Abstract: The outdoor unit (1000) includes a housing whose inside is divided into a fan chamber (110) and a machine chamber (120). A compressor and a reactor that are heat-generating components are provided in a lower area of the machine chamber (120). An electric board (50) including a printed circuit board (51) and an electric component (52), and an electric component box (10) constituted by an inner box (11) and an outer box (12) and accommodating the electric board are provided above the heat-generating components. A lower face of the inner box (first thermal insulation plate) and a lower face of the outer box (second thermal insulation plate) constitute a double thermal insulation plate (10a).

Abstract: Producing a bread by a straight method of directly baking a frozen dough for breads that has undergone final proofing. A specific volume of the frozen dough for breads that has undergone the final proofing immediately before baking falls within a range of 1.3 to 2.1 cm3/g.

Abstract: A polyester combined-filament yarn having an excellent stretch property and a bathochromic effect, as well as uniformity of apparent dyed color density, comprises two different multifilament components (A) and (B), wherein the multifilament component (A) comprises polyester filaments composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polymer, a metal-containing phosphorus compound (a) and an alkaline earth metal compound (b), and a conjugate multifilament component (B) comprises side-by-side or eccentric core-sheath conjugate polyester filaments composed of two mutually different polyester resins (at least one of which is polytrimethylene terephthalate resin), the mass ratio (A)/(B) of components (A) and (B) is in the range of 80/20 to 50/50. Woven or knitted fabrics comprising the combined-filament yarn are useful for women's and men's fashion apparel and black formals.

Abstract: The present invention Is directed to a method of manufacturing dough for yeast-leavened foods, which includes kneading a portion, including farina, of starting materials under reduced pressure or atmospheric pressure, extruding the kneaded mixture under pressure, adding the remaining starting materials thereto for further kneading under atmospheric pressure so as to obtain kneaded dough, and then fermenting the resultant kneaded dough; a method of manufacturing dough for yeast-leavened foods, which includes kneading the entirety of the starting materials of the yeast-leavened foods under reduced pressure or atmospheric pressure, extruding the kneaded mixture under pressure, subsequently kneading the extruded mass so as to obtain kneaded dough, and then fermenting the resultant kneaded dough; and a method of manufacturing frozen dough for yeast-leavened foods, which include freezing of any of the thus obtained kneaded dough.

Abstract: A photographic roll film such as Brownie film is placed on a backing paper or a leader paper. The roll film is joined at its one or both ends to the backing paper or leader paper with a jointing tape, which has on its surface a bar code composed of light absorbing bars and light reflecting spaces. The light absorbing bars show a reflectance of less than 30% and a glossiness of less than 20%, and the light reflecting spaces show a reflectance of more than 50% and a glossiness of less than 35%. Further, the total of the glossiness of light absorbing bars and the glossiness of light reflecting spaces is less than 50%. The reflectance and glossiness both are determined utilizing a light in a wavelength region other than a light sensitive wavelength region of the roll film.

Abstract: A high-density textile fabric produced by arranging, as warps and wefts, identical or different continuous filaments yarn at least 40% by weight of which are formed of filaments having a filament denier of 1.1 or less and which have a total denier of 120 or less, wherein cross-sectional overlaying coefficients, W.sub.p and W.sub.f, of the warps and wefts constituting said textile fabric simultaneously satisfy the following (a) and (b).(a) 1.30 .gtoreq.W.sub.p .gtoreq.1.10(b) 1.20 .gtoreq.W.sub.F .gtoreq.0.85Since the high-density textile fabric of the present invention not only exhibits high tearing strength but also has excellent water resistance performance in spite of its small thickness and light weight, it can be widely used not only as a closing material for ski wear, windbreakers, outdoors wear, coats, working clothes and operating gowns, but also for a shower curtain, a table cloth and a piece of cloth for an umbrella.

Abstract: A breadmaking dough conditioner is disclosed which comprises (a) an ascorbic acid, (b) at least one amino acid or salts thereof selected from the group consisting of cystine, methionine, asparagic acid, alanine, glycine and salts thereof, (c) an alum and (d) at least one emulsifier selected from the group consisting of a glycerol fatty acid monoester and a sucrose fatty acid ester having an HLB value of 5 to 10. The dough conditioners are especially suitable for the manufacture of bread using a frozen or chilled bread dough. They can prepare breads which have no fisheyes on the surface of the baked bread, have large bread volume and are good in all respects of appearance, inner phase, taste and flavor.

Abstract: A-type fibers having a fiber thickness of less than 1 denier is produced by the steps of: obtaining undrawn fibers by melt-spinning a co-polyester having an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.35 to 0.50, and having repeating units composed mainly of ethylneneterephthalate that contains from 0.5 mol % to 7.0 mol % of 5-sodiumsulfoisophthalic acid and from 0.5 mol % to 10 mol % of isophthalic acid; and flow-drawing the undrawn yarn at a draw ratio of more than 5 times. The A-type polyester fibers are further neck-drawn at a draw ratio of more than 1.05 times to be B-type fibers, and the B-type fibers are subjected to a restricted contraction treatment to be C-type fibers. Staple fibers having a length of less than 15 mm obtained from at least one of the A, B and C-type fibers are blended in a material for the production of a wet type non-woven fabric at a ratio of more than 10 weight %, if necessary, together with other fibers such as a regular type polyester fiber, wood pulp or a glass fiber.
