Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a crosslinked polyarylene sulfide (PAS) that reduces a difference in melt viscosity among lots and has excellent quality stability. Further specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing a crosslinked PAS including steps of compression-molding an uncrosslinked PAS in a powder form to obtain a compression-molded material, measuring a porosity of the compression-molded material, grinding the compression-molded product having a specific range of porosity to obtain a pulverized material, granulating the pulverized material to obtain a granulated material, and oxidatively crosslinking the granulated material obtained in the preceding step. Also provided are a method for producing a composition containing the crosslinked PAS, and a method for producing a molded article by melt-molding the composition.

Abstract: A method for producing a crosslinked polyarylene sulfide resin (PAS resin) that reduces a difference in melt viscosity among lots and has excellent quality stability is provided. Further specifically, the method includes steps of compression-molding an uncrosslinked PAS resin in a powder form to obtain a compression-molded material, measuring a true specific gravity of the compression-molded material, grinding the compression-molded product having a specific range of true specific gravity to obtain a pulverized material, granulating the pulverized material to obtain a granulated material, and oxidatively crosslinking the granulated material obtained in the above step. Also provided are a method for producing a composition containing the crosslinked PAS, and a method for producing a molded article by melt-molding the composition.

Abstract: A scaffold provided with a running board part and a reinforcing member which is attached to at least one end of the running board part in the width direction of the running board part. The reinforcing member has a pair of extension parts which extend in the longitudinal direction of the running board and which are disposed apart from each other in the vertical direction, and a plurality of connecting parts which are disposed at intervals in the longitudinal direction and which connect the pair of extension parts.

Abstract: Provided are an adsorbent which can be used in water, particularly even under strong acid conditions, and which has excellent adsorptivity, a method for efficiently separating a separation object substance from a liquid containing the separation object substance using the adsorbent, and further a method for producing a liquid having a separation object substance reduced. More specifically, provided are a method for separating a separation object substance and a liquid using polyarylene sulfide resin particles as an adsorbent from the liquid containing the separation object substance, wherein the liquid contains water, and further a method for producing a liquid having a separation object substance reduced, comprising efficiently separating a separation object substance from a liquid containing the separation object substance using an adsorbent which can be used in water, particularly even under strong acid conditions, and which has excellent adsorptivity.

Abstract: A hazard prediction and a hazard avoidance procedure are performed based on a predetermined hazard avoidance condition during an autonomous driving operation of a vehicle. User-input information about a driving operation of the vehicle; is received, and area or object information is checked to determine the area or the object as a monitoring target. The monitoring target is tracked. At least one additional hazard avoidance procedure for the monitoring target is set, and the at least one additional hazard avoidance procedure is performed in addition to the hazard avoidance procedure when the monitoring target approaches the vehicle.

Abstract: An electronically controlled fuel injection device that achieves reduced component count, simplified construction, and cost reduction while promoting discharge of vapor that is generated in a pressurizing chamber. With a fuel passage from a fuel intake pipe into a pressurizing chamber and a return passage that is a discharge passage for vapor generated in the pressurizing chamber, and a plunger with a prescribed reciprocating operation having a standby position set as a position enabling fuel supply and vapor discharge, the electronically controlled fuel injection device eliminates the need for an inlet check valve and promotes the discharge of vapor that is generated when fuel is supplied from the fuel intake pipe to the pressurizing chamber.
