Abstract: A gasket clamp structure is provided which includes a gasket clamping bolt having a male screw and a coating material that is applied to an outer circumferential surface of a distal end portion of the male screw, a retaining member having a mounting hole, a casing having a thread hole in which a female screw is formed, and a gasket interposed between the retaining member and the casing and having a mounting hole. The gasket clamping bolt is inserted and screwed into the thread hole of the casing through the mounting holes of the retaining member and gasket, so that the gasket is clamped between the casing and the retaining member. A recess is formed in an inlet portion of the thread hole of the casing such that the recess has an inside diameter that is larger than an outside diameter of a thread of the male screw of the gasket clamping bolt.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hydrophilic resin composition which is obtained by adding, to a hydrophilic resin selected from a carboxyl group-containing hydrophilic acrylic copolymer resin, a carboxyl group-containing hydrophilic polyester resin and a carboxyl group-containing hydrophilic polyurethane resin, a hydrophilic carbodiimide represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR1## (wherein n is an average polymerization degree and is an integer of 1-30; m is an integer of 4-30; R.sub.1 is a lower alkyl group; and R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group) and which has an acid value based on the carboxyl group of the hydrophilic resin, of 10-400 mg KOH/g and a molar ratio of the carbodiimide group to the carboxyl group, of 0.2-5.0.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a stock solution composition for use in production of hard polyurethane foam, which composition can disperse the flame retardant filler component stably therein when allowed to stand and, when subjected to stirring or an external pressure, has a reduced viscosity, promising easy transfer of the composition and easy foaming in production of hard polyurethane foam at the site. The present invention provides a stock solution composition for use in production of hard polyurethane foam, which comprises, as the essential components, a polyol, a foaming agent, a flame retardant filler, a flame retarder and a solvent-swollen clay mineral. The swollen clay mineral has thixotropy; that is, it is a gel owing to the interaction between molecules when allowed to stand and, when subjected to an external pressure or the like, said interaction between molecules is cut and the gel changes into a liquid sol.

Abstract: A silicone resin is applied on a substrate to form a coating film. The coating film is subjected to a reactive ion etching in an atmosphere containing at least O.sub.2. Thus, the film is inorganized in its surface and has a distribution of the residue, an organic radical, contained therein gradually increasing in the depth thereof. This permits an insulating film having excellent heat endurance to be formed without generation of any cracks. This insulating film is very useful as an interlayer insulating film for multi-layer wiring.

Abstract: Grooves are formed on a finish-annealed electrical steel sheet by applying a mean load of from 90 to 220 kg/mm.sup.2 to the steel sheet, which is then heat treated at a temperature of 750.degree. C. or higher, and thereby fine crystal grains are generated at the strain-introduced sites of the steel sheet. The fine crystal grain reduces the watt-loss value. Such a watt-loss improving effect is not impaired even by stress-relief annealing.
