Abstract: A method for producing a rubber composition may include: mixing modified silica (B), pre-prepared by surface treatment of unmodified silica, with a modified conjugated diene-based polymer (A) and a polymer having crystalline character (C). A crosslinked product may be produced through crosslinking a rubber composition obtained from such a method. The crosslinked product may be used for producing a tire including a tread and a sidewall, wherein at least one of the tread and the sidewall is formed of the crosslinked product.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a fiberboard manufacturing method that is suitable for efficiently manufacturing a fiberboard in which warpage is suppressed, and to provide a fiberboard that is obtained by such a fiberboard manufacturing method. [Solution] The fiberboard manufacturing method of the present invention includes the following pulp crushing step S1, mat forming step S2, and hot-pressing step S3. In the pulp crushing step S1, pulp dispersed in water is beaten in a gap between opposed blades to thereby produce a plant-based fiber material that has a particle size D50 of 50 to 110 ?m and a freeness value of 150 to 300 ml and that contains an adhesive component. In the mat forming step S2, a mat is formed from the plant-based fiber material. In the hot-pressing step S3, by hot-pressing the mat, a fiberboard is formed from the mat through a process of plasticizing the adhesive component in the mat.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling mass filtering of polyatomic ions in an ion beam passing through an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS). Polyatomic ion mass data representative of the exact mass of a polyatomic ion having a target isotope is determined. A control signal is generated based on the determined polyatomic ion mass data and output to an ICP-MS to filter based on mass the polyatomic ions in the ion beam traveling through the ICP-MS to an ion detector.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing a pneumatic tire that exhibits better uniformity by improving the wire wound body for constituting the bead core. The pneumatic tire 1 comprises a bead core 5 comprising a wire wound body 10 in which one bead wire 10a is spirally wound in a continuous around a tire rotational axis CL so that a plurality of layers of the bead wire are formed in a radial direction of the tire. The wire wound body 10 comprises a first part 13 and a second part 14. The first part 13 comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending with a constant radius from the tire rotational axis CL. The second part comprises a plurality of layers of the bead wire 10a each circumferentially extending while changing its radius from the tire rotational axis CL.

The memory configured to store a task management table associating a processing task executed for a medical image with state information representing whether or not the processing task has been executed. The processing circuitry configured to extract, from the task management table, state information that is associated with a processing task for a medical image requested to be displayed, and display, based on the extracted state information, information indicative of whether or not a processing task has been executed for the requested medical image.

Abstract: A run-flat tire comprises a tread portion, sidewall portions, bead portions, and a carcass ply extending between the bead portions. The sidewall portions are each provided therein with a sidewall reinforcing rubber layer having a crescent-shaped cross sectional shape and disposed on the axially inside of the carcass ply. The sidewall portions are each provided in the axially outer surface thereof with a rim protector which projects radially outward most on the radially outside of the radially inner edge of the sidewall reinforcing rubber layer. The bead portions are each provided therein with an axially inside core and an axially outside core between which each radially inner edge portion of the carcass ply is secured. When measured along a normal line drawn normally to the carcass ply from an apex of the rim protector, the thickness of the sidewall reinforcing rubber layer is in a range of from 29% to 35% of the thickness of the tire.
