Abstract: To provide an article gripping system that reduces the installation area of the apparatus and further shortens the amount of time from when it grips to when it feeds articles. An article gripping system (110) switches between a first positional relationship in which a container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by a first gripping unit (15A) but does not obstruct discharge of articles by a second gripping unit (15B) and a second positional relationship in which the container (50) obstructs discharge of articles gripped by the second gripping unit (15B) but does not obstruct discharge of articles gripped by the first gripping unit (15A), so the gripping units do not move while they are holding the articles, and the articles can be prevented from falling out of the gripping units (15).

Abstract: The first water repellent agent composition contains amino-modified silicone, a silicone resin, and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound. The second water repellent agent composition comprising dimethylpolysiloxane having a hydroxyl group and/or an alkoxy group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, an amino group-containing silane coupling agent, a silicone resin, and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound.

Abstract: A water repellent agent composition contains amino-modified silicone, a silicone resin, and alkylpolysiloxane. An amount of the alkylpolysiloxane mixed is 500 to 15,000 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of an amount of the amino-modified silicone mixed. A method for producing a water-repellent textile product includes a step of treating fibers with a treatment liquid including the water repellent agent composition.

Abstract: In a processing apparatus including a diaphragm valve provided on a process gas discharge line for discharging a process gas from a processing chamber and configured to control the internal pressure of the processing chamber by adjusting the opening of the diaphragm valve, an antistatic agent source is connected to the process gas discharge line at a position upstream of the diaphragm valve. Damage of a diaphragm valve element due to spark discharge resulted from electric charge generated by friction between the gas flowing through the diaphragm valve and the diaphragm valve element can be prevented.
