Abstract: Lighting glass containing 0.3 to 1.0% by weight of Sb as Sb2O3 and 0.5 to 1.0% by weight of S as SO3 in a SiO2—Al2O3—R1O—R22O-based glass (where R1 represents Ca, Sr, Mg and Ba and R2 represents Na, K and Li) in which colloids comprising SbS2 and/or Sb2S3 are generated in the glass.

Abstract: The wedge base bulb includes a bulb body having a colored glass bulb and a press-sealed portion. Further, a tubular insulation collar is mounted to cover press-sealed portion. Bulb body is formed in a process in that a molding section of a glass tube including a color-developing compound or a color-developing element is heat-melted under a reducing atmosphere in a predetermined temperature region, placed in a mold and expanded in the mold, and also develops color with colloid generated by the heat-melting. As a result, a wedge base bulb developed a color and chromaticity satisfying a predetermined standard can be provided at a lower cost.

Abstract: The present invention provides a speaker unit comprising a diaphragm of 0.5 to 10 mm thick aromatic polycarbonate with a density of 0.03 to 0.6 g/cm3, and a mechanism for driving the diaphragm. The aromatic polycarbonate used for the diaphragm is preferably derived from bisphenol with a viscosity average molecular weight of 25,000 to 70,000. The invention further provides a speaker system comprising such a speaker unit attached to a cabinet and a method for manufacturing the speaker diaphragm.

Abstract: To provide a peripheral device and a computer system, each being arranged to allow both of external and internal attachments of the peripheral device to the computer system such that, in case of the external attachment, the peripheral device can be attached to the computer system in a manner compatible with the conventional attachment method and yet it does not require any dedicated attachment device as before. A computer system 100 comprises a container 140 for containing a peripheral device 130 as an internal device, a cable 410 for attaching the peripheral device 130 to the system 100 as an external device, and a connector 434 for connecting the cable 410. Also, the peripheral device 130 has a connector 132 for internal attachment and a connector 310 for external attachment. When the peripheral device 130 is contained in the container 140, it is electrically connected to the system 100 and operates as a part thereof.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display unit has at least one of the screw securing elements on its right and left sides to attach to brackets for attachment to the cover for a laptop computer. When the liquid crystal display unit is fixed to the cover from the side in this manner, the cover can be near that of the size of the liquid crystal display panel.

Abstract: A polycarbonate resin-containing composition is extruded through a die together with a blowing agent to produce a foamed body. The composition has a storage modulus G'.sub.A dyn/cm.sup.2 at a temperature of 250.degree. C. and an angular frequency of 0.1 rad/sec and a storage modulus G'.sub.B dyn/cm.sup.2 at a temperature of 250.degree. C. and an angular frequency of 10 rad/sec, wherein the storage modulus G'.sub.A and storage modulus G'.sub.B satisfy the following conditions:0.ltoreq..alpha..ltoreq.2.02.20.ltoreq..beta..ltoreq.5.70where .alpha. represents (logG'.sub.B -logG'.sub.A)/2 and .beta. represents (logG'.sub.B+logG'.sub.A)/2.

Abstract: An apparatus for ejecting a function-aid unit according to the present invention is intended to eject a function-aid unit which can be connected or disconnected to or from a connector on the side of the apparatus, and provides an extracting member for moving the function-aid unit so that the function-aid unit is pulled out of the connector, and a slider button operational in conjunction with a rotating body for causing said function-aid unit to be extracted from the connector by moving the extracting member from the outside of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for the formation of a foamed polyolefin sheet provided with a cylindrical cooling device for cooling a foamed extruded tubular body at one end of an extruder, air outlets for increasing the internal pressure of the cooled foamed tubular body at a region between the extruder die and the upstream section of a cylindrical cooling device and between at least two adjacent sections of a cylindrical cooling device and a cutting blade for slitting the foamed tubular body enables the production of foamed polyolefin sheets with improved surface characteristics and strength.

Abstract: A foamed polyolefin sheet is formed by extruding a molten polyolefin resin, which contains a blowing agent, into a low-pressure zone through an annular die provided at an end of the extruder to form a foamed tubular body, bringing the foamed tubular body into contact with a peripheral surface of a cylindrical cooling device to cool the foamed tubular body and then slitting the thus-cooled foamed tubular body and then slitting the thus-cooled foamed tubular body in the direction of extrusion to open same. The cylindrical cooling device is divided into an upstream section and at least one other spaced downstream sections. The internal pressure of the foamed tubular body is increased to from about 5.times.10.sup.-4 to 3.times.10.sup.-2 kg/cm.sup.2 (G) between the die and the upstream section of the cylindrical cooling device and also between at least two adjacent sections of the cylindrical cooling device to apply tension to the foamed tubular body at the inner wall and prevent the formation of corrugations.
