Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a conveyor chain conveying a conveyance object such as a bucket while the conveyance object is mounted thereon, wherein the conveyance object can be conveyed to a predetermined position while both the conveyance object and the receiving member are not damaged by “biting” or “hooking” at upstream or downstream end in a conveying direction. An upstream tapered surface and a downstream tapered surface, which reduce the thickness of the receiving member gradually along the extended direction, are formed respectively at sides in the extended direction of a mounting surface of the receiving member. A locus of the mounting surface in a case in which the conveyor chain is meshed with and wound onto a sprocket is within a circle which is coaxial to the sprocket and whose tangent is a straight locus of the mounting surface in a case of conveying a bucket (conveyance object).

Abstract: The present invention provides an active energy ray curable aqueous resin composition prepared by reacting an acrylic resin (A), a polyisocyanate compound (B), and (meth)acrylate (C) having a hydroxyl group and dispersing the reaction product in an aqueous medium, the resin (A) being produced by copolymerizing an acrylic monomer (a1) having a polyoxyalkylene group, an acrylic monomer (a2) having a hydroxyl group, and an acrylic monomer (a3) other than the acrylic monomer (a1) and the acrylic monomer (a2) as essential raw materials. The active energy ray curable aqueous resin composition has excellent storage stability and forms a cured coating film with a good appearance and high adhesion to a substrate even after immersion in hot water, and thus can be desirably used for an active energy ray curable aqueous coating material.

Abstract: In the IR (Inversion Recovery) method, to observe a phenomenon in which a nuclear spin returns to a steady state, a 90-degree pulse is irradiated after a lapse of time ? after finishing applying a 180-degree pulse. An FID signal starts being processed after a lapse of reception delay time Dd after finishing applying the 90-degree pulse. Among the FID signals from protons in a plurality of environments in a solid sample, an FID signal high in time-dependent attenuation rate almost disappears during the lapse of reception delay time Dd. Therefore, an FID signal of a proton in an environment intended to be measured can be easily selected and extracted from FID signals of other protons.
