Abstract: In a rolling bearing for a supercharger in which grease is enclosed in an annular space, and a non-contact sealing member for forming a gap with an inner ring is disposed in a locking groove disposed in an axial end portion of an outer ring, a locking portion of the sealing member on the side of the outer ring is covered with rubber, and the length of an opposed face of an inner-ring side end portion which is opposed to the inner ring across the gap is 0.8 mm or more in a section view which is in parallel to the axis. Alternatively, an area of the inner ring on an outer circumferential face which is opposed to an inner-ring side end face of the sealing member is formed to have a tapered shape in which the diameter is more increased as advancing from an axial end portion side to a middle side. According to these configurations, leakage of grease in the use under high-speed rotation can be prevented from occurring, and the life period of the rolling bearing is improved.

Abstract: To provide inexpensively a connector constructed of a steel pipe and bearing a tie function of a ladder-type sleeper for railway tracks, in a connector constructed of a steel pipe 1 used in the ladder-type sleeper for railway tracks integrated with longitudinal beams made of concrete and the connectors constructed of steel pipes 1 by feeding concrete, both end portions of the connector constructed of the steel pipe 1 are flattened in the horizontal direction and a corrosion resistant coating 4 is coated at portions of the connector constructed of the steel pipe 1 exposed to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for automatically editing audio signals by determining an editing section on a recording medium having the signals recorded thereon. A first editing point is searched for on the recording medium, and the location of that point is stored in a memory. A second editing point is searched for on the recording medium. The location of the first editing point is compared with that of the second editing point. One of the two locations is set as an in-point and the other location as an out-point in accordance with the result of the comparison. The editing section determined by the in- and out-points is displayed on a screen.

Abstract: The present invention comprises longitudinal beams provided on the underside of each of a pair of rails in the longitudinal direction of the rails and multiple connectors which mutually connect these longitudinal beams at designated spacings along the longitudinal direction. Because the ladder-type sleepers of the present invention have a structure wherein longitudinal beams are continuously positioned along the longitudinal direction of the rails, the bending stiffness of the track frame in the longitudinal direction increases, and the ballast pressure is reduced by improving the distribution of the train load. As a result, it is possible to reduce track irregularities resulting from the repeated burden of the train load.

Abstract: An optically inactive cyclobutanecarboxylic acid derivative of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1-14 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 is a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1-14 carbon atoms, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 independently represent hydrogen or fluorine atoms, as well as a liquid crystalline composition containing at least one such derivative.

Abstract: The p-terphenyl derivatives of the formula shown below are useful in preparing practical ferroelectric liquid crystalline compositions. The derivatives exhibit excellent chemical stability and display the chiral smectic C or smectic C phase over a wide temperature range. ##STR1## wherein each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is a straight or branched chain alkyl group having 1-18 carbon atoms; each of Y and Z is a single bond, O, COO or OCO; and any two of X.sub.1, X.sub.2, and X.sub.3 are fluorine atoms and the remainder is a hydrogen atom.

Abstract: New p-terphenyl derivatives useful as components for preparing practical ferroelectric liquid crystalline compositions and excellent in chemical stability, as well as liquid crystalline compositions containing at least one of the p-terphenyl derivatives.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal composition comprising a specific fluorophenyl compound (I) and a specific pyrimidine compound (II) and optionally a specific benzoate compound (III), which exhibits a high-speed response in room temperature and is useful for liquid crystal display devices of large capacity.
