Abstract: A process for producing heterocyclic compounds which are useful as pesticides, drugs, fungicidal materials or intermediates thereof. TosMIC is reacted with an aldehyde or an imino compound: 1) in a solvent mixture of an aprotic solvent with a protic solvent in the presence of a base, 2) in the presence of a phase-transfer catalyst and an inorganic base, or 3) in the presence of an inorganic base. Thus, a desired product can be efficiently obtained using a solution without isolating TosMIC which is irritating and unstable, has a low decomposition point and shows explosivity.

Abstract: A method for bonding a plurality of non-magnetic members includes the steps of (1) mating the non-magnetic members via an uncured adhesive interposed between their surfaces to be bonded; (2) applying pressure to their mated portions between a pressing magnet jig and a pressure-receiving, soft-magnetic jig; and (3) curing the adhesive while applying pressure.

Abstract: A support stage for a prompter has a bi-divisional structure comprising a first support stage on which an LCD and a semitransparent mirror are supported and a second support stage on which an ENG camera is supported. Because the first support stage and the second support stage are constructed in the manner as to be capable of overlapping with each other by a slide mechanism, the support stage can be compact in size and can have a better weight balance; hence the support stage is easy to carry.
