The wax is preferably present in an amount of 65 to 95% by weight. The biodegradable polymer preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 or higher. The polymer is preferably polyisoprene or natural rubber and is preferably present in an amount of 5 to 35% by weight.

Abstract: A process of producing a wax composition mainly comprising a wax, including the step of mixing the wax and a component to be mixed with the wax by applying an external force at a temperature lower than the melting completion temperature of the wax.

Abstract: A biodegradable film having a biodegradable moisture barrier layer between two biodegradable resin layers. The moisture barrier layer is preferably made mainly of a biodegradable wax. The moisture barrier layer preferably contains the biodegradable wax and a biodegradable, heat-resistant polymer. The polymer is preferably natural rubber or polyisoprene.

Abstract: A method of producing a pulp molded article comprising the steps of assembling splits (10, 11) each having a suction passageway and a papermaking screen (5) into a papermaking mold (1), filling the cavity of the papermaking mold (1) with a pulp slurry, discharging the liquid component of the pulp slurry through the suction passageway to deposit pulp fiber on the inner side of the papermaking screen (5) into an undried wet molded article, and dewatering the undried molded article deposited on the inner side of the papermaking screen (5), wherein the splits (10, 11) each have a large number of flow passageways (2) for feeding a purging fluid for cleaning the papermaking screen (5), and the purging fluid is ejected from the outer side of the papermaking screen (5) toward the cavity through the flow passageways (2) during the filling with the pulp slurry.

Abstract: A papermaking mold which includes a papermaking part of a prescribed shape, a peripheral part extending outward from the peripheral edge of the papermaking part, and a net covering the papermaking part and at least part of the peripheral part. A fixing member is disposed on the periphery of the net, and the fixing member is fixed to the peripheral part to fix the net by the fixing member.

Abstract: A supporting device is provided for supporting disc stockers in a case of a disc changer. Each of the disc stockers stores a plurality of discs. A lock device is mounted on each of side walls of the disc stocker. The lock device comprises a lock lever slidably mounted on the side wall and having a locking hook, and a manually operated release lever. The locking hook is provided to engage with a pin provided on the case so as to lock the disc stocker. The release lever is arranged to release the lock lever from the pin.

Abstract: A receiver converts an echo received by a transducer to a supersonic echo signal, and a controller measures the depth of obstacles depending on a timing for receiving the supersonic echo signal, obtains an echo level according to quantity of the supersonic echo signal, and determines the condition of the bottom depending on echo levels of a series of supersonic echo signals. A display unit provides a result of detection at a position of corresponding depth scale on a first display area for providing graphic displays of the obstacles as well as the bottom with a depth scale with a gradation or a pattern type corresponding to the echo level. Graphic displays of the echo level are also provided at a position corresponding to depth on a second display area having graphic displays corresponding to depth scale in the first display area.

Abstract: This invention relates to a polymerization reaction apparatus which is composed of a vertical cylindrical vessel, a rotating shaft inside the vessel, a plurality of agitating blades attached to the shaft, and a large number of plate-like heat transfer elements attached to the inner wall of the vessel, disposed radially between the agitating blades, and internally equipped with a passage for a heat transfer fluid, and in which apparatus a polymerizing mass passes through a gap between the rotating shaft, the agitating blades, and a large number of the plate-like heat transfer elements and exchanges heat with a heat transfer fluid circulating inside the plate-like heat transfer elements, effecting uniform removal of the reaction heat or uniform heating of the polymerizing mass and preventing vertical mixing.

Abstract: A method whereby slip is applied for providing an enamel coating to interior surfaces of a tank such as a heat exchanger of a hot water boiler, electric water heater and the like fabricated beforehand as by welding. In this method, a larger amount of slip than that actually required for applying the slip coating to the interior surfaces of the tank is introduced into the tank to be applied thereto with the tank being rotated, and the excess slip which has not been applied to the surfaces is forcedly drained from the tank at a rate higher than the rate at which the slip moves relative to the enameled surfaces and which moving rate is determined by the liquid level of the slip within the tank and the size of a discharge port, so that an enamel coating of a desired thickness can be formed on the interior surfaces of the tank. In order to forcedly drain the excess slip from the tank, pneumatic pressure is supplied to the interior of the tank prior to slip application.
