  • Publication number: 20030207109
    Abstract: There is disclosed an acrylic fiber (a) consisting of an acrylonitrile polymer comprising an acrylonitrile unit in at least 80 wt % and less than 95 wt %, (b) having a monofilament dry strength of 2.5 to 4.0 cN/dtex, (c) having a monofilament dry elongation of 35 to 50%, and (d) forming a crack with a length of 20 &mgr;m or more in its tension rupture lateral surface along the filament axis direction when rupturing the monofilament in a tension test. The fiber has even orientation in its surface and inside; is significantly improved in dry strength, dry elongation and dyeability; and exhibits wool-like hand feeling. It is, therefore, quite suitable as a synthetic fiber for various applications such as a garment material, e.g., a sweater and a home furnishing material such as a pile.

  • Patent number: 6641915
    Abstract: There is disclosed an acrylonitrile fiber bundle for a carbon fiber precursor with a total denier of 30,000 or more consisting of an acrylonitrile polymer comprising 95 wt % or more of an acrylonitrile unit, wherein the surface of filaments composing of the fiber bundle has 2 to 15 corrugation with a height of 0.5 to 1.0 &mgr;m which are substantially continuous in a longitudinal direction and an iodine adsorption per a fiber weight of the fiber bundle is 0.5 to 1.5 wt %. The fiber bundle shows a large total size, a small drying load owing to its good denseness and a good convergence so that it is suitably used as precursors for carbon fibers.

  • Patent number: 6580707
    Abstract: The present invention aims at implementing acceleration of the hop-by-hop transfer without using a high-speed processor. In the present invention, a transfer destination searching circuit (12) constituted by hardware is provided in addition to a processor (11). In the transfer destination searching circuit (12), after header information has been extracted from received IP packet data, a content addressable memory (21) is first searched by using the header information as a key. If corresponding forwarding information cannot be obtained from the searching of the content addressable memory (21), HASH function searching is executed by employing an HASH searching pointer table (22). If the forwarding information is obtained from a forwarding table (23) as a result of these searching operations, the hop-by-hop transfer of the IP packet data is executed in accordance with the forwarding information.

  • Patent number: 6569523
    Abstract: The carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle of the present invention is an acrylonitrile-based fiber bundle wherein the ratio of the length and width of the fiber cross section of a monofilament (length/width) is 1.05 to 1.6, and the amount of Si measured by ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) atomic emission spectrometry is in the range of 500 to 4,000 ppm. This type of carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle has a high compactness, and the carbonizing processing ability is good. Furthermore, for the carbon fiber bundle which is to obtained hereafter, the resin impregnating ability and tow spreading ability are good, the strength increases, and it has bulkiness. Furthermore, the carbon fiber precursor fiber bundle of the present invention is an acrylonitrile-based fiber bundle wherein the liquid content ratio HW is 40 wt. % or more and less than 60 wt. %.

  • Patent number: 6545611
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus with flexible structure for introducing external cables that controls signal transmission efficiently. A cable connector for introducing a cable from the outside is fixed on a sub-printed circuit board. A main printed circuit board has a guide rail along which the sub-printed circuit board can be inserted reversely to change the direction from which the cable is introduced at the time of the sub-printed circuit board being housed. An enclosure has ducts for bunching cables. Transmission units are mounted in the enclosure.
