Abstract: An endless woven fabric for condensing paper material and a method for forming such an endless fabric which removes ink and other extraneous substances from the aqueous solution of reclaimed paper material. On the endless fabric formed by weaving plastic monofilaments, an antiflexing part, 30-50 mm in width, is provided on at least one end of the selvage in the direction of width by causing thermoplastic resin to fill not less than 85% of an empty space in the endless woven fabric. Further, a guide ridge of thermoplastic resin is formed by causing thermoplastic resin to fill an empty space in the end parts on the running surface of the endless fabric, and is welded with the antiflexing part integrally. Platelike reinforcing strips are formed in a length nearly equal to the width of the endless fabric. The strips are extended between the opposite ends of the endless fabric by causing thermoplastic resin of the strips to fill not less than 85% of an empty space in the endless fabric.

Abstract: A two-layer woven fabric for paper-making where a paper-making side woven fabric and a running side woven fabric are combined together by pairs of auxiliary wefts which are placed adjacent to each of wefts of both fabrics. When one of a pair of the auxiliary wefts is placed over a paper-making side warp filling a concave portion formed by the warp, the other auxiliary weft is placed under a running side warp thereby connecting both the paper-making side and the running side fabrics together.

Abstract: A single layer woven fabric for paper-making, in which at least a pair of two successive knuckles in the paper-making side at an interval of one warp, and at least one crimp in the running side form a plain weave structure. The knuckle be formed by allowing a weft to pass over one warp, to pass under one adjacent warp, and then to pass over the one warp. The crimp be formed by allowing a weft to pass under not less than three successive warps. The plain weave structure is formed by binding two or three wefts constituting a group which in turn constitutes a repeating unit and by placing the combined group, in the direction of wefts, so that the knuckles of wefts in the paper-making side are placed successively at an interval of one warp. The placement of the wefts group is made by shifting the group as the whole successively by a distance corresponding to an odd number of the warp.

Abstract: A bending resistant part of an endless multilayer fabric for densifying paper materials is placed on a trimming part; to thereby prevent cutting of a fabric at the trimming part. Also oblique movement and dropping off a guide protrusion is prevented. Particularly, a bending resistant part is formed by filling a polyurethane resin in internal structure of an endless fabric of trimming part of the width direction of the fabric woven with arranging at least three layers of weft. A guide protrusion molded from similar polyurethane is arranged on the bending resistant part by fusion. Cutting caused by bending and wearing of the fabric near the guide protrusion is prevented.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the concentration of chloride ions and bromide ions employing one and the same serum specimen and one measuring electrode assembly consisting of a working electrode, a counter electrode and a reference electrode which is covered with a polymer film having fine porosity being disposed in a serum specimen. The potential level of the working electrode is cyclically changed within the first predetermined range to determine the total amount of coulombs based on the total amount of chloride ions and bromide ions present with specimen. Then the potential level of the working electrode is cyclically changed within the second predetermined range to determine the amount of coulombs attributable to bromide ions and subsequently the amount of coulombs attributed to the chloride ions concentration is calculated by subtracting the latter from the former and finally determining both ion concentrations by referring to a calibration curve.
