Abstract: A silicon composite comprises silicon particles whose surface is at least partially coated with a silicon carbide layer. It is prepared by subjecting a silicon powder to thermal CVD with an organic hydrocarbon gas and/or vapor at 900-1,400° C., and heating the powder for removing an excess free carbon layer from the surface through oxidative decomposition.

Abstract: Silicon composite particles are prepared by sintering primary fine particles of silicon, silicon alloy or silicon oxide together with an organosilicon compound. Sintering of the organosilicon compound results in a silicon-base inorganic compound which serves as a binder. Each particle has the structure that silicon or silicon alloy fine particles are dispersed in the silicon-base inorganic compound binder, and voids are present within the particle.

Abstract: A setting area is stored in association with the external shape of a knitted fabric, and the setting area is altered as the external shape is altered. A unit pattern is vertically copied repeatedly in the setting area. When setting patterns exist on both sides of the boundary between front and rear knitted fabrics, the boundary being a start point of circumferential formation, the setting pattern on the start section side is shifted upward by one course. The range for providing the setting pattern therein can be altered automatically when the external shape of the knitted fabric is altered. Furthermore, the setting pattern does not become discontinuous in a course direction at the boundary between the front and rear knitted fabrics.

Abstract: A resistive paste is made by a mixture of a conductive metal powder which is made by mixing 85 to 94 percent by weight of copper powder, 5 to 10 percent by weight of manganese powder, and 1 to 5 percent by weight of tin powder; a mixture of 3 to 7 percent by weight of glass powder and 3 to 7 percent by weight of copper-oxide powder relative to the entire amount of said conductive metal powder; and 7 to 15 percent by weight of vehicle relative to the entire amount of the conductive metal powder and the mixture. The resistive paste is then sintered, and the resistive composition having the low resistance value and low TCR may be obtained. In addition, a resistor is made by forming the resistive element upon a substrate.

Abstract: A method of forming gussets in armpits of knitwear in the process of joining together sleeves and a body of the knitwear to form a tubular body, while reducing the tubular body in diameter from the underarms toward the shoulders to form armholes.
