Abstract: In a doctor blade, which suppresses abrasion of a mating member and excels in water removal capability and shape retention capacity over a long time, resin is impregnated into a fibrous laminate composed of base materials and batt layers integrated by needle punching, and an adjustment is made so that the void content is between 50% and 80%.

Abstract: In laminated, resin-impregnated doctor blades for removing water from a grooved belt in the press part of a papermaking machine, fibers of the belt-contacting layer are oriented in the direction of travel of the belt. The doctor blade so constructed exhibits greater adhesion to the belt, an improved water-removal capability, and greater durability, when compared with a doctor blade having randomly oriented surface fibers.

Abstract: A doctor blade for removing water, which excels in water removal capability and shape retention capacity, and suppresses abrasion of the belt or other mating member with which it cooperates, is a fibrous laminate comprising integrated base material and batt fiber layers. By impregnating resin into one side of the fibrous laminate, a layer in which the amount of impregnated resin is large and a layer in which the amount of impregnated resin is small are provided. In use, the layer in which the amount of resin is small is in contact with a belt or other mating member. The doctor blades can be adapted to the mating member easily, and excel in the water removal capability and shape retention, and suppress abrasion of the mating member.

Abstract: A doctor blade for removing water from a mating member, such as a grooved elastic belt in the press part of a papermaking machine, comprises a resin-impregnated fibrous laminate, in which at least a part of the warp of a base material in the laminate, which comes into contact with the mating member, is brush-shaped, so that the warp enters the insides of the grooves to remove water therefrom.

Abstract: A thermal recording material having a thermal color-forming layer which contains an electron-donating leuco-dye and an electron-receiving compound, and a protective layer formed in that order on a support. The protective layer of the material contains an inorganic dye and at least one of an amide-denatured polyvinyl alcohol and a diacetone-denatured polyvinyl alcohol.

Abstract: The base layer of the cushion material is comprised of a ground body of meta-aromatic polyamide fibers and a bonding layer of substantially non-drawn meta-aromatic polyamide fibers integrated by needling. The airtight layer over the base layer comprises a non-woven fabric sheet of meta-aromatic polyamide fibers. The non-woven fabric sheet is integrated to the base layer under pressure by applying temperatures at or above the glass transition temperatures but at or below the decomposition temperatures of the constitutent fibers of the bonding layer.

Abstract: A tubular felt useful in the grinding of the panel face of a cathode ray tube is made up of a fabric woven with a non heat-shrinkable warp and a heat-shrinkable weft; a heat-shrinkable batt bonded to the surface of said fabric by needling; and a non heat-meltable, hygroscopic fiber mixed with at least one of the heat-shrinkable weft and heat-shrinkable batt.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material is described, comprising a support having provided thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein there is at least one hydrophilic colloidal layer containing at least one nonionic surface active agent and at least one anionic surface active agent having a polyoxyethylene group therein.

Abstract: For providing a molded body in the form of a predetermined pattern projecting from a surface of a substrate, such as, a flexible metal sheet, the substrate surface is first coated with a thermoplastic film and then applied against a mold plate which has a cavity in the form of the predetermined pattern opening toward the thermoplastic film, whereupon, a resin, such as, polyethylene, is injected into the cavity to form on the substrate an injection molded body having the predetermined pattern and which is bonded to the substrate through the thermoplastic film in consequence of the heat and pressure incidental to the injection molding process.

Abstract: In a system of controlling the operation of a plant by using a digital computer, operation control procedures are classified according to various states of the plant process variables. The control procedures comprise essential break points of the plant running, and process controlling operations, process supervision operations, information display operations and other processings related to the Tables corresponding to the operation control procedures are prepared containing classified items which are described according to a predetermined format. The contents of the tables are converted into machine words and stored in the memory device of the computer. The computer is provided with means responsive to a changed process signal from the plant for selecting a table corresponding to the changed process signal (representing a changed state) to form an operating signal which is used to control the plant. There is also provided means for displaying and modifying the content of a selected table.
