Abstract: A lifting and lowering movement control system for controlling an automatic conveyance vehicle configured to move with an article loaded thereon and a lifting and lowering device configured to move up and down in a state in which the automatic conveyance vehicle is on board, the system includes a lifting and lowering relevant information acquisition section configured to acquire lifting and lowering relevant information relating to the lifting and lowering device scheduled to be boarded by the automatic conveyance vehicle, and a movement control section configured to set a movement path to the lifting and lowering device scheduled to be boarded based on the lifting and lowering relevant information.

Abstract: A method for producing articles of composite resin, wherein a liquid crystal polymer material in powder form is mixed with a second, melt-processable polymer material; the resulting mixture is kneaded at a temperature at which the second polymer material will melt but at which no deformation of the liquid crystal polymer will be caused so as to prepare a blend comprising the liquid crystal polymer powder uniformly dispersed in the matrix of the second polymer; and the blend is then subjected to a molding or shaping process at a temperature within the range at which the liquid crystal polymer is capable of forming liquid crystals.
