Abstract: A hood locking device includes a locking mechanism including two latches configured to fix an engine hood at a closed position by latching a striker included with the engine hood of a vehicle and unfix the engine hood by releasing the striker. One of the two latches includes one of a projection and a recess and the other one of the two latches includes the other one of the projection and the recess. The projection and the recess form a fitting portion and the projection is fitted to the recess. The two latches are pivotally supported by a base plate fixed to the vehicle and configured such that latching directions of the two latches for the striker are opposite to each other. One of the two latches includes a right-hand-drive operation cable attachment portion and the other one of the two latches includes a left-hand-drive operation cable attachment portion.

Abstract: Provided is a hood lock device attachment structure. A hood lock device is configured so as to be fixed to an attachment portion disposed on a vehicle body and configured so as to lock a hood in a closed state through engagement with a hood striker that protrudes from the inner surface of the hood of the vehicle. This hood lock device attachment structure has at least one temporary attachment portion that is configured so as to temporarily attach the hood lock device to the attachment portion using a fitting force in such a manner that the attachment portion and the hood lock device are relatively movable in the vehicle width direction.

C.; (B) tris(.beta.-methylglycidyl) isocyanurate of formula (1); and (C) as a ring opening polymerization inhibitor, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of amines having in their molecules a bond of formula (2); and onium salts.

Abstract: A resin composition for powder coating, comprising(A) a carboxyl group-containing resin having a number average molecular weight of 1000 to 20000, an acid value of 5 to 200 and a glass transition temperature of 30 to 120.degree. C.,(B) bis(.beta.-methylglycidyl)terephthalate of the formula (1): ##STR1## as a curing agent, and (D) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of amines having the linkage of the formula (2): ##STR2## in the molecule, a triarylphosphines and onium salts as a ring-opening polymerization inhibitor, the equivalent ratio of (.beta.-methylglycidyl group of the component (B))/(carboxyl group of the component (A)) being 0.5 to 3.0. The composition can give a product of curing excellent in impact resistance, weathering resistance and so on.

Abstract: An electrically conductive composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a copper powder, from 2 to 100 parts by weight of a resin binder, and from 0.1 to 30 parts by weight of an additive agent, wherein the additive agent is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of .alpha.-ketols, aliphatic and aromatic thiols, thiodiarylamines, tall oils, rosins, rosin esters, higher fatty acid amides, o-aminophenols, 2,2'-dipyridyls, and 2,2'-diquinolyls.

Abstract: A method of suspension polymerization is carried out by dispersing vinyl chloride in an aqueous medium in the presence of an oil soluble catalyst for polymerization and a polymerization improver having units ##STR1## wherein M represents hydrogen atom or an alkali metal; R represents --H, --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7 or --C.sub.4 H.sub.9 and n represents an integer of 10 to 1500.
