  • Patent number: 7691958
    Abstract: A polypropylene for an electric material has a melt flow rate of 0.1 to 30 g/10 min., a mesopentad fraction calculated from a 13C-NMR spectrum of 0.90 to 0.99, and a firing residue of 50 ppm by weight or less based on the polypropylene, a titanium content and an iron content which are detected from the firing residue, of 1 ppm by weight or less and 0.1 ppm or less, respectively, based on the polypropylene, and the chlorine content of 5 ppm by weight or less based on the polypropylene. The above polypropylene exhibits excellent electric insulation and has a roughened surface when it is formed into a film, and thus the polypropylene can be suitably used for a capacitor film without using an additive such as a ? crystal nucleating agent. The polypropylene is also useful as a material of a film for coating an electric wire and a material for an instrument for conveying an electronic material.

  • Patent number: 6757593
    Abstract: A vehicle expression operation control system and vehicle communication system for performing an expression operation to generate an easily understood expression and a vehicle for performing an expression operation. Condition and other information about a vehicle is detected by an operation information collecting section (12) and detected data collection section (14), and supplied to a reaction formulating section (26). Based on current status information of the vehicle held in a state recognizing section (24), the reaction formulating section (26) formulates a reaction and controls performance of an expression operation corresponding to the formulated reaction. Further, based on the reaction formulated, an operation control section (28) controls operation of respective devices equipped to the vehicle, including lights, antennae, and the like, so that the vehicle performs such expression operation.
