Abstract: At least one resin selected from the group consisting of aromatic polycarbonates and polyarylates has a bond between polymer chains formed by Diels-Alder reaction.

Abstract: A check valve (100) has a valve seat (20), and a valve disc (30) which closes the valve seat (20) in an openable/closable manner by linear reciprocating oscillation in the direction approaching or departing away from the valve seat (20), the check valve (100) being configured, as a lift-type check valve, to allow therein the inflow direction (D1) of a fluid (F) flowing into the valve seat (20) and the passing direction (D2) of the fluid (F) passing through the valve disc (30) to cross each other, the valve disc (30) being provided with, on the inflow side (primary side) thereof, a deflection surface (40) on which the fluid (F) is deflected from the inflow direction (D1) to the passing direction (D2).

Abstract: To provide a device for refining a solid material and a process for refining it, whereby from the supply of the material to the operation for recovery of crystals can be carried out batch-wisely or continuously, and inclusion of foreign matters such as particles can be efficiently prevented. A device for refining an evaporable or sublimable solid material, which comprises a housing, and at least one rotatable roller for evaporation and at least one rotatable roller for precipitation, installed in the housing.

Abstract: Piping support of a gas turbine steam cooled combustor is improved such that even when the piping support is damaged by combustion vibration, dropping of the piping support from the piping is prevented, so as to avoid intrusion of fractions of the piping support into turbine portion. An outer fitting member is fixed to a wall surface of a tail tube by welds. A ring is pinched inside the outer fitting member to be fixed by welds. The ring having an inner diameter slightly larger than an outer diameter of steam piping is fitted around the steam piping to be fixed by welds at three places. The steam piping is fixed to the ring, the ring is fixed to the outer fitting member and the outer fitting member is fixed to the tail tube. Thus, the steam piping is supported to the tail tube and even when the welds are detached by combustion vibration, no case of the outer fitting member dropping from the steam piping occurs.

Abstract: A process for purifying a polyether, which comprises adding to a polyether (A) containing a first salt, water (B) and a compound (C) which is capable of reacting with an ion constituting the first salt to form a second salt which is essentially insoluble in the polyether (A), then removing water, followed by removing the second salt from the polyether (A).

Abstract: This invention relates to a fluorine-containing copolymer which contains a fluoroolefin unit, a vinyl ester or vinyl ether unit, and a hydroxyl group-containing vinyl ether unit in amounts of from 40 to 60 mol%, from 25 to 55 mol% and from 5 to 25 mol%, respectively, and has an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.01 to 0.05 d.lambda./g as measured in an uncured state at 30.degree. C. in tetrahydrofuran, and the ratio of a weight-average molecular weight and a number-average molecular weight measured by a gel permeation chromatography being not more than 2.0, and a process for its production. The fluorine-containing copolymer of the present invention is excellent in weatherability, retains good coatability even if used as a high solid coating, and provide a coating film excellent in clarity.
