Abstract: A storage container for precision substrates comprising: an opening front face of a pod case for aligning and accommodating a plurality of wafers is covered with a pod door, a bottom plate attached to a bottom face of the pod case, and a pocket body integrally formed at the other end of the bottom plate and adjacent to the back face of the pod case in a standing condition. An identification plate for wafers is detachably inserted into the pocket. Since there is no need of peeling off an identification code seal from the storage container for precision substrates, contamination of the wafer can be prevented.

Abstract: This invention provides a wet process for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric, including the steps of: forming a fibrous web by supplying raw material fibers together with water onto a slope of a net-shaped wire conveyor band running on a plurality of rolls; completely forming a nonwoven fabric over the wire conveyor band by supplying water jets to the fibrous web over the wire conveyor band; transferring the formed nonwoven fabric from the wire conveyor band to another conveyor band; and drying the nonwoven fabric. Also disclosed is an apparatus using the wet nonwoven fabric manufacturing process.

Abstract: After laminating together the first sheets crepe-processed at a high crepe ratio and the second sheet crepe-processed at a crepe ratio lower than that of the first sheet or not crepe-processed, the sheets are bonded together at bonding parts at a given pitch in rows. When the resulting bonded sheets are impregnated with a liquid, expansions are generated between the rows of bonding parts due to the difference in ratios of the elongation of the two sheets. The expansions take on the shape of large wrinkle according to the pitch of the bonding parts. At the production process of the sheet, the sheet is crepe-processed containing water at a preset ratio, whereby small wrinkles as residual crepe wrinkles are formed on the sheet surface. The large wrinkles and the small wrinkles can enhance the wiping effect.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a modified methacrylic resin molding material, wherein a volatile component is removed from a methacrylic polymer composition containing a volatile component including an unreacted monomer, a solvent or a by-product, and a modifying polymer is added to the methacrylic polymer composition to prepare a modified molding material.

Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing tertiary butyl alcohol from isobutylene comprising reacting isobutylene or a hydrocarbon mixture containing isobutylene with an aqueous solution of an aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the presence of a solid, acidic ion-exchange resin as catalyst, to produce an aqueous reaction mixture of a major amount of tertiary butyl alcohol and a minor amount of the tertiary butyl ester of the carboxylic acid comprising the improved steps of:(1) subjecting said reaction mixture to distillation to remove unreacted isobutylene or hydrocarbon mixture therefrom;(2) supplying the treated reaction mixture of step (1) to a distillation column and passing water from the top to the bottom of said distillation column to remove said tertiary butyl ester of the carboxylic acid, wherein the amount of water used for removing the ester in step (2) is less than the sum of the amount of water used for converting said isobutylene into tertiary butyl alcohol and the amount of
