Abstract: A polycarbonate resin includes a constituent unit (a) given by general formula (1-IA); a constituent unit (b) given by general formula (1-1A), but different from the constituent unit (a); a constituent unit (c-1) given by general formula (1-2A) or a constituent unit (c-2) given by general formula (3-1); and a constituent unit (d) given by general formula (2), wherein the content of the constituent unit (a) is 1-50 mol %, the content of the constituent unit (b) is 1-70 mol %, the content of the constituent unit (c-1) or (c-2) is 1-50 mol %, and the content of the constituent unit (d) is 1-30 mol %, in each case with reference to the total amount of the constituent units (a) to (d).

Abstract: A polyester carbonate resin includes a constituent unit (A) represented by the following general formula (1), a constituent unit (B) represented by the following general formula (2), and a constituent unit (i) derived from a dicarboxylic acid or a carboxylic acid diester represented by the following general formula (I).

Abstract: According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a polycarbonate resin composition which includes a structural unit (A) derived from a monomer represented by general formula (i) and a structural unit (B) derived from a monomer represented by general formula (ii), and in which the structural unit (A) and the structural unit (B) are contained at a mass ratio of structural unit (A): structural unit (B)=91:9 to 99:1. (In general formula (i), R represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms.) (In general formula (ii), R1, R2, R3, and R4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or the like, and Y1 and Y2 each independently represent an alkylene group having 1-4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Compounds and use of the compounds for formula (I) where X is selected from the group consisting of a single bond, O, N—(C1-C4)-alkyl, N—Ar1, CR5R6, S, S(O) and SO2; Z1 and Z2 are independently selected from hydrogen, -Alk-OH, —CH2—Ar2—CH2—OH, -Alk?-C(O)ORx, —CH2—Ar2—C(O)ORx and —C(O)—Ar2—C(O)ORx, where Rx is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, phenyl, benzyl and C1-C4-alkyl; R1 and R2 are independently selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted mono- or polycyclic aryl having from 6 to 26 carbon atoms as ring members and optionally substituted mono- or polycyclic hetaryl having a total of 5 to 26 atoms as ring members, R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C4-alkyl and a radical Ar1; R6 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-C4-alkyl; Alk is C2-C4-alkandiyl; provided that R1 and R2 are not both phenyl, if R3 and R4 are both hydrogen.

Abstract: A three-piece type oil ring assembly adapted to be fitted in an oil ring groove of a piston disposed within a cylinder comprises a spacer expander in the form of a gapped annulus made of section steel having substantially H-shaped radial cross section, and a pair of upper and lower side rails, each in the form of a gapped flat annulus. The spacer expander includes an axially protruding outer portion disposed on the outer circumference thereof and facing the inner surface of the cylinder, an axially protruding inner portion disposed on the inner circumference thereof and facing the innermost wall of the oil ring groove, and an axially flat connecting portion extending between the outer and inner protruding portions. The outer protruding portion has side rail supporting surfaces formed on the upper and lower ends thereof so as to be inclined toward the axially symmetrical centerline thereof along the radial direction at an acute angle with the radial direction.
