Abstract: A speech recognition unit (114) and a processor unit (116) of a foreign language learning device (100) receive sentence speech information corresponding to a sentence pronounced by a learner (2) to separate the information into word speech information on the basis of words included in the sentence. The processor unit (116) evaluates the degree of matching (likelihood) of each word speech information with a model speech, and a resultant evaluation is indicated on a display unit (120) on the basis of each word.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of handling a structure and an equipment of handling the structure which can make swing of the structure to be transported small when the structure in a reactor building is curried out from the reactor building and/or when the structure is carried into the reactor building from the outside of the reactor building.

Abstract: When a radioactivated reactor pressure vessel is carried out from a nuclear reactor building of a nuclear power plant, a first opening portion for carrying out the reactor pressure vessel is provided in a roof of the nuclear reactor building, a radiation shield for covering the reactor pressure vessel and shielding radiations is carried into the reactor building through the first opening portion, and installed on a reactor shield wall, lowering a hanger through the first opening portion and a slit provided on an upper lid of the radiation shield, a part of a lid of the reactor pressure vessel and a part of the upper lid of the radiation shield are abutted by hanging up the reactor pressure vessel by the hanger, and the reactor pressure vessel and the radiation shield integrated therewith are raised and carried out of the reactor building, whereby the shield can be easily mounted on the large-sized apparatus in a short time and a dose of radiations exposed to a worker when the shield is mounted can be reduced.

Abstract: A method of treating a large scale structural body is provided in which when carrying out and in the large scale structural body such as nuclear reactor pressure vessel and an internal reactor structural body from and to a nuclear reactor building, a used fuel pool and fuels stored inside thereof can be protected even if the large scale structural body drops by some cause. In the method of treating a large scale structural body in which an opening portion is provided at a roof of the nuclear reactor building and the large scale structural body is carried out/in through the opening portion; the carrying out/in of the large scale structural body is performed under a condition that a protective measure for the used fuel pool is provided in a nuclear reactor well.

Abstract: When carrying the large structure out through an aperture portion provided at a roof of a reactor building, a chamber for covering the aperture is provided at the roof so that work of providing the chamber for covering the aperture portion can be performed independent of other work performed in the reactor building, before at least a part of work of using a roof crane and at least a part work of handling fuel assemblies in the reactor building.

Abstract: A branched polycarbonate resin having a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of 15,000 to 45,000, number of dichloromethane insoluble gel like particle with a particle diameter more than 50 &mgr;m being 10 or below per 100 g of the resin, obtained by reacting bisphenol, trihydric or above phenol as branching agent, monohydric phenol as molecular weight modifier and phosgene in the presence of both an alkali aqueous solution and organic solvent to polymerize and a process for producing the same.

Abstract: A process for producing a polycarbonate resin with high flowability having a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of 13,000 to 20,000 according to an interfacial polymerization method which comprises the steps of forming a reaction mixture while injecting phosgene into bisphenol, after the completion of injection of phosgene, adding a tetraammonium salt to the reaction mixture, then, conducting polycondensation reaction, after a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of a reaction mixture containing the resultant reaction products has reached to 3,000 or above and less than 6,000, adding a molecular weight modifier to the reaction mixture, further conducting polycondensation reaction, and thereby obtaining the polycarbonate resin.

Abstract: Disclosed are a polycarbonate resin with high flowability having a viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) of 13,000 to 20,000 and containing below 1% by weight of low molecular weight carbonate compounds having the range of molecular weight 1,000 or below and at least 10% by weight of a polycarbonate oligomer having the range of molecular weight 2,000 to 5,000 and a process for producing the same.
