Abstract: A mount board has a plurality of terminals electrically connected to a plurality of pins of a semiconductor device, and a conductor pattern. An electrostatic withstand voltage test device includes a metal plate on which the mount board is installed, a power supply for applying a voltage to the metal plate, an insulator disposed between the metal plate and the mount board, a switch circuit connected between the terminals and ground wiring, and a controller for controlling the switch circuit. The switch circuit includes a plurality of first switches provided corresponding to the terminals and each connecting a corresponding terminal to the ground wiring. The controller turns on at least one first switch selected from the first switches when an electric charge stored in the conductor pattern is discharged to the ground wiring through the semiconductor device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to (1) a process for producing a hydroxyalkyl cellulose having an excellent water-solubility while maintaining a high reaction selectivity by adding a basic compound and an alkyleneoxide to a cellulose to conduct a reaction therebetween in which the basic compound is added in a total amount of from 0.3 to 1.5 mol per 1 mol of an anhydroglucose unit in the cellulose, and the alkyleneoxide is added in a total amount of from 1.0 to 3.

Abstract: A production method of a cationized cellulose or a cationized hydroxyalkylcellulose, including step 1 for adding a cationizing agent to cellulose and mechanically decrystallizing the cellulose and step 2 for adding a basic compound to the mixture obtained in step 1 and mechanically decrystallizing the cellulose, or a production method of a cationized cellulose or a cationized hydroxyalkylcellulose, including a step 3 for adding a basic compound to cellulose and mechanically decrystallizing the cellulose and step 4 for adding a cationizing agent to the mixture obtained in step 3 and mechanically decrystallizing the cellulose. The cellulose and the cationizing agent are allowed to react with each other in step 2 or step 4.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a cationic hydroxypropyl cellulose including the step of reacting a low-crystalline powdery cellulose with a cationizing agent represented by the following general formula (1) and/or a cationizing agent represented by the following general formula (2), and propylene oxide in the presence of water in an amount of from 10 to 60% by mass on the basis of the low-crystalline powdery cellulose, and a catalyst: wherein R1 to R3 are each independently a linear or branched hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and X and Z are each a halogen atom and may be the same or different from each other.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engagement chain type driving device including a pair of driving sprockets, which rotate positively and reversely in opposite directions about a pair of rotating shafts, a pair of engagement chains, which engage with each other by the pair of driving sprockets so to be integrated together, and a driving source, which drives the pair of driving sprockets, wherein the engagement chain includes inner tooth plates and outer tooth plates, which each include buckling limiting flat surfaces, the inner tooth plates and outer tooth plates being brought opposite to each other and into contact with each other when the engagement chains are integrated by the pair of driving sprockets, such that the flat surfaces hold the chain engagement position.

Abstract: An engagement chain in which a buckling strength of a pair of engagement chains engaged with each other is improved without blocking engagement operations between inner tooth plates and between outer tooth plate. The chain includes inner tooth plates, bushes, outer tooth plates and connecting pins. Buckling limiting flat surfaces of adjoining plates are brought into surface contact with each other when opposing segments of the chain are integrated together by driving sockets.
