Patent number: 6818708Abstract: The process for polymerizing olefins uses a plurality of series-connected polymerization reactors in which at least one of second and subsequent reactors is a vapor-phase polymerization reactor containing a multicomponent gas. The process comprises the steps of: taking the multicomponent gas out of the vapor-phase polymerization reactor; mixing the multicomponent gas with an inert gas which is lighter than at least one component of the multicomponent gas, thereby obtaining a mixed gas; compressing and/or cooling the mixed gas to liquefy a part of the multicomponent gas; discharging at least a part of a gaseous mixture comprising the inert gas and an unliquefied multicomponent gas out of a reaction system; and returning a fluid comprising the remainder of the gaseous mixture and the liquefied multicomponent gas to the vapor-phase polymerization reactor.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Idemitsu Petrochemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Satou, Shinji Araki, Hiromi Adachi

Patent number: 6332553Abstract: An annular groove is formed in a cap body of a cap. An elongated coupling member has a ring part formed integrally therewith, and is coupled to the cap as the ring part is engaged in the annular groove. The cap and the coupling member are each formed of electroconductive resin, and the surface resistance from the cap to the vehicle is set to be greater than or equal to 1×1012 &OHgr; and less than 5.30×1012 &OHgr;. Hence, when the human body is brought into contact with the cap, static electricity in the human body is discharged to the vehicle side, and no shock is imparted to the human body. In addition, the amount of residual charge also declines without causing secondary spark discharge.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2000Date of Patent: December 25, 2001Assignee: Calsonic CorporationInventors: Tatsuo Yamada, Shinji Araki

Patent number: 6022611Abstract: A circuit board capable of accomplishing an increase in current capacity and therefore a reduction in resistance of a through-hole conductive section each formed by filling a conductive paste in each of through-holes formed in a paper base insulating substrate by punching. A punching pin is thrust into the paper base insulating substrate provided on front and rear surfaces thereof with copper foil lands from a side of the front surface, resulting in the through-holes being formed. A drawing pin is inserted into each of the through-holes from a side of the rear surface of the insulating substrate through a rear opening of the through-hole, to thereby curve an inner peripheral portion of the rear copper foil land toward an interior of the through-hole and cut off any swell in the through-hole. The through-holes each are filled with the conductive paste, followed by curing the paste, so that the through-hole conductive section is formed for electrically connecting copper foil lands to each other.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 1997Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Assignee: Hokuriku Electric Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shizuo Sakurai, Shinji Araki, Sakae Shinkawa, Tadahiko Nakagaki

Patent number: 5360464Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the fusion splicing of carbon coated optical fibers and to a method for providing reinforced performance of the spliced points. Concretely, carbon coated optical fibers are fusion spliced in an atmosphere containing less than 0.5 vol % of oxygen without the removal of the carbon coating. In order to minimize the amount of damage to the carbon coating resulting from the fusion, the decline in the failure probability of the optical fiber is controlled by means of applying moisture to the spliced part or by means of the adhesion of the oxidized carbon gases to the optical fiber. On the other hand, the carbon coating layer which was removed by oxidation at the time of the fusion splicing is recoated by means of a CVD reaction using a laser as a heat source. By means of this, the decline in the fatigue characteristics of the spliced part can be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1993Date of Patent: November 1, 1994Assignee: Fujikura Ltd.Inventors: Ryozo Yamauchi, Akira Wada, Keiji Oohashi, Shinji Araki, Tsuyoshi Shimomichi

Patent number: 5037464Abstract: A method for manufacturing carbon coated optical fiber includes the steps of removing adherent foreign material from a surface of a bare optical fiber, and forming at least one carbon layer on the surface thereof using a chemical vapor deposition method. The first step is performed by heating and drying the surface of the bare optical fiber in a 80 to 150 degrees C. temperature region to vaporize the adherent foreign material while supplying an inert gas to the surface thereof so as to substitute the inert gas for the vaporized adherent foreign material. The second step is performed by thermally decomposing at least one hydrocarbon compound to obtain a thermal decomposate of the hydrocarbon, and depositing the thermal decomposate on the surface of the bare optical fiber. Also, disclosed is a method for manufacturing carbon coated optical fiber including the steps of cooling a surface of a bare optical fiber to a temperature no higher than 50.degree.
