Abstract: An aquatic play equipment formed by a flexible thin film to define a space inside for floating on water is provided. The aquatic play equipment has a floating part into which air is supplied for floating on the water, a guiding part which is provided under the floating part and into which water is supplied; and, a planer partition provided between the floating part and the guiding part to prevent fluid-communication therebetween; a lower surface of the guiding part having a convex shape which protrudes into the water. When a person has dived below the aquatic play equipment, since the lower surface has the convex shape, the person can rise to the water surface easily.

Abstract: A steam-generating warming article 1 which has a steam generating element 2 making use of chemical energy and is adapted to supply steam while in contact with a human body. The article 1, while in contact with the body, maintains the skin surface temperature at 38° to 49° C. for 3 to 15 hours and cumulatively generates 0.5 to 12 mg/3 hr·cm2 of steam. The steam-generating warming article 1 is used to improve the human body's physiology. The steam generating element 2 is preferably a heat generating sheet prepared by incorporating an aqueous electrolyte solution into a molded sheet containing an oxidizable metal, a reaction accelerator, and a fibrous material.

Abstract: An injection molding machine may include a split mold where a gas discharge portion is formed at parting surfaces. Further, the cross-section of a flow passage of the gas discharge portion may be reduced at a predetermined timing after the start of the filling of a molding material. Since the cross-section of the flow passage of the gas discharge portion is reduced after a cavity space starts being filled with a molding material, it may be possible to make the amount of gas, which flows through the gas discharge portion, large until the cross-section of the flow passage of the gas discharge portion is reduced. It may be possible to prevent a foreign material from adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the gas discharge portion.

Abstract: A heat generating device includes an air-permeable first side located proximal to a wearer's body, a second side located distal to a wearer's body, and a heat generating member between the two sides. The second side includes an adhesive layer for attaching the device to a garment. The first side is formed of a nonwoven fabric having an uneven surface topography. The nonwoven fabric includes a first fiber layer, inclusive of a first surface of the fabric, and a second fiber layer, inclusive of a second surface of the fabric, partly bonded to each other and including a large number of protrusions and recesses on the side of the first fiber layer. The first surface is used as the first side.

Abstract: A physiology enhancing device for improving physiological functions of a human body, etc., which comprises a heat generating element making use of chemical energy and a sheet interposed between the heat generating element and a body surface of a wearer, and which is designed to supply steam generated from the heat generating element while the device is applied to the body surface. The device exhibits steam generating capability for 2 hours or longer and, while applied to the body surface, raises the body surface temperature to a temperature from 38° C. to lower than 42° C. within one hour from the application. The sheet interposed between the heat generating element and the body surface preferably has a function of regulating air feed to the heat generating element and a function of transferring the heat of the physiology enhancing device to the body surface and preferably has a total thickness of 0.05 to 1.5 mm.

Abstract: It may be possible to suppress the clogging of a gas vent, to simplify the maintenance of a mold device, and to improve the preform productivity. The invention may be applied to an injection molding machine including a split mold where a gas discharge portion is formed at parting surfaces. Further, the cross-section of a flow passage of the gas discharge portion is reduced at a predetermined timing after the start of the filling of a molding material. Since the cross-section of the flow passage of the gas discharge portion is reduced after a cavity space starts being filled with a molding material, it may be possible to make the amount of gas, which flows through the gas discharge portion, large until the cross-section of the flow passage of the gas discharge portion is reduced.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to arrange so that the digital signal transmission between specific equipments connected with each other by the transmission line of a fixed standard can be performed securely and satisfactorily. When a digital signal destination is caused to receive a fixed digital signal sent out of a digital signal sender, the digital signal destination acquires at the request of the destination from the digital signal sender data on modes in which the digital signal sender is able to send out the digital signal, and a transmission mode of the digital signal is caused to be set by a command based on the acquired mode data from the digital signal destination. Moreover, when a digital signal destination is caused to receive a fixed digital signal sent out of a digital signal sender, a flag is added to the digital signal sent out of the digital signal sender, which indicates that the transmission rate is being adjusted based on the command from the digital signal destination.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus along with a method for displaying a list of data to be transferred from one storage area to another in conjunction with a progress status report of the data transfer, thereby allowing users to know at a glance how far the transfer of desired data has progressed.
