Abstract: The present invention provides a gas jetting apparatus for a film formation apparatus. The gas jetting apparatus is capable of uniformly jetting, even onto a treatment-target object having a high-aspect-ratio groove, a gas into the groove. The gas jetting apparatus (100) according to the present invention includes a gas jetting cell unit (23) for rectifying a gas and jetting the rectified gas into the film formation apparatus (200). The gas jetting cell unit (23) has a fan shape internally formed with a gap (d0) serving as a gas route. A gas in a gas dispersion supply unit (99) enters from a wider-width side of the fan shape into the gap (d0), and, due to the fan shape, the gas is rectified, accelerated, and output from a narrower-width side of the fan shape into the film formation apparatus (200).

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a dielectric-barrier discharge gas including a high-energy radical gas, at a high density and with high efficiency. A flat-plate-like first electrode and a flat-plate-like second electrode are arranged in opposite positions, and a dielectric body is arranged between the two electrodes. A discharge space is located between the first electrode and the dielectric body, within a gap between the first electrode and the dielectric body. The discharge space has three sides which are gas shielded and a fourth side which opens to end surfaces of the first electrode and the dielectric body. A cooling section cools at least the first electrode and a gas supply section supplies a raw material gas to the discharge space part. A dielectric-barrier discharge is generated in the discharge space part by applying an AC voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode.

Abstract: A thermoplastic elastomer blend, which comprises 15 to 85% by weight of a cross-linked acrylic rubber-dispersed polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer, and 85 to 15% by weight of a polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer, or which comprises 20 to 90% by weight of a cross-linked acrylic rubber-dispersed polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer, and 80 to 10% by weight of a polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer. The cross-linked acrylic rubber-dispersed polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer is used also as a blend with both of the polyester-based thermoplastic elastomer and the polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer. The thermoplastic elastomer blend is effectively used as joint boot-molding material, etc., having distinguished heat resistance and low temperature characteristics, applicable also to the joint boot inboard side.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reliably control chip, particularly that produced in profiling.

Abstract: A motorcycle has a cylinder bore that is vertically offset from a crankshaft. A camshaft also is vertically offset from the cylinder bore. The offsets decrease the vertical dimension of the engine. An air induction system approaches a cylinder head from the rear to limit the degree to which the induction system extends forward of the engine. By decreasing the envelope of the engine, more space is provided on the scooter-type motorcycle for a foot rest forward of the engine and a storage compartment above the engine.
