Abstract: This invention relates to a DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a fusion protein, wherein the fusion protein comprises: a sequence of signal peptide for Bacillus cell wall protein (CWP); a tag sequence for separation and purification of the fusion protein; a linker sequence; a sequence for chemical or enzymatic cleavage; and an exogenous polypeptide sequence, said sequences being linked in order, said signal peptide, tag and linker being optional sequences; and wherein said nucleotide sequence encoding a fusion protein is ligated to 3′-end of a nucleic acid sequence comprising a Bacillus promoter region; to a vector comprising the DNA; to a bacterium belonging to the genus Bacillus comprising the vector; and to a process for preparation of a useful polypeptide by culture of the bacterium.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for hollow injection molding. More particularly, it concerns a method for hollow injection molding a shaft-unified type resin rotator with excellent productivity. The molded article obtained by the present invention is excellent in dimensional accuracy, strength, surface appearance and recyclability of materials.

Abstract: Disclosed is a hollow, resin mechanical part having a shaft integrally formed therewith, comprising a hollow, integral, functional segment-shaft structure comprising at least one functional resin segment, and a resin shaft coaxially, integrally formed with the functional segment, wherein the integral segment-shaft structure satisfies the relationships defined by the following formula 0.9.ltoreq.L(b)/L(a).ltoreq.1, in which L(a) represents the entire length of the integral segment-shaft structure, and L(b) represents the length of the hollow. The mechanical part of the present invention has not only high dimensional precision and excellent material-recycling characteristics, but also can be produced with high productivity, and is very useful in various fields, such as automobiles, ordinary machinery, precision machinery and electric and electronic equipment.

Abstract: A cable insulated with a cross-linked polyethylene layer is described, wherein the cross-linked polyethylene is prepared by cross-linking with 2,5-dimethyl-2-5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane or 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexyne-3 as a cross-linking agent. Even if voltage is applied at high temperatures, the breakdown voltage of the cable can be maintained at a high level.

Abstract: A sealing material for the prevention of water-leakage used in, for example, waterproofed fabric and various building and construction materials is provided.The sealing material consists of (a) a water-insoluble partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol having a saponification degree of 35 to 65% by mole and a number average polymerization degree of 500 to 3,500, and (b) 5 to 100 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of said partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol, of a mixture of glycerin and the glyceryl ester of a carboxylic acid.
