Abstract: In a rotating body or machinery that is equipped with at least one such rotating body, the power loss resulting from the inertial force, which is an internal force caused by the rotation of the rotating body, contributes to mechanical inefficiency, as well as being the cause of unnecessary heat generation, unnecessary machine strength requirements, increased weight, and increased costs. Provided are low-loss machines and engines that essentially eliminate or greatly reduce the power loss due to the aforementioned inertial force. The rotating body of this invention, or machine which is equipped with at least one such rotating body, greatly reduces or essentially makes zero the power loss resulting from the inertial force generated by the rotating or rocking motion of the rotating body due to its poor mass distribution. This inertial force is an internal force of a new concept which excludes the centrifugal force.

Abstract: A room-temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition having a highly durable adhesion that bonds well to various substrates, e.g. glass, plastics, and metals, through contact-curing and exhibits an excellent early-cure adhesiveness and that cures to give a silicone rubber that is highly water-resistant and exhibits long-term retention of its bonding strength even in hostile ambients, e.g. immersion in hot water, comprises a composition of a hydroxyl-terminated or alkoxy-terminated organopolysiloxane, an inorganic filler, a rosin ester in which the ester is a polyol, a reaction mixture from aminoalkylalkoxysilane and epoxyalkylalkoxysilane, and a curing catalyst.

Abstract: The electrical conductivity of room temperature curable compositions containing at one polyorganosiloxane, a curing agent and certain light colored electrically conductive fillers is increased while maintaining the viscosity at desirably low levels and not adversely affecting the physical properties of the cured composition when the curable polyorganosiloxane is blended with the curing agent prior to addition of the filler.

Abstract: A room temperature-curable organopolysiloxane composition which does not suffer from surface fissuring even when subjected to external stress (e.g., tensile stress, flexural stress) during the course of its cure was prepared and has a composition of a hydroxyl-terminated polydiorganosiloxane, a hydrophobic silica with a silanol titer not exceeding 2.0 mL, a dry-method silica with a silanol titer of at least 5.0 mL, and an oxime group-containing silane or siloxane.

Abstract: A golf club which is used for so-called through-the-green shots from a tee shot to a shot causing a ball to be on a putting green, wherein said golf club comprises at least a club head (10) and a shaft (11), and a position of a center of mass (16a, 16b) of said club head is substantially located in a front portion (hitting face side) of said club head in a static state of said golf club with respect to a central plane (A--A') which passes the center of said shaft (11) and divides said club head into said front portion and a rear portion.

Abstract: A dynamically correlated, matched set of golf clubs which comprises a plurality of golf clubs each of which has a shaft having one end with a grip and the other end with a head, wherein each grip has a substantially uniform weight, moments of force at the head end sides of said golf clubs are standardized with reference to a substantially central portion between both hands of a golf player who holds the golf club during swing about a rotating axis, and when natural frequencies at the club head end side of said golf clubs in said set are measured with reference to said central portion as a support end so that natural frequencies of arbitrary clubs A and B are given as Fa and Fb and lengths from the support end to the centers of gravity extending from the support ends to head ends of said clubs are given as La and Lb, each shaft has a stiffness characteristic satisfying a substantial relation Fa.multidot.La=Fb.multidot.Lb.

Abstract: In the joining of silicone-coated fabrics in the present invention, a silicone rubber adhesive, which is plastic at room temperature and is an addition-curing type containing platinum-type catalyst or a radical-curing type containing organoperoxide, is inserted into the overlap region of said silicone rubber-coated fabrics. This overlap region is then hot-cured after press-adhering or is hot-cured while press-adhering. As a consequence, the silicone-coated fabrics are tightly bonded in an accurate, watertight and airtight manner.

Abstract: The water resistance exhibited during the curing of certain moisture curable RTV polyorganosiloxane compositions containing calcium carbonate fillers is significantly increased by treating the calcium carbonate with a hydrophobicizing agent selected from cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants having HLB values of 10 or less, and organosilanes.
