  • Publication number: 20240051192
    Abstract: A cover (5) of an electronic device has side walls (8) and a ceiling wall (9), and is molded by injection molding using a mold. The ceiling wall (9) has a flat plate shape. Disk-shaped thick portions (21) that locally protrude inward so as to be relatively thicker than an adjacent normal portion of the ceiling wall (9) are provided at a plurality of positions of the ceiling wall (9) corresponding to respective positions of ejection by ejection pins (25). Although a circular dent (22) is formed at a middle of the thick portion (21) due to the thick portion (21) being pressed by a tip of the ejection pin (25), even at this dent (22) portion, a thickness equal to or greater than that of the normal portion of the ceiling wall (9) is secured.

  • Publication number: 20230037858
    Abstract: An addition condensation product, i.e., an addition condensation product of an aromatic compound with a carbonyl compound, is obtained as a condensation reaction product in the state of uniform solution or the like, in which clumping caused by agglomeration of the condensation product of the aromatic compound with the carbonyl compound can be prevented by the presence of a surfactant at the time of the condensation reaction. In addition, a coating solution prepared by using an original solution or an adjusted solution whose viscosity is 2.0 mPa·s or greater exhibits an excellent polymer scale adhesion inhibition effect when applied to an inner wall and the like of a polymerization vessel; and in addition, a low-accumulative coating film is formed when the solution is applied to an inner wall and the like of a polymerization vessel.
