Abstract: Disclosed is a fluorine-containing copolymer having, as an essential component, a repeating unit derived from (a) a monomer having a fluoroalkyl group or a fluoroalkenyl group, (b) a monomer having an alkylene oxide group, (c) a monomer having an acetoacetyl group, (d) a monomer having a —CH(OH)—CH2—Cl group, and (e) a monomer having a —CH(OH)—CH2—OH group. In this fluorine-containing copolymer, the amounts of the monomer (a), the monomer (b), the monomer (c), the monomer (d) and the monomer (e) are 30-80 parts by weight, 1-30 parts by weight, 0.5-20 parts by weight, 0.5-20 parts by weight and 0.5-20 parts by weight, respectively. This fluorine-containing copolymer provides a base material such as a fiber product with excellent alcohol repellency, oil repellency, antifouling properties and soil release properties, while maintaining washing durability. This fluorine-containing copolymer serves as an active ingredient for a fluorine-containing fiber processing agent having soil release properties.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion type fluorine-containing water- and oil-repellent composition containing a polymer of a perfluoroalkyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer dispersed in an aqueous medium. The composition also contains a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of at most 11 and a cationic surfactant. A homopolymer of at least one monomer constituting the polymer has Tg of at most 50° C.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a fluorine-containing copolymer composition wherein a fluorine-containing copolymer is produced by polymerizing 1-99 weight % of a monomer mixture (A) containing a polymerizable monomer having a fluoroalkyl group and a polymerizable monomer having a hydrophilic group in the presence of 1-99 weight % of a surfactant (B) containing a surfactant having an oxyalkylene group. The total amount of the monomer mixture (A) and the surfactant (B) is not less than 80 weight % of the polymerization system.

Abstract: An electronic component housing package includes a base body made of a metal; a rectangular frame body made of a metal; an input/output terminal made of insulating material, which has line conductor for electrically conductively connecting the interior and exterior of the frame body; and an input/output terminal mounting portion, into which input/output terminal is fitted and which is formed as a notch extending across two adjacent corners of a frame body's lower part. The input/output terminal is so configured that its opposed end-face pair at two corners are made flush with opposed outer-side-surface pair including two corners of frame body, and that metal layer is applied to both of a part of an input/output terminal's end-face extending along the mounting portion and another part thereof extending along the base body.

Abstract: A textile having high fluorine adhesion rate, and excellent water- and oil-repellency can be obtained by a method of producing a treated textile, comprising steps of: (1) preparing a treatment liquid comprising a water- and oil-repellent agent which comprises at least one fluorine-containing compound selected from the group consisting of a fluorine-containing polymer or a fluorine-containing low molecular weight compound, (2) adjusting pH of the treatment liquid to at most 7, (3) applying the treatment liquid to a textile, (4) treating the textile with steam, and (5) washing the textile with water and dehydrating the textile, wherein the treatment liquid comprises a water-soluble cationic polymer.

Abstract: Excellent water- and oil-repellency performances resulting from low temperature curing are achieved by an aqueous dispersion type fluorine-containing water- and oil-repellent composition containing a polymer of a perfluoroalkyl group-containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer dispersed in an aqueous medium, wherein the composition contains a nonionic surfactant having an HLB value of at most 11 and a cationic surfactant, and a homopolymer of at lest one monomer constituting the polymer has Tg of at most 50° C.

Abstract: The home gateway HGW (1) includes a communication section (31), an authentication function section (32), a directory management function section (33), and a communication path setting function section (34). The communication section (31) receives data transmitted to the HGW (1). The authentication function section (32) authenticates the aforementioned data to be from an authorized user or not. Responsive to a service registration, the directory management function section (33) registers service information, checks the matching between the service information and service permission policies, and requests the communication path setting function section (34) to set a communication path. The communication path setting function section (34) monitors the state of data communication along the communication paths, and closes any unnecessary communication paths that may have been set.

Abstract: A flow control device constructed at a switch device for connecting a plurality of ring networks for exchanging data of a cell among the ring networks. A user device for transmitting a cell carrying data is connected to each ring network, and it can transmit cells within a window counter number.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for effecting injection molding of plastic resin products on an injection molding apparatus including a metal mold composed of a slidable mold element and a fixed mold element defining together the mold cavity, an actuator for sliding the slidable mold element and an injection nozzle for adjusting the nozzle flow path section, which comprises a first molding step of injecting a molten resin into the mold cavity which has been preset by the slidable mold element so as to include a post-compression margin to be compressed afterwards in a second molding step, to effect the injection under a reduced molding pressure, while causing a temperature elevation and, thus, a viscosity reduction of the molten resin, until the mold cavity has been filled up, and a second molding step of compressing the resin so charged in the mold cavity by operating the slidable mold element to compress the charged resin to compensate the post-compression margin, so as to allow an effective pressing force to be imp

Abstract: Disclosed is a data transmission unit for use in a system wherein data to be transmitted is organized into packets which may be assigned one of four states: idle, occupied, released, or reset. Or these packets may be assigned one of three states: idle, occupied, or released, each state being able to include a reset bit. Each unit has terminals associated therewith and is assigned two windows on the number of packets it may transmit. One window is a parameter for transmitting data by using idle packets and the other is by using released packets. The unit responds to the state of a received packet, the state of the windows, and the presence or absence of transmit data to control whether the packet transmitted out of the unit is a packet from internal transforming buffers, a released packet from a released cell producing circuit, an occupied packet containing data from the unit's own terminals.

Abstract: A packet communications network for transmitting data between nodes by the use of cell slots circulating the network includes a center node inserted in the ring network for sequentially generating, at a selected rate, first and second types of cell slots interleavingly for transmitting first and second types of data, respectively. Each cell slot has a type code for identifying either one of the first and second types, and a status code for identifying the different status of the cells. Each node detects whether the received cell is the first type or the second type. If the received cell is the first type, it is used for transmitting the connection-oriented data under MARS system. If the received cell is the second type, it is used for transmitting the connectionless data under ATMR system.
