Abstract: A fluid circulation circuit includes a flow passage switching valve. The flow passage switching valve includes a body and a switcher. The body includes a first inlet, a second inlet, and outlets including a first outlet. The switcher is capable of switching a passage configuration to a state in which a fluid that has flowed in from the first inlet flows out of either one of the outlets and a state in which the fluid that has flowed in from the second inlet flows out of either one of the outlets.

Abstract: An absorbent article 10 has an absorbent member 1. The absorbent member 1 includes a web 2 of hydrophilic continuous fibers and a superabsorbent polymer 3 embeddedly supported in the web 2. The superabsorbent polymer 3 has its particle size varied between the topsheet side and the backsheet side of the web 2, preferably has a larger size in the topsheet side than in the backsheet side of the web 2. The superabsorbent polymer preferably has a rate of liquid permeation of 150 to 1500 g/min under a load of 0.6 kPa. The continuous fibers are preferably crimped fibers with a crimp percentage of 10% to 90%.

Abstract: Disclosed is an absorbent article having an absorbent member. The absorbent member has an absorbent core wrapped in a sheet of a fibrous material. The absorbent core contains a web of hydrophilic, crimped continuous fibers and a superabsorbent polymer which is embeddedly supported in the web. The continuous fibers are preferably oriented in the planar direction of the absorbent member. Also disclosed is an absorbent article having an absorbent member, in which a web of hydrophilic, crimped continuous fibers and a fiber accumulated layer or a nonwoven fabric are superposed on each other. The fiber accumulated layer and the nonwoven fabric are made of natural pulp and/or synthetic fibers and may or may not contain a superabsorbent polymer. The continuous fibers are oriented in the planar direction of the absorbent member.

Abstract: An electronic component cooling apparatus includes an air-cooled or water-cooled heat radiating portion and a meandering capillary tube heat pipe which carry out heat transfer between a board having electronic components mounted thereon and the heat radiating portion. The heat radiating portion comprises a plate fin type radiator 21 with an outer-shape of a substantially flat plate. The meandering capillary tube heat pipe is a plate type heat pipe 13 with an outer-shape of a substantially flat plate. The meandering capillary 13c is connected along a surface of the heat radiating portion. Since the meandering capillary tube heat pipe has a very large heat transfer capacity and is able to transfer heat over a long distance with low thermal resistance, it is possible to separate the board apart from the heat radiating portion. Accordingly, flexibility in arrangement of the electronic components or the heat radiating portion is so improved that various shaped apparatus can be designed and manufactured.

Abstract: Powdery dry lubricant is applied to the surface of a sliding member to be used with a copying machine, a printer or a facsimile machine operating on the basis of electrophotography, in place of toner particles in order to conduct various tests during the assembling process of those machines. Such dry lubricant is applied to a sliding member such as developing sleeve, developing blade, photosensitive drum or developing agent recovering blade, by 1) charging the dry lubricant contained in a container having an opening with electricity, 2) supplying air to the container to eject the electrically charged dry lubricant from the opening toward the sliding member that is grounded and secured as separate from the opening, and 3) causing the dry lubricant ejected from the opening to be adsorbed by the sliding member by means of electrostatic force.

Abstract: A watertight grommet for a wire harness including a core made up of a pair of complementary semi cylinders which are placed together to form a complete cylinder surrounding the harness. The harness extends through the bore of the complete cylinder and is tightly retained thereby in a watertight matter. There is an enlarged inner diameter of the bore near the front end, thus forming a gap between the harness and the inner surface of the bore wherein a sealant is introduced. A cylindrical sleeve is drawn over the outside of the core to complete the seal. The latter can have a groove therein for mounting on a separator.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor chip and a wiring formed on the chip. An interlayer film is located on the wiring. A pad is located on the interlayer film and is connected to the wiring with contacts that extend from the wiring, through the interlayer film, to the pad. The contacts include a first group of contacts located near the perimeter of the pad and a second group of pads located near the center of the pad. By limiting the number and placement of the contacts, the pad allows for a secure connection between the pad and the wiring and between the pad and a bonding wire.

Abstract: A cooling apparatus used, for instance, for a laser which is low in the consumption of energy and can be made small in size. The cooling apparatus includes: an outside air - water heat exchanger (or outside air cooler 15) as a first cooler; a refrigerant - water heat exchanger (or refrigerating cooler 27) as a second cooler; an outside air temperature sensor (22) for detecting an outside air temperature; and a control section (5) which, according to an outside air temperature, selects a refrigerator-cooler joint use mode for operating both the outside air cooler (15) and the refrigerating cooler (27), or an outside air cooler single use mode for operating only the outside air cooler (15) with the refrigerating cooler (27) stopped.

Abstract: A thin-film magnetic head has a first ferrite block on which a plurality of transducing elements are aligned on a predetermined surface, and a second ferrite block bonded to the first ferrite block, and has multi-track capabilities in accordance with the transducing elements. Eithr bonding surface of the first and second ferrite block is formed with an insulating film layer, the entire bonding surface is coated with an adhesive or formed with a plurality of recesses to be externally filled with the adhesive, and the adhesive is filled in gaps defined by the recesses and the surface of the opposed ferrite block. Thus, since the bonding portions of the first and second ferrite blocks are distributed over a wide region, the bonding strength can be largely increased, the transducing gap lengths are uniformly maintained, and the transducing element characteristic is not affected by the aging of the adhesive thereby improving the reliability of the magnetic head.
