  • Patent number: 11021618
    Abstract: Provided are: a curable composition that makes it possible to form a cured film having excellent wear resistance and weather resistance; a laminate that is provided with the cured film; and an automobile headlamp lens. The curable composition makes it possible to obtain a cured film in which the relationship between a haze value (?Hx) that is obtained by a wear resistance test and a haze value (?Hy) that is obtained by a weather resistance test satisfies ?Hy??0.3 ?Hx+5.0 when a cured film having a thickness of 10 ?m is produced.

  • Patent number: 10704807
    Abstract: An ultralow binary refrigeration apparatus, which cools an enclosed space to an ultralow temperature of ?80° C. or lower to be used for storing cells or microorganisms, for example, without posing worries in regard of Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and Global Warming Potential (GWP), and which is excellent in refrigerant stability, can dispense with an oil separator, and enables a reduction in the amount of refrigerant, or a reduction in the power output of the compressor. The object is achieved by a binary refrigeration apparatus configured by connecting a high temperature refrigeration cycle and a low temperature refrigeration cycle via a cascade condenser, in which the high temperature refrigeration cycle is filled with propane as a refrigerant and a refrigerator oil, while the low temperature refrigeration cycle is filled with a hydrocarbon having a boiling point of ?80° C. or lower as a refrigerant, a refrigerator oil, and an oil return agent.

  • Patent number: 9514253
    Abstract: A molecular design apparatus is disclosed. Expansion coefficients applied to basis functions are calculated by expanding molecular orbital functions used to draw molecular orbitals based on the molecular structure design data. First molecular orbital data in which the expansion coefficients are corresponded to the basis functions is stored to the storage part. A coefficient threshold is determined for the expansion coefficients of the basis functions by using a drawing threshold which indicates a constant function value, to draw the molecular orbital functions as an isosurface of the constant function value on a screen of a display device. Second molecular orbital data pertinent to the expansion coefficients is stored based on the coefficient threshold to the storage part.

  • Patent number: 9068769
    Abstract: An oil separator capable of preventing breakage in a float with an extremely simple configuration is provided. An oil separator is to separate oil in a refrigerant that is discharged from a compressor and return the oil to the compressor. The oil separator includes: a tank, into which a refrigerant discharged from the compressor flows; a float having a hollow therein that is held vertically movably in the tank, the float moving up and down with a change of an oil level in the tank; and a needle valve to return oil in the tank to the compressor in accordance with up/down movement of the float. The float includes an equalizing tube having a lower end that opens at a bottom part in the float and an upper end that opens outside of the float and above the oil level in the tank.

  • Patent number: 8934220
    Abstract: An electronic device is provided which firmly holds a battery pack at the time of mounting the battery pack, and can easily eject the battery pack at the time of ejection. When a battery pack 11 is housed in a battery compartment 21, and a cover 30 is slid from an attachment start position P1 to an attachment completion position P0 to cover the battery compartment 21, a regulation member 32 disposed on a rear surface 301 of the cover 30 is engaged with a battery pack locking claw 221 of a battery pack holding member 22, which locks an upper surface 11A of the battery pack 11. As a result, the movement of the battery pack holding member 22 in a direction of disengaging the battery pack locking claw 221 is regulated so that the battery pack 11 can be surely prevented from coming off from the battery compartment 21. Also, when the cover 30 moves to the attachment start position P1, the regulation member 32 is also moved and disengaged from the battery pack locking claw 221.
