Patent number: 6743859Abstract: A method of producing polyvinyl alcohol polymer, with which a high-strength polyvinyl alcohol polymer with a high degree of saponification can be obtained, the polyvinyl ester saponification process can be linked directly with the spinning process, in which the polyvinyl alcohol polymer is made into fiber, the mole ratio of alcohol with respect to the polyvinyl alcohol can be freely selected, and the concentration of the polyvinyl alcohol obtained by the saponification reaction is high. The polyvinyl alcohol polymer that is obtained by this method exhibits a high block character value and is excellent in randomness is provided, wherein a polyvinyl ester is subject to a saponification reaction in an alcohol-containing organic solvent under the presence of a saponification catalyst and the saponification is carried out while distilling off the carboxylic acid ester that is produced by the saponification reaction.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2000Date of Patent: June 1, 2004Assignee: Kuraray Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Kowaka, Junji Funakoshi, Hiroyuki Miyawaki, Kazunori Watanabe

Patent number: 6259386Abstract: This invention relates to data input/output apparatus and the like, which are suitable to be applied to an AV server. As nonlinear accessible storage medium, there is provided with HDD array device (13). When a controller (11) of an AV server (10) receives a command for reproducing data from a minimum of two discontinuous areas in the HDD array device (13) in a first order, the HDD array device (13) then puts the command in an order such that a period of time for access is minimal to reads the data so that the read data are rearranged in the first order to be outputted through decoders (15) to (18). Thereby, the efficiency of data transfer is improved without complications.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2000Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Miyawaki, Takanobu Kondo, Yasuo Iwasaki, Hisao Tanaka
