The treatment includes the following steps: (a) saturating a natural and/or regenerated fibrous material with a solution that contains (1) a di-halogeno-s-triazine having at least one hydrophilic group and (2) urea, thiourea, and an amino acid, or a combination of two or more of said three compounds (b) heating said saturated material at 30° C.-60° C., and (c) heating said saturated material at 60° C.-90° C.

Abstract: This invention consists of an accommodation bag such that one outer bag accommodates multiple inner accommodation bags and at least one of the inner accommodation bags is a liquid-accommodation bag from which a liquid flows. Also, the liquids or goods that flow out from other multiple accommodation bags in the outer bag are processed and used by mixing with or coming into contact with each other. Therefore, it is also possible to use the processed liquid for drinking or eating by taking it via the bottom of the outer bag. As a heating means, either an outside means, such as a microwave oven or the like, or an independent container installed inside the liquid-accommodation bag, is used. The heat-generation means inside the liquid-accommodation bag is such that heat is generated when there are combined together at least two kinds of materials that generate heat by chemically reacting together, and such that only such generated heat can be utilized.

Abstract: One object of the invention is to provide a container for cooking foods that (1) enables cooking while maintaining an appropriate moisture content, even when the container is heated by an external heating means such as a microwave oven, and (2) can be opened easily. Another object is to provide a container that is equipped with a separate seasoning means that enables the foods to be seasoned automatically, without that needing to be done manually by a user, and for the seasoning means to be removed easily. The container, which is formed of a polyolefin-based sheet, comprises a container body and a cover and is provided with a pressure-releasing part whose adhesion strength is weak enough so that it can be opened by the vapor pressure that is generated inside the container when it is heated. Also provided is a packet that contains liquid seasoning and that can be opened by the vapor pressure that is generated by heating the container, so as to make the liquid seasoning flow out.

Abstract: A magnetic slot wedge inserted in each slot of a stator core of a dynamo-electric machine so as to close an opening of each slot for preventing coils embedded in each slot from getting out of each slot is disclosed. The slot wedge includes a first thin non-magnetic sheet such as a polyester film having the thickness of several ten microns or an aromatic aramid paper, an amorphous sheet bonded to one of two faces of the first non-magnetic sheet opposite the other face facing a coil side in the condition that the wedge is inserted in each slot, and a second thin non-magnetic sheet bonded to the amorphous sheet so as to cover it. Each non-magnetic sheet has such dimensions that each non-magnetic sheet is projected from both ends and both side edges of the amorphous sheet.

Abstract: If the accelerator pedal condition is a power-on condition and the gearshift type is an upshift, or the accelerator pedal condition is a power-off condition and the gearshift type is a downshift, then a torque for engaging the next-gear-position gearshift means is established based on the engine torque to be transmitted from the engine to the next-gear-position gearshift means, and an inertia torque required to make the rotational speed of the input member of the next-gear-position gearshift means vary as desired with respect to the gearshift. If the accelerator pedal condition is a power-on condition and the gearshift type is a downshift, or the accelerator pedal condition is a power-off condition and the gearshift is an upshift, then the ratio between the rotational speeds of the input and output members of the next-gear-position gearshift means is detected.

Abstract: When a gearshift command for a power-on/downshift or power-off/upshift mode is issued, the magnitude of a change in the engine rotational speed due to the gearshift is calculated from the vehicle speed or the engine rotational speed when the gearshift starts to be effected and the gear ratio of a gear position to be reached by the gearshift. If the magnitude of the engine speed change is large, then a hydraulic control pressure is lowered for a certain period of time to advance the timing of operating of a hydraulic pressure release valve to quickly disengage a previous-gear-position clutch. If the magnitude of the engine speed change is small, then the control pressure is increased to delay the timing of operation of the hydraulic pressure release valve to allow the previous-gear-position clutch to be disengaged after a next-gear-position clutch starts to be engaged.

Abstract: An automatic transmission shift controlling method for preventing both excessive delays in speed ratio shifts and multiple shifts in close succession in response to two different shift commands in a short time period.When a first shift command is issued, the input and output rotational speed ratio of a shift device associated with a first target speed range for selecting a power transmission path associated with the first target speed range and determined by the first shift command is detected, and the start of operation of the shift device associated with the first target speed range is detected by checking whether the input and output rotational speed ratio has started to vary or not. When a second gear-shift command is issued after the first shift command has been issued but before the start of operation of the shift device is detected, the second shift command is accepted.

Abstract: A parts feeding apparatus of the piezoelectric drive type consists of a base, a plurality of bimorph cell assemblies each including a leaf spring the lower end of which is fixed to the base and two piezoelectric elements each fixed on respective sides of each leaf spring to vibrate each leaf spring when AC voltage is applied to the piezoelectric elements, and a conveyor connected with the lower end of each connecting member. Furthermore, the upper end of each bimorph cell assembly is connected with the lower end of each connecting member so that the vibration of each bimorph cell assembly is transmitted to the conveyor to feed articles placed on it. Each connecting member has lower bending stiffness than each leaf spring by forming one or more semicircular cut-out portions in it or selecting its thickness or its material so that an external force acting on each piezoelectric element in vibration is decreased.
