A panel package including double-side power generation type solar cell panels or a group of solar cell panels arranged across a plurality of stages in a height direction is supported by vertical members supported by arm members overhung in a structural out-of-plane direction from an outer wall face having an opening and juxtaposed with an interval in a structural in-plane horizontal direction of the outer wall face while the panel package faces the outer wall face. The panel package is arranged between overhang members protruded side by side in a height direction to the exterior side of each vertical member and juxtaposed in a structural in-plane horizontal direction, and upper and lower portions of the panel package are held by the overhang members juxtaposed in a height direction.

Abstract: A coating device and a coating method capable of performing stable coating without causing defects such as a discontinuous coating film even if a web is run at a high speed. The coating device includes: a bar which is in contact with the web and can rotate about an axis; a liquid supply passage which is arranged adjacent to the bar at an upstream side from the bar and supplies a coating liquid to be applied to the web between the web and the bar to form a coating liquid reservoir when the web is being run; and an air-intrusion preventing unit which is arranged at an upstream side from the coating liquid reservoir and produces a liquid flow along a web surface to prevent an accompanying air film produced on the web surface from intruding into the coating reservoir when the web is being run.

Abstract: A method of preparing a magnetic coating composition comprises a first process for kneading ferromagnetic grains, a binder and a binder solution Y1 by use of a two-shaft continuous kneading and mixing machine to obtain a kneaded mixture K1 having a solid content within the range of 65 wt % to 95 wt %, a second process for kneading a binder solution Y2 and the kneaded mixture K1 by use of the two-shaft continuous kneading and mixing machine to obtain a primary diluted mixture K2 having a solid content within the range of 50 wt % to 70 wt %, a third process for diluting and dispersing the primary diluted mixture K2 in an organic solvent to obtain a secondary diluted mixture K3 having a solid content within the range of 25 wt % to 50 wt %, and a fourth process for finely dispersing the secondary diluted mixture K3 to obtain a dispersion mixture K4 having a solid content within the range of 25 wt % to 45 wt %.

Abstract: A process for producing a magnetic recording medium is described in which a hardening agent and a lubricant are added to a magnetic coating solution prior to coating thereof on a non-magnetic support. It has been found that improved magnetic recording properties and consistent product characteristics are obtained if the addition of the hardening agent and lubricant to the magnetic coating solution is carried out within about 240 minutes of surface calendering treatment of the magnetic recording medium.

Abstract: A method of preparing a kneaded mixture for a magnetic coating material comprises a kneading start process and a continuous kneading process. In the kneading start process, a low-viscosity composition, which is composed of magnetic layer forming materials containing ferromagnetic grains and a binder, and a solvent, is introduced into a kneading vessel of a two-shaft continuous kneading and mixing machine, and kneading is started. In the continuous kneading process, after the start of the kneading, a high-viscosity composition, in which a solvent amount is smaller by at least 7 wt % than the solvent amount in the low-viscosity composition used in the kneading start process, is continously introduced into the kneading vessel, and the kneading is continued while high shearing force is being given to the high-viscosity composition.
