Abstract: A web manufacturing apparatus includes a transport section configured to transport a web containing fiber, a web humidifier configured to humidify the web, and a control section configured to control operation of the transport section and the web humidifier. When transportation of the web by the transport section is stopped, the control section causes the transport section to recommence transportation of the web after the web is humidified by the web humidifier. The control section may also cause the web humidifier to stop humidification of the web after the web humidifier starts humidification of the web and a predetermined duration elapses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a screw feeding/fastening unit of a continuous screw fastening device which enables assuredly pulling screws out of a screw strip in tandem with a screw fastening operation even in case of using the screws each of which has, e.g., a flat shape below its head portion.

Abstract: A printer terminal that is connected to a delivery system includes a posting server that delivers contents data for printing a content to the printer terminal through the network; and a relay server that relays setup of a session between the posting server and the printer terminal based on a delivery request from the posting server through the network by using a signaling protocol; through the network.

Abstract: In a motor-driven steering apparatus structured such that a motor-driven steering assist unit is interposed between a steering shaft in a handle side and a wheel side steering member, and an input shaft connected to the steering shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit and an output shaft connected to the wheel side steering member are coupled by a torsion bar and arranged on the same center axis, reference angle position marks are applied to portions existing at the same angle position around the same center axis of the input shaft and the output shaft, in a neutral steering state in which a steering force is not applied to the input shaft of the motor-driven steering assist unit.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an aromatic thiophenol represented by the formula (I): Yn—Ar—(SH)m(I), wherein Ar represents an aromatic hydrocarbon; Y represents at least one substituent bonded to a carbon atom constituting the aromatic ring of Ar, which substituent is selected from the group consisting of halogen, nitro, nitrile, sulfone, sulfamoyl and hydrocarbylsulfonyl groups; m is an integer of 1 or more; and n is an integer of 1 or more, which comprises (a) reacting an aromatic thioether represented by the formula (II): Yn—Ar—(SR)m(II), wherein R represents a monovalent secondary or tertiary hydrocarbyl, or a monovalent primary hydrocarbyl group represented by the formula: —CH2—R1 or —CH2—CR2═C (R2)2, wherein R1 represents a monovalent aromatic ring group optionally substituted by a monovalent hydrocarbyl group, and each of R2 is the same or different from each other and represents hydrogen or a monovalent hydrocarbyl group, with (A) a Lewis acid in

Abstract: A cassette storage container for covering a tape cassette, the container having a case body formed by a plastic resin sheet of transparent or semi-transparent material which comprises a multiplicity of projections in the form of ribs or verrucae formed on the inner face of the case body for providing a rough surface and an opaque layer formed on the outer surface of the case body, the area of the opaque layer being at most covering the entire surface area of the outer surface of the container except for at least the portion corresponding to a label of the tape cassette put in its stored position in the container so as to define a display window for displaying the label of the tape cassette.

Abstract: A method for detecting amino acid derivatives in which 2-anilino-5-thiazolinone derivatives of amino acids are reacted with radioactive iodine siotope-labeled amino compounds or with fluorescent amino compounds to form phenylthiocarbamyl amino acid derivatives. The phenylthiocarbamyl amino acid derivatives are detected with a high level of sensitivity by a radioactive detector or a fluorescence spectrophotometer.
