Abstract: The present invention provides a stretched laminate film with oxygen-gas barrier properties which includes a layer (a) formed from a composition of a polycarboxylate-based polymer (A) and a plasticizer (B), a layer (c) containing a multivalent metal compound (C) and a layer (b) formed from a thermoplastic resin, which film includes at least one layer forming unit where the layer (a) and the layer (c) are adjacent to each other, and in which film at least the layer (a) and the layer (b) are stretched with a surface stretch ratio of 1.1 to 100. By means of carrying out an applying step and a stretching step according to a production method of the present invention, the layer formed from the polycarboxylate-based polymer including the plasticizer can be made thinner, although making the layer thinner has been difficult to achieve as long as only the application is carried out.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for producing a thermoplastic resin continuous laminated sheet are provided. The continuous laminated sheet has at least one thermoplastic resin continuous film laminated on a thermoplastic resin continuous sheet by heat welding, and can be produced by a method comprising extruding a heat-fused thermoplastic resin continuously to be in a sheet form; rolling the extruded resin to form a thermoplastic resin continuous sheet; heating at least one lamination surface of the sheet while flatly holding the sheet; and laminating at least one thermoplastic resin continuous film onto the heated sheet.

Abstract: A process for producing fresh three-layered noodles by: preparing an outer-layer dough by kneading grain flour with water; preparing an inner-layer dough by adding, to grain flour, (a) at least one alkaline agent and (b) an alginic acid compound selected from the group consisting of an alginic acid, an alginic acid salt, and mixtures thereof, and kneading with water; preparing dough sheets from each of the inner-layer and the outer-layer dough through rolling of said inner- and outer-layer dough, and rolling the obtained dough sheets to make a layered dough sheet of an outer-layer/inner-layer/outer-layer structure; preparing noodle strands by cutting the layered dough sheet having such three-layer structure, and gelatinizing the noodle strands; and treating the gelatinized noodle strands with a solution of one or more acids to acidify the noodle strands.

Abstract: A method for filling the noodles into a fry retainer during the production of the noodles, wherein the noodles are disentangled and are uniform so that the frying of the noodles is entirely and uniformly carried out without maldistribution from the outside of the brick to the center thereof, and the noodles are given a fine quality and form. Noodles having a fixed length are placed into the fry retainer and a pressure member creates downward pressure on the noodles in the retainer.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a printing plate which comprises an aluminum base and a photoconductive layer on which a toner image is formed, comprises a rotary brush which is arranged so as to be kept in contact with a processing solution and out of contact with a printing plate. The processing solution supplied on the plate surface is regulated to form an even thick flow.

Abstract: A liquid developing apparatus used for electrophotography comprising a passage for feeding developing solution which is formed between a main electrode plate and an auxiliary electrode plate facing to each other so that a photosensitive sheet having an electrostatic latent image is developed in the passage, wherein at least a surface of the auxiliary electrode plate facing to the back side of the photosensitive sheet is formed into a roughened surface.

Abstract: A liquid developing apparatus for electrophotograph in which an electrostatic latent image surface of a photoconductive material is confronted with developing electrodes and at the same time is transferred in the liquid toner to be developed, the developing apparatus characterized by comprising a developing chamber defined by a bottom plate held substantially in a horizontal position or slanted with a downstream side in the photoconductive material transferring direction being kept at a lower level, developing electrodes facing the bottom plate at predetermined intervals and forming ceiling plates and side plates, the developing chamber being divided into a front section and a rear section with respect to the photoconductive material transferring direction, an interval between the developing electrode in the front section of the developing chamber and the electrostatic latent image surface being smaller than that between the developing electrode in the rear section of the developing chamber and the electrosta

Abstract: The surface of a plastic substrate is effectively vapor plated with a metal by coating said surface with a coating composition comprising the following components dissolved in a solvent prior to the vapor plating: (A) (i) a co-partial hydrolysis product of an organosiloxane compound of the formula: R.sub.n Si(OR').sub.4-n (wherein n is an integer of 1 to 3, R is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R' is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms) and a tetraalkoxysilane, or (ii) a mixture of each partial hydrolysis product of said organosiloxane compound and said tetraalkoxysilane, or (iii) a mixture of said co-partial hydrolysis product (i) and said mixture of each partial hydrolysis product (ii), the amount of the partial hydrolysis product of said tetraalkoxysilane (calculated as SiO.sub.2) being 5 to 100 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight of the partial hydrolysis product of said organosiloxane compound (calculated as R.sub.n SiO.sub.

Abstract: Synthetic resin articles to be printed, plated or coated are cleaned prior thereto by carrying the articles into a cleaning zone where they are contacted with an aqueous detergent solution which is allowed to flow upward and to which an ultrasonic wave is applied, carrying the articles from the cleaning zone to a rinsing zone where they are contacted with warm water which is allowed to flow upward, carrying the articles from the rinsing zone to a dipping zone to contact them with more fresh warm water which is allowed to flow upward, and then pulling the articles up slowly from the dipping zone to drain off the water attached to the articles.
