  • Patent number: 9234080
    Abstract: There is disclosed a conductive resin composition, comprising: (a) a resin component, and (b) a fine carbon fiber dispersed in the resin component, wherein a graphite-net plane consisting solely of carbon atoms forms a temple-bell-shaped structural unit comprising closed head-top part and body-part with open lower-end, 2 to 30 of the temple-bell-shaped structural units are stacked sharing a common central axis to form an aggregate, and the aggregates are connected in head-to-tail style with a distance to form the fiber. The resin composition has high conductivity while maintaining the original physical properties of the resin.

  • Patent number: 9103052
    Abstract: A novel fine carbon fiber produced by vapor growth, in which a graphite-net plane consisting of carbon atoms alone forms a temple-bell-shaped structural unit including a closed head-top part and a body-part with an open lower-end, in which an angle ? formed by a generatrix of the body-part and a fiber axis is less than 15°, 2 to 30 of the temple-bell-shaped structural units are stacked sharing a central axis to form an aggregate, and the aggregates are connected head-to-tail with a distance to form a fiber. Fine short carbon fibers with excellent dispersibility can be obtained by shortening the fine carbon fiber.

  • Patent number: 8541615
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a biphenyltetracarboxylic acid ester by oxidative coupling a phthalic acid ester by using a catalyst comprising at least a palladium salt, a copper salt and a ?-dicarbonyl compound in the presence of a molecular oxygen, wherein the ?-dicarbonyl compound is supplied into a reaction mixture liquid intermittently at an interval of less than 30 minutes, or continuously. This method allows, in particular, the selective and economical production of an asymmetric biphenyltetracarboxylic acid tetraester such as 2,3,3?,4?-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid tetraester.

  • Publication number: 20110084507
    Abstract: An engagement fitting comprises a hook that is integrally formed from a metal rod member. The rod member is bent into a generally U-shaped configuration. Bases then can be bent at approximately right angles at base ends of a pair of legs of the generally U-shaped hook. The bases extend to opposite sides from one another across a plane that is generally defined by the U-shaped configuration. The base is formed at least partially flat and can be provided with attachments such that the engagement fitting can be mounted on other members.
