Abstract: A cell culture container includes a storage container, a cell culture area, a culture solution supply unit, and a discharge unit. The cell culture area is a region for culturing cells, and is provided in the storage container. The culture solution supply unit supplies the culture solution into the cell culture area at a flow rate equal to or less than a predetermined flow rate. The discharge unit discharges the liquid in the cell culture area to the outside of the storage container. A rectification unit is a structure in which a plurality of outflow ports are uniformly arranged in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the culture solution from the culture solution supply unit to the discharge unit.

Abstract: A method for making a synthetic resin injection molded body that is gate-cut by die opening after injection molding by means of a pinpoint gate 9. A cavity 10 is filled with a molten resin, from a first sprue 6 that is provided coaxially with the injection direction of the molten resin, through a runner 7 that is provided in the perpendicular direction to the first sprue 6, via a pinpoint gate 9 that is formed on a tip part of a second sprue 8 that is provided horizontally to the injection direction of the molten resin, from a gate port 9a of the pinpoint gate 9 formed on a cavity plane that is in parallel with the die opening direction; after cooling, gate cutting is performed by means of die opening; and a molded body is taken out in an ejection step.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a durable semispherical shoe which can be prevented from being subjected to seizure even in a dry lubrication state in which there is no lubricating oil at a start time of an operation of a swash plate compressor, can be restrained from deteriorating in its lubricating property due to generated frictional heat, and can be restrained from deteriorating in its strength at a production time and an injection molding die. A semispherical shoe (4), for a swash plate compressor, to be produced by the production method has a base material (5), consisting of a hard material, which has a hollow part along a central axis thereof and a resin layer, consisting of a resin composition, which is formed on a surface of a planar part, disposed on a periphery of the base member, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate and on a surface of a spherical part, disposed on the periphery thereof, which is to be subjected to sliding contact with a piston.

Abstract: A swash plate compressor in which a lubricating film is not formed on a sliding contact surface of the swash plate and the piston owing to the use of the semispherical shoe. The semispherical shoe (4) is subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate of the swash plate compressor and the piston thereof. A base material (5) consists of a metallic member having a resin layer (6b) formed on a surface of a planar part (4b) that is subjected to sliding contact with the swash plate. A resin layer (6a) is formed on a surface of a spherical part (4a) to be subjected to sliding contact with the piston. The resin layer (6a) and the resin layer (6b) are integral with each other. At least one portion of the base material (5) is exposed.

Abstract: To provide a synthetic resin thrust plate having usable plane accuracy while eliminating correction of the plane shape thereof with a hot-plate press and a method for manufacturing the same. A synthetic resin thrust plate 1 is a hollow disc-shaped, synthetic resin thrust plate having a plurality of radial grooves 2 and 3 at equiangular intervals in terms of a disc central angle on both thrust faces 1a and 1b, respectively. The grooves 2 on one thrust face 1a and the grooves 3 on another thrust face 1b are the same in number. The grooves 2 on the one thrust face 1a and the grooves 3 on the other thrust face 1b are arranged so as not to overlap with each other in a circumferential direction. In particular, the grooves 2 on the one thrust face 1a and the grooves 3 on the other thrust face 1b are arranged in a staggered manner so as to have an angular deviation of ½ of an angular interval between the grooves adjacent to each other on the same thrust face in terms of the disc central angle.
