Abstract: In the tennis game board, each of the racket-supporting bodies that are reciprocally movable along each end of the base board is provided with a ball delivery member, which directly feeds the ball onto the board surface as if the ball was served by one of the racket-supporting bodies. After this, the ball on the board surface of the base board is hit alternately by the opposedly disposed racket-supporting bodies, thus enabling the game like tennis to be performed.
Abstract: Disclosed in a straw-insertable lid for a paper cup which is placed on an upper end of a paper cup in which a beverage such as tea, coffe, a soft drink, fruit juice, or the like, a sherbert-like beverage of any of these beverages, or the like is accommodated singly or together with crushed ice so as to allow the beverage to be drunk by inserting a straw through the straw-inserting slit provided in the top plate portion. The upper lid is formed of natural rubber, and a protruding outer ring is provided on the top plate portion around the slit. As a result, when the lids are disposed of by being dumped as rubbish after use, the lids easily decompose, thereby preventing the dumped lids from constituting a source of environmental destruction. At the same time, when the straw is inserted through the slit, the protruding annuular ring prevents the slit from becoming easily being ripped large.

Abstract: Various kinds of organophosphazene polymers are produced by reacting dichlorophosphezene polymer with hydroxy compounds using a tertiary amine such as triethyl amine as an acid acceptor in the presence of pyridine derivative such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine as a catalyst under mild reaction conditions to substitute substantially all the chlorine atoms with organic groups.
Abstract: Polymers of a 3,4-substituted pyrrole compound substituted by an electron-attractive group having a Hammett's substituent constant (.sigma..sub.p) of 0.30 to 0.80 in at least one of the 3- and 4- positions are disclosed. The polymers are stable in the air in a dope-free state and show distinct electrochromism. Some of them are soluble in an alkaline aqueous solvent. Therefore, they are useful as electrochromic elements, etc.

Abstract: A speed detection apparatus intended to be placed in a borehole containing high temperature flowing fluid consists of an elongated casing with a rotary shaft having a helical rotary blade in the casing. Secured to the rotary shaft is a sensor control rotor with a plurality of metal targets on the periphery. Opposed to these targets is an eddy currents displacement transducer with electric circuitry including a coil. The displacement of the targets due to fluid flow causes impedance change in the coil which produces an electrical signal proportional to the rate of flow.
