Abstract:
The present invention relates to a biodegradable resin composition containing a resin component comprising polylactic acid and polybutylene terephthalate, and a powdered vegetable fiber component comprising corn starch, and relates to a method for producing the same. The present biodegradable resin composition contains the resin component (A) comprising 20 to 50 parts by weight of polylactic acid and 10 to 40 parts by weight of polybutylene terephthalate, and the powdered vegetable fiber component (B) comprising 10 to 70 parts by weight of corn starch, the total of the resin component (A) and the powdered vegetable fiber component (B) amounting to 100 parts by weight. The present biodegradable resin composition can be suitably used for producing a molded article.

Abstract:
An anode foil, a cathode foil and a separator therebetween are rolled up into a capacitor element, and driving electrolyte is impregnated into the capacitor element. The capacitor element is housed in a metal case 12, and its opening is sealed by a sealer 13. The metal case 12 is made of an alloy of aluminum and manganese. Since this alloy has the higher hardness than that of a conventional case, the case is hard to be deformed even the capacitor is left in a high temperature atmosphere.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for constructing an underground structure by having a plurality of serially adjoining cylindrical bodies propelled underground one after another either in one direction or from opposite directions. A thrusting/pulling jack advancing arrangement, thrusting jack and pulling jack advancing arrangements, connecting and traction members, fixing pieces and fasteners are used in combination to propel each cylindrical body one by one by virtue of a sum total of reaction forces developed at other cylindrical bodies and some additional reaction facility, if necessary.
Abstract:
A speed control device for moving objects which can quickly change the speed of said object from one speed to another selected speed without overshooting comprising means for generating a signal representing the difference between the actual speed and the desired speed and adding a constant bias to said difference signal if said signal exceeds a predetermined value so that said biased difference signal will actuate an actuating means to move the object more quickly toward the desired set speed and to use and integrate the unbiased difference signal when said difference signal is below said predetermined value, which integration can be used to send smaller signals to the actuating means as the moving object approaches the desired set speed so as to prevent overshooting.
Abstract:
Provided is a technology capable of improving the accuracy of determining a position of an own vehicle in the vicinity of a branch point, in a current position determining device. The current position determining device identifies a detection range according to states of a road on which a vehicle is traveling to detect a lane change, to thereby determine a current position of the vehicle based on information on the detected lane change.
