Abstract: The present invention provides an aromatic polyester which is substantially free from the occurrence of coloration and retains significantly high transparency even after being thermally processed at high temperature and which has high flowability. The aromatic polyester contains a polyhydric phenol residue and a residue of any one of aromatic polycarboxylic acid, halide thereof, and anhydride thereof, and terminals of the aromatic polyester have a structure represented by the formula —C(O)—R. The aromatic polyester has an end-capping rate of 90% or higher and a weight average molecular weight (Mw) ranging from 3,000 to 1,000,000.

Abstract: There is provided an aromatic polyester suitable for optical applications, which has not only high heat resistance and transparency, but also enhanced fluidity at a relatively low molding temperature of less than 300° C. despite its high molecular weight to be substantially colorless after the molding process. The aromatic polyester of the present invention comprises polyhydric phenol residues and residues of aromatic polycarboxylic acid, acid halide or acid anhydride thereof; wherein the polyhydric phenol residues comprise polyhydric phenol residues represented by Formula (I): —O—Ar—W1x—Ar—O— and/or Formula (II): —O—Ar—O—, and bulky polyhydric phenol residues represented by Formula (III): —O—Ar—W2—Ar—O—; wherein the molar ratio of the polyhydric phenol residues represented by Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) to the polyhydric phenol residues represented by Formula (III) is in the range of 100:0 to 30:70 (exclusive of 100:0).

Abstract: The present invention provides a modifier for aromatic polyesters which enhances the melt fluidity of aromatic polyesters without a significant decrease in the heat resistance of the aromatic polyesters, and an aromatic polyester resin composition including the modifier for aromatic polyesters. The present invention relates to a modifier for aromatic polyesters comprising polyhydric phenol residues and residues of aromatic polycarboxylic acid, acid halide or acid anhydride thereof, and the modifier comprises a material having a structure composed of a first residue selected from the group consisting of divalent residues represented by Formula (I): —Ar—W1x—Ar— and by Formula (II): —Ar—, the first residues being bonded to two identical or different second residues selected from the group consisting of monovalent residues represented by Formula (III): and monovalent residues represented by Formula (IV): —O—C(O)—R7—.

Abstract: An instruction value conversion section (31) of an operation target calculation section (30) converts an instruction signal from a joystick (25). In order to obtain a movement mode of a ship intended by an operator, a target propeller speed calculation section (32) calculates, using each converted value, target rotation speed of right and left propellers (13) and the propeller (14b) of a thruster (14). At a main engine operation control section (40), a slip rate determination section (41) calculates the slip rate U of a clutch mechanism (120) of a marine gear (12) in order to rotate the propellers (13) at the target rotation speed. A drive control section (42) controls operation of the main engine (11) and the clutch mechanism (120). Further, in a thruster operation control section (50), a drive control section (52) controls drive of the propeller (14b) in the rotational direction determined by an operation determining section (51).
