  • Publication number: 20180244108
    Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire of the present technology has a belt reinforcing layer and a tread rubber. The belt reinforcing layer comprises a composite fiber cord having one aromatic polyamide fiber cord and one aliphatic polyamide fiber cord twisted therein. A total fineness of the composite fiber cords is from 1800 to 3200 dtex and an elongation under a load of 2.0 cN/dtex is from 3.0 to 4.0%. A rubber composition constituting the tread rubber is formed by compounding from 10 to 110 parts by weight of a silica having a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area of not less than 100 m2/g with 100 parts by weight of a diene rubber. A loss compliance of the rubber composition at 60° C. is not greater than 45 Pa?1.

  • Patent number: 9050857
    Abstract: A cord fabric is structured by weaving a weft yarn into a large number of warp yarn (2) disposed in parallel so that the weft yarn crosses the warp yarn at a coarse density. In the cord fabric, the warp yarn is a composite cord constituted of at least one aramid first twist yarn and one aliphatic polyamide first twist yarn, and the weft yarn is a spun yarn of meta system aramid fiber. The cord fabric is used as a strip material of a belt cover layer which is wound in a spiral pattern around an outer circumference of a belt layer of a pneumatic tire in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 7481264
    Abstract: A steam condenser which condenses steam exhausted from a steam turbine. Heat transfer tubes are arrayed below the steam turbine inside the container. Cooling medium flows inside the heat transfer tubes. The heat transfer tubes extend horizontally, and include at least two upper heat transfer tube groups and at least two lower heat transfer tube groups arranged with a gap between each other. Each heat transfer tube group is constituted by arraying heat transfer tubes like a grid. At a lower part between the lower heat transfer tube groups, a baffle plate which obstructs flow of steam extends horizontally. Between the upper and lower heat transfer tube groups, inter-tube-group inundation prevention plates extend horizontally. In each heat transfer tube group, an enclosure part extends to guide gas from the enclosure part to outside of the container through a gas extraction duct.
