摘要:
A holding and sealing material for a catalytic converter for disposition between a cylindrical catalyst carrier and a metal shell covering the outer periphery of the catalyst carrier. The holding and sealing material includes a fiber aggregate mainly formed of alumina-silica based ceramic fibers having a mullite crystal content of 10 wt % or less, and the fiber aggregate is subjected to a needle punch treatment. Owing to the improved holding and sealing material, a catalytic converter having excellent durability and assemblage and having extremely low pollution characteristics is provided.

The invention provides a muffler for an internal combustion engine having excellent durability (resistance to scattering) even when being exposed to a high-temperature exhaust gas and capable of maintaining a high sound absorption coefficient over a long period. Such a muffler comprises a metal tube provided with a plurality of small holes, an inorganic fiber sound-absorbing material arranged on the outer periphery thereof and a metal shell covering the outside of the sound-absorbing material, in which a scattering prevention member is disposed between the metal tube and the sound-absorbing material. The sound-absorbing material is a laminated structure of crystalline alumna fiber mat and glass fiber mat. As the scattering prevention member, there is used a stainless woven wire cloth, a woven fabric made from inorganic fiber and a metal roll.
摘要:
A toner for developing an electrostatic charge image is disclosed, which is formed by adding and mixing an external additive with toner particles having an average particle size of not larger than 9 .mu.m and comprising at least a colorant and a binder resin, wherein the external additive is fine particles having a particle size of 20 to 80 nm. There is also disclosed a process for preparing the toner which comprises adding external additives to the toner particles and mixing them, wherein the addition and mixing of said external additive are carried out under specific conditions.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine provided with a mechanically operated supercharger in kinematic connection with a crankshaft the engine. The engine is provided with a system for controlling the effect of supercharging, such as a by-pass control valve. A timer is provided for detecting a predetermined short period after the engine is switched to an acceleration condition from the preceding deceleration condition with a fuel-cut, or after a moderate acceleration has begun. The system for controlling the effect of the supercharging is so controlled that the effect of supercharging is weakened during that period.
摘要:
A union joint assembly comprising a union fitted around and end of one pipe, a nut fitted around an end of the other pipe and adapted to be screwed to the union for joining the ends of pipes, and a retaining means for retaining the union on said one pipe against axial displacement with respect to the one pipe. The retaining means comprises an annular recess opening to an axial central through-hole and an annular ridge projecing radially outwardly from the outer periphery of said one pipe and fitted in the recess.
摘要:
A holding and sealing material for disposal between a catalyst carrier and a metal shell covering the outer face of the catalyst carrier. The holding and sealing material includes an inorganic fiber mat subjected to needle punching producing needled holes having a density of 50-3,000 per 100 cm2 thereof and an organic filler included inside of the needled holes of the inorganic fiber mat. The holding and sealing mat material generates a surface pressure of 5-500 kPa when heated to 300-1,000° C. under the filling bulk density of 0.15-0.45 g/cm3. The holding and sealing mat material includes an organic component which is over 0 and not more than 2 weight % after being heated to 300-1,000° C.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus containing an image holding member, a contact-type charger for charging a surface of the image holding member, an exposure unit for forming an electrostatic latent image by exposing the charged surface of the image holding member, a developing unit for developing the electrostatic latent image with a spherical toner to obtain a toner image, and a transfer member for electrostatically transferring the toner image from the surface of the image holding member onto a transfer material. A number of toner particles remaining on the surface of the image holding member before passing through an abutting portion between the image holding member and the contact-type charger is in a range of 100 to 400 per unit area (mm2).
摘要:
An electrophotographic toner composition comprising (A) toner particles with an average particle diameter of 9 .mu.m or less comprising at least a binder resin and a colorant, and (B) an additive, wherein the additive is a fine metal oxide powder surface coated with at least one agent for imparting hydrophobic property selected from the group consisting of the following formulae (1), (2) and (3):R.sub.1 Si(X).sub.3R.sub.1 R.sub.2 Si(X).sub.2R.sub.1 R.sub.2 R.sub.3 Si(X).sub.1wherein R.sub.1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having a molecular weight of 113 or more, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 each represents hydrogen, an alkyl group or an allyl group, and X represents chlorine, an alkoxy group or an acetoxy group. The toner composition causes no impaction to a carrier and no adhesion of the toner particles to a photoreceptor, and can form stable, sufficient images for a long time.
摘要:
The invention provides a phenylalanine derivative having the structural formula: ##STR1## and salts thereof. The derivatives and salts are useful for promoting the absorption of medicaments such as insulin.
摘要:
An absorption promoter is disclosed which interacts with hydrophobic amino acid residues of polypeptide derivative medications and substantially increases the absorption of that medication administered orally or rectally. The promoter and medication can be compounded into unit dosages in capsule, tablet, or suppository form, or combined into elixir solutions, suspensions, etc. The absorption promoters are phenylalanine derivatives which may be prepared through conventional N-acylation techniques.
