  • Patent number: 5879410
    Abstract: A process for resin finishing textile containing cellulosic fiber comprises the steps of using a resin finishing agent chiefly containing a cellulose-reactive N-methylol compound having two or more functional groups and a reaction catalyst, mainly reacting only one functional group of the cellulose-reactive N-methylol compound with cellulose, water washing, again imparting reaction catalyst, drying, garment making, and heat treating. The process eliminates the conventional postcuring method drawbacks of loss of color fastness and discoloration owing to dye decomposition and formaldehyde increase by unreacted resin and residual reaction catalyst during long storage before heat treatment, and simultaneously achieves high crease-resistant property, shrink resistance, good feeling, excellent pleating property, and anti-puckering property.

  • Patent number: 5654622
    Abstract: A secondary battery is connected to a protecting circuit. The protecting circuit interrupts charging of the secondary battery when the battery voltage of the secondary battery reaches a first protecting voltage which is higher than a first voltage, the first voltage being the full charge voltage of the secondary battery. After constant current charging of the secondary battery, the secondary battery is charged until the battery voltage of the secondary battery becomes higher than the first protecting voltage for achieving rapid charging of the secondary battery. When the secondary battery is charged in this condition, the protecting voltage of the protecting circuit is changed over to a second protecting voltage which is higher than the first protecting voltage for this preventing the protecting circuit from operating.

  • Patent number: 4807536
    Abstract: A microprocessor-controlled system of aerial transport for industrial installations. This system is characterized by the combination of the following parts: (a) a main circuit, (b) a group of carts, (c) stations, (d) a group of points, (e) an ascent group, (f) identification readers, (g) control cards and (h) central unit, and, furthermore, the main circuit is composed of a structure of tracks and carrier columns, over which tracks the group of carts may travel; the carts are able to have access to the stations through the action of the points, and the central unit is based on a microcomputer which knows and controls the evolution of the system by directing its operation according to a predetermined programming, changeable at any time, and making decisions according to criteria with which it has been programmed, all of the operations being a function of the information which is supplied to the microcomputer by the control cards and the group of identification readers.

  • Patent number: 4231118
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a head and face protecting hood which includes a cover body having front and rear walls each being having an outer layer of a laminate of non-flammable polyvinyl chloride sheet and non-flammable fiber sheet and an inner layer of adiabatic non-woven fiber sheet which is adhered to only the edges of the outer layer of each of the front and rear walls so as to cover a whole head and face. An eye facing body is provided which is adhered to the front wall of the cover body and is made of a non-flammable transparent polyvinyl chloride layer. A mouthpiece facing the front wall of body may be also provided which is mounted on the front wall of the cover body and has a front composite layer, a rear composite layer and a poison absorption agent covered with an adiabatic fiber layer disposed therebetween.
