  • Patent number: 8153732
    Abstract: A biaxially oriented polyphenylene sulfide film contains polyphenylene sulfide and polyether imide, wherein the contents of the polyphenylene sulfide and the polyether imide are 70 to 99 parts by weight and 1 to 30 parts by weight respectively when the total amount of the polyphenylene sulfide and the polyether imide is taken as 100 parts by weight, and further contains a compound having one or more groups selected from an epoxy group, an amino group and an isocyanate group as a compatibilizing agent in an amount of 0.1 to 10 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyphenylene sulfide and polyether imide in total, and the polyether imide forms a dispersed phase with an average particle diameter of 10 to 500 nm and the biaxially oriented polyphenylene sulfide film exhibits a tensile elongation at break of 110 to 250% in both the longitudinal direction and width direction.

  • Patent number: 6867226
    Abstract: This invention provides a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor partial activator which has a serotonin 5-HT3 receptor activating action, in addition to its serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonism, and does not cause constipation as a side effect. Particularly, based on the finding that newly synthesized benzoxazole derivatives typified by the compounds of the following formula (2) have strong serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonism and serotonin 5-HT3 receptor activating action, this invention provides these benzoxazole derivatives as serotonin 5-HT3 receptor partial activators.

  • Patent number: 6695710
    Abstract: The training device is comprised of two vertically mounted separated rods, which are connected by two strings. The vertically erected rods have two component structures, namely a base rod subsection and a height adjustable rod subsection. Each rod comes with a rotatable hook that can be mounted in slits to hook to the two strings. The rods are equipped with a bubble level on their top to adjust for a perpendicular mounting position. The ball is placed on the ground immediately under the lower one of two strings which serve as a sightline by which the direction of the swing of the putter is defined and to which the striking face of the putter is perpendicularly maintained.

  • Publication number: 20020123392
    Abstract: Disclosed is a golf club shaft of sheet-wound construction that approximates the characteristics of a steel shaft. The golf club shaft is formed using metal-containing prepreg and non-metal fiber prepreg in order to provide a sheet-wound club having an elasticity index (EI) value of 3.0˜4.5 kgf·m2, a mass 80˜130 g, and a center of mass that is 45˜51% of the overall length of the shaft. The metal-containing prepreg is wrapped around a mandrel near the tip of the shaft in order to position the center of mass where desired. The non-metal fiber prepreg is wrapped around the mandrel to provide the desired EI value and overlal mass. Additional layers of metal-containing prepreg may be wrapped beyond the metal-containing prepreg wrapped near the tip in order to vary the characteristics of the golf club shaft. The golf club shaft is preferably formed on a mandrel that includes an annular recess at its tip in order to accommodate the metal-containing prepreg that is wrapped near the tip.
