Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a three dimensionally crosslinkable film-forming resin composition which process comprises irradiating an electron beam in an irradiation dose of from 0.1 to 40 Mrad onto a mixture of a film-forming resin with an alkoxysilane compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group for radical polymerization therebetween.

Abstract: A power steering gear has a variable restriction structure disposed along an oil passage between a control valve housed in a steering gear box and a power cylinder engaging a steering rack. The variable restriction increases the flow cross-section through the restricted oil passage between the control valve and the power cylinder as the hydraulic pressure in the control valve increases so as to reduce the required steering force when relatively hard steering is called for.

Abstract: A method for improving the adhesiveness of the surface of a synthetic polymeric substrate to coatings, which comprises coating the surface of the synthetic polymeric substrate with a photopolymerizable composition comprising (A) a hydrophilic resin obtained by the polymerization of a polymerizable unsaturated monomer composition containing at least 10% by weight of a hydrophilic unsaturated monomer, (B) a radical-polymerizable mono-unsaturated monomer and (C) a triplet state sensitizer having a triplet state energy of at least 50 Kcal/mole, and then irradiating actinic rays to the coated surface of the polymeric substrate.

Abstract: A method for producing a plate or sheet useful in planographic printing which comprises providing a substrate of an oleophilic resin having in the molecules thereof carbon-carbon double bonds and/or carbon atoms bonded with a single hydrogen atom in a total amount of not less than 0.05 mol/kg, contacting the substrate with a hydrophilic radical polymerizable compound and exposing the substrate contacted with the compound to actinic way to form a plate having a hydrophilic thin layer chemically combined with the substrate. The substrate may be mixed with conductive or semiconductive powder uniformly dispersed in the oleophilic resin so as to have a volume resistivity in the range of from 10.sup.-3 to 10.sup.8 ohm.cm. In doing so, an electrical printing plate making method which is very advantageous in easiness and usefulness is applicable to the plate or sheet for planographic printing according to the invention.
