Abstract:
A ball valve and a method for fabricating this ball valve wherein a ball seat, formed of a synthetic resin, is mounted at each end of a flow passage in a ball of the valve. A sealing end portion of the ball seat contacts the spherical surface of the ball only in the closed position of the ball. In the open position, the lip falls within a recess surrounding the end of the flow passage in the ball. A gap of 0.3 to 0.7 mm is formed, in the open position, between the wall surface of the recess and the end of the lip. The end of the lip should fall, in the open position of the ball, about 0.2 mm inside an imaginary continuation of the surface of the ball at the recess.
Abstract:
A ball valve is provided which comprises a valve body formed from a tubular member with a cylindrical hole extending therethrough, a stem having one end thereof projecting into the hole, and a ball fixed to an end of the stem. The ball has a circular bore extending diametrically therethrough, wherein the ball is spherical in shape with removed chordal segments corresponding to the bore. A seat carrier is inserted in the hole, the seat carrier having one end adjacent the ball, a connecting sleeve contacts the seat carrier at the other end thereof opposite the end adjacent the ball, and a union nut couples the connecting sleeve to the valve body. Diametrically opposed projections are provided on the inner surface of the valve body, the projections extending into the hole, recesses formed on the side of the seat carrier adjacent the one end thereof, and diametrically opposed grooves are formed in the side of the seat carrier adjacent the recesses. The grooves extend in the circumferential direction from the adjacent recesses. When the seat carrier is inserted into the valve body and rotated therein, the projections on the valve body engage the grooves in the seat carrier to thereby hold the seat carrier in the valve body. Further, a flange is formed on the other end of the seat carrier wherein one of the flange and valve body includes at least one projection and the other of the flange and valve body includes at least one cavity. The projection is engaged in the cavity to prevent the rotation of the seat carrier with respect to the valve body.

Abstract:
A coating composition has excellent application workability, facilitates thick coating, rarely causes cracks at an initial drying stage, and provides a dried film having excellent tensile properties and adhesiveness. The composition contains an aggregate and an emulsion with a polymer particle dispersed in an aqueous medium. The polymer particle includes 40% to 98% of a unit formed by polymerizing an alkyl(meth)acrylate monomer, the alkyl group having 4 to 14 carbon atoms, 0.1% to 5% of a unit formed by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, 1% to 20% of a unit formed by polymerizing a vinyl monomer having a cyano group, 1% to 20% of a unit formed by polymerizing a reaction product of a (meth)acrylic acid and a monofunctional epoxy compound, and 0% to 50% of a unit formed by copolymerizing at least one of the above monomers with another monomer.
Abstract:
A wireless communication apparatus is provided. The wireless communication apparatus includes: detection means that detects that there is another wireless communication apparatus around the wireless communication apparatus; comparison means that compares a first reference value managed in the wireless communication apparatus with a second reference value managed in the another wireless communication apparatus; means that corrects the first reference value based on the comparison result; and means that announces the first reference value to the another wireless communication apparatus. Frequencies are set such that a frequency of the wireless communication apparatus becomes same as a frequency of still another wireless communication apparatus to which a radio wave of the wireless communication apparatus does not reach but a radio wave of the another wireless communication apparatus reaches.
Abstract:
A mobile communication system determines a communication path to implement fast communication by multihop connection. A mobile communication system includes a mobile station, at least one relay station, and a base station and implements packet transmission from the mobile station to the base station through a communication path with an intermediary of at least one relay station or through a communication path without an intermediary of a relay station. The mobile communication system is provided with a communication path determiner for determining a communication path with a largest communication speed or a communication path satisfying a required line quality, based on interference levels of respective signals received at a relay station constituting a communication path between the transmitting station and the receiving station, and at the base station.
Abstract:
A semiconductor memory device comprises: a write circuit including a latch circuit configured by two inverters having a positive side power supply terminal supplied with a first voltage and a negative side power supply terminal supplied with a second voltage; and a write state machine controlling the first and second voltages. When writing data to a memory cell, the first voltage is changed to a second value that is lower than a first value. When writing data to a memory cell, the second voltage is changed to a third value that is lower than the second value. The write state machine lowers the second voltage to an intermediate value between the second value and the third value and, while maintaining this intermediate value, lowers the first voltage from the first value to the second value.
