Abstract: An optical part for light transmission comprises a light conductor formed of a core of a transparent material and a clad of a material having a smaller refractive index than that of the core material, and a light emitting and/or receiving element, wherein the light emitting and/or receiving element is integrally combined with the core of the light conductor by a same material as the core material or by a material having a same refractive index as that of the core material and having a greater rigidity than that of the material forming the clad and/or jacket. The optical part can be used in a high temperature environment as well as a room temperature environment without involving any appreciable loss in light transmission.

Abstract: There is provided a resinous optical transmitting element in which a core, through which light is transmitted, is formed into a predetermined non-linear configuration, and a cladding lower in refractive index than the core is in close contact with the core. A method of manufacturing the optical transmitting element comprises the steps of polymerizing polymeric material forming the core, within a mold having a predetermined non-linear cavity, subsequently removing the mold, and forming the cladding about the core. The resinous optical transmitting element obtained by the method can be formed into a selected one of various configurations in compliance with the purpose. In addition, the resinous optical transmitting element is less in distortion, making it possible to reduce the transmission loss.

Abstract: This invention comprises unifying circuits with a base on which mechanical parts are mounted and relates to a mechanical part mounting chassis provided with a substrate and a circuit buried in the substrate and/or spread out on the substrate surface.

Abstract: A friction material made of a molded cork, a friction surface of which is covered with a liquid or semi-solid lubricant layer including a solid lubricant layer comprising a solid lubricant having a larger particle size and a solid lubricant having a smaller particle size and filling vacant spaces between the larger-sized solid lubricant in dense form, affords a long service life when used in a power controlling apparatus which can transmit power and/or change rotation speed by applying friction and using a friction material.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device is disclosed in which a liquid crystal material mixed with a dichroic dye is held between a pair of substrates whose facing surfaces are provided with electrodes, so that a picture element is made up of a pair of facing portions of the electrodes and a portion of the liquid crystal material sandwiched by the facing portions, in which a reflecting plate is adjacent to one of the substrates, and in which at least one of the substrates is formed of a birefringent material having slow and fast principal axes of birefringence. In the above device, an angle between the direction of the absorption axis of the dichroic dye and one of the principal axes of birefringence of the substrate is selected so that the contrast and viewing-direction characteristic of the device can be improved.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device comprises transparent electrode substrates having an aligning coating film of a homogeneous mixture comprising a silanol oligomer modified by an aromatic ring-containing silane group, and an organic polymer at the electrode side, where the heat resistance and adhesiveness of the coating film to the electrode substrates are improved without any undercoating film therebetween.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a color picture tube of the type comprising the steps of coating phosphors of three primary colors on the inner surface of the face plate of the color picture tube to form dots or stripes of the phosphors, applying an acrylic resin emulsion on the dots or stripes of the phosphors to form an acrylic resin film, vapor depositing metal onto the film to form a metallic reflecting film, subjecting the acrylic resin film to a pyrolysis for decomposing it into gases, and removing the gases, the acrylic resin emulsion comprises a plurality of emulsions respectively containing conventional acrylic resin and normal butyl methacrylate resin. The normal butyl methacrylate resin is mixed with the conventional acrylic resin at a ratio of 5 to 40% by weight.

Abstract: A process for preparing a thermoplastic resin composition comprises subjecting a cross-linked rubber obtained by copolymerization of an acrylic ester represented by the general formula CH.sub.2 = CHCOOR, wherein R is an alkyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and a cross-linking agent to graft polymerization with a polymerizable vinyl or vinylidene monomer in the presence of polyvinyl chloride resin particles through radical polymerization. The present disclosure also relates to a process for preparing a mixed composition comprising the thermoplastic resin composition prepared above and a powder of polyvinyl chloride resin.The thermoplastic resin composition has good weather-resistance properties and good mechanical properties. As the thermoplastic resin composition can easily be mixed with a polyvinyl chloride resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin composition having excellent properties is obtained by simple mixing operation.
