  • Publication number: 20070209039
    Abstract: When a queue start instruction is input, a message queue control program starts a process of asynchronous communication and allocates a queue on a memory. Messages received from a message transmitting side application are stored into the queue. When a message receiving side application requires, the messages are transferred. When a queue shutdown instruction is input, the message queue control program saves the non-transferred messages stored in the queue to a saving file. When a queue restart instruction is input, the message queue control program acquires the messages saved to the saving file and restores them to the original queue.

  • Patent number: 6329031
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyester resin composition comprising (A) 10 to 90% by weight of a polyethylene terephthalate polymer having 100 to 75 mole % of ethylene terephthalate units and (B) 90 to 10% by weight of a polyester resin wherein the polyester resin composition when molded into a sheet has an oxygen permeability coefficient of 3.0 or less cc-mm/m2day·atm. The polyester resin composition of the present invention gives a molded product which is outstanding in transparency, gas barrier property, ultraviolet-screening property and impact strength and therefore suitable as a reduced pressure blood-collecting tube.

  • Patent number: 4680345
    Abstract: An improvement in a process for producing an elastic polyester wherein a crystalline aromatic polyester and one or plurality of lactones are reacted, the improvement comprises by carrying out the reaction in a continuous process by continuously feeding the molten crystalline aromatic polyester and the lactones to a reaction vessel to subject them to addition polymerization, while continuously discharging a reaction mixture from the vessel to obtain the elastic polyester. Optionally, the reaction mixture can be further subjected to polycondensation in a molten state or a solid phase.
