Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a non-woven fiber fabric by spinning a molten polymer. Thus, a non-woven fiber fabric which is substantially free from a solvent, different from the case of spinning a polymer solution, but yet has an extremely small fiber size (diameter of 0.5 ?m or less) is provided. The non-woven fiber fabric comprises an olefin-based thermoplastic resin fiber, said fiber having an average fiber size of 0.01-0.5 ?m, and said non-woven fiber fabric having an average pore size of 0.01-10.0 ?m and being free from a solvent component.

Abstract: A spacer (1) is injection molded by using an injection molding die having resin flow channels that are designed such that a plurality of gates (6) are arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of a side wall part (4) in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface parts (2) are connected through a waist part (3). After opening the mold and ejecting the spacer, the spacer is cooled with a runner (7) being connected to the gate (6), and thereafter, the runner (7) is cut off. As a result, when producing a water jacket spacer that is assembled to the inside of the water jacket and controls the flow of cooling water by injection molding, while producing with a high productivity without being affected by design constraints caused by draft angle, deformation in the post-molding cooling step is prevented.

In ST108, the frequency database apparatus decides whether or not application A and application B are available on the basis of the “arbitrated WS channel use request and location information” and “priority ranking information according to use”. In ST109, the frequency database apparatus updates application A database information and application B database information on the basis of the decision result.

The self-sealing structure is formed through machining an inner peripheral wall surface of the cage or an outer peripheral wall surface of the valve plug.

Abstract: The disclosure discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a print data processing program for executing steps comprising a primary print data acquiring step, a secondary print data generating step, a cut command generating step, and a data and command outputting step. In the primary print data acquiring step, primary print data is acquired. The primary print data includes a first dot pattern indicating desired print contents, and a second dot pattern indicating a cutting movement timing. In the secondary print data generating step, the first dot pattern has been extracted and then second print data is newly generated. In the cut command generating step, a cut command corresponding to the cutting movement timing indicated by the second dot pattern is generated. In the data and command outputting step, the cut command is added to the second print data and outputted to a label producing part.

Abstract: Provided is a low-cost, highly active, environmentally friendly living radical polymerization method which does not require a radical initiator. Even if a catalyst is not used, a living radical polymerization method can be conducted by controlling the amount of the oxygen in the gaseous phase in the reaction vessel within a suitable range. A monomer having a radical-reactive unsaturated bond can be subjected to a radical polymerization reaction to obtain a polymer having narrow molecular weight distribution. The cost of the living radical polymerization can be remarkably reduced. The present invention eliminates the disadvantages of the conventional catalysts such as toxicity, low solubility, coloring/odor and the like, and is significantly more environmentally friendly and economically efficient than conventional living radical polymerization methods.
