  • Publication number: 20240140363
    Abstract: A windscreen wiper blade includes a blade body, a blade rubber, and a yoke. The blade body includes first and second locks. The yoke is made of a metal plate and includes a first extension and a blade rubber retainer. The first extension has a fitting bead which the first lock engages. The blade rubber retainer extends from the first extension and retains the blade rubber. The yoke also includes second and third extensions. The second extension extends away from the blade rubber from an end of the first extension located away from the fitting bead. The third extension has a locking hole in which the second lock is fit and extends toward the blade rubber from an end of the second extension located away from the first extension. The yoke includes a burned portion defining a boundary between the second and third extension. The second and third extensions overlap.

  • Patent number: 9624561
    Abstract: A method for allowing production of high-purity perrhenic acid from crude rhenium sulfide by applying a dry process is provided. A method for producing an aqueous solution of perrhenic acid includes 1) a step for roasting rhenium sulfide under an oxygen-containing gas to collect gasified rhenium oxide; 2) a step for cooling and solidifying the gasified rhenium oxide while keeping sulfur oxide entrained in the gasified rhenium oxide a gaseous state, and subsequently performing solid-gas separation, thereby improving purity of rhenium oxide; and 3) a step for dissolving the solidified rhenium oxide into water, or heating and gasifying the solidified rhenium oxide and then dissolving the gasified rhenium oxide into water, to obtain the aqueous solution of perrhenic acid.

  • Publication number: 20120073405
    Abstract: The present invention provides a processing method for converting slag ejected from a converter in a copper smelting process to raw materials for iron manufacture. The processing method is for converter slag containing 1 mass % or more of Cu produced in a copper smelting process. The processing method comprises a step of charging the converter slag in a reduction furnace, and a step of conducting a heat reduction of a zinc content and a copper content contained in the slag and removing a reduced zinc by volatilization in the reduction furnace. The removal of the reduced zinc by volatilization is conducted in a condition in which an air fuel ratio of a volume of air blowing to an input of a reductant is controlled to 0.25 to 1.0.
