrates through a predetermined distance in an approximately parallel relationship to each other, and guide poles for guiding the surface of a magnetic tape, arranged to extend through front portions of the tape guide substrates in a direction generally perpendicular to surfaces of the tape guide substrates, and a plurality of magnetic heads fixed, in a state where their postures are adjusted, to the tape guide unit.
Abstract:
A single crystal pulling apparatus (1) has a quartz crucible (2) for accommodating silicon melt (3), a graphite crucible (4) for retaining the quartz crucible (2), a tray (5) for securing and holding the graphite crucible (4) from below, and a crucible rotating shaft (6) for supporting the tray (5) from below and for elevating and lowering the tray (5) and the crucibles (2), (4) while rotating them. A low heat conductive member (10) is interposed on a joint surface between the tray (5) and the crucible rotating shaft (6). The low heat conductive member (10) is formed in a substantially tubular shape, and is interposed in such a manner that a protruding portion of the crucible rotating shaft (6) is inserted through a center hole of the low heat conductive member (10). Thereby, a gap portion (11) is formed below a bottom portion of the tray (5).
