  • Publication number: 20240091597
    Abstract: To improve repulsion performance when a ball is hit by a racket. Grommets each include a strip-shaped portion and a cylinder portion protruding from one surface of the strip-shaped portion. The cylinder portion includes a plurality of ribs extending along an extending direction of a central axis of a cylinder main body. The plurality of ribs is constituted of first ribs protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder main body toward both sides in the extending direction of the strip-shaped portion, and second ribs protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder main body toward both sides in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the strip-shaped portion. Two or more of the first ribs are formed on each of the both sides in the extending direction of the strip-shaped portion, and one or more of the second ribs are formed on each of the both sides in the direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the strip-shaped portion.

  • Patent number: 11885680
    Abstract: A spectral device is provided with: a filter having a property of transmitting light of multiple wavelength ranges from a measurement object; a driving means to slide the filter; and a detector to detect an intensity of the light from the measurement object, the light having passed through the filter, the detector to further measure the intensity of the light multiple times sequentially while the driving means slides the filter and thereby obtain multiple pieces of measured data to be used for a calculation of spectral information.

  • Patent number: 8113354
    Abstract: A problem of the invention is to provide a method which targets on polyethylene terephthalate-made bottle scraps composed mainly of polyethylene and/or polypropylene, polystyrene and a polyester and which is able to treat continuously a large amount of the polyester component with a high purity and sort and recover it in a high recovery. The problem of the invention can be solved by a separation method of waste plastics, which is characterized by forming previously a crushed plastic into a water slurry, feeding the water slurry in a fixed rate range such that a swirling flow is generated within a cylindrical tank and that water rises in a fixed rate range and recovering a polyester with a high specific gravity as a precipitated component within the cylindrical tank and a plastic with a low specific gravity as an overflow component from the top of the cylindrical tank, respectively.
