Abstract: Disclosed is an iron golf club head 1 comprising: a face plate 2 having a joint 22 formed on its rear surface; and an L-shaped bar whose lateral and longitudinal sections are used as a lateral neck elongation 3 and a hosel 4 of a longitudinal stick or shaft 5 respectively. The neck elongation 3 is integrally connected to the joint 22, and the shaft 5 is inserted into the hosel 4, allowing the face plate 2 to lie on the front side of the shaft 5. The iron golf head is good in directivity, and is almost free of shank, sclaff or any other mishit.

Abstract: A method for the production of a completely impregnated composite material having the surface thereof coated with a thermosetting resin and essentially consisting of a thermoplastic resin matrix including minute voids filled with a thermosetting resin and reinforcing fibers, which method comprises setting in place a roller and a collecting section disposed in the direction of the rotation of the roller, rotating the roller, feeding thermoplastic resin fibers and reinforcing fibers to the roller, causing the roller to throw a uniform mixture of the two types of fibers onto the collecting section, thereby forming a composite mat of the uniform mixture on the collecting section, then thermally compressing the composite mat and further solidifying the compressed composite mat by cooling and forming a composite material of the shape of a plate, further heating the composite material, thereby melting and expanding the thermoplastic resin forming the matrix, then cooling the expanded composite material, thereby form

Abstract: A method for producing a material for a fiber-reinforced composite article is disclosed which comprises preparing an apparatus composed of a belt and at least one fiber-separating and throwing device, setting the belt in motion and the roller in rotation, feeding a mixture of matrix thermoplastic resin fibers (a) and reinforcing fibers (b) to the roller, causing the roller to separate the fibers and throw the separated, fibers, and allowing the thrown fibers to pile up on the moving belt, thereby giving rise to a mat wherein the ratio of the fibers (a) and (b) successively increases or decreases in the direction of thickness of the mat.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrorheological fluid which is a uniform mixture or solution consisting of a thermotropic polymeric liquid crystal compound such as poly(4'-cyano-4-biphenyloxyhexyl acrylate) and a thermotropic low-molecular liquid crystal compound such as 4-cyano-4'-pentyl biphenyl to serve as the solvent of the polymer in a specified molar ratio. The viscosity of the liquid composition is increased as the direct-current electric field applied thereto is increased while this electrorheological effect disappears when the temperature of the composition is increased to exceed a phase transition temperature which is specific to the respective combinations of the polymeric and low-molecular liquid crystal compounds.

Abstract: A three-dimensional woven fabric for use in a battery is composed of three groups of filaments interlaced to form a three-dimensional weave, the filaments of one of the groups being formed of two kinds of electrode materials for a battery arranged parallely and alternately and the filaments of the other two groups serving as separators and being arranged so as to fix the filaments made of the electrode materials.

Abstract: As a solid electrolyte suitable for use in oxygen sensors a partially stabilized zirconia, which essentially consists of 4.5-6.0 mol % of Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 and the balance of ZrO.sub.2 and is constituted of tetragonal and cubic crystals, is produced by using a coprecipitated powder of a solid solution of ZrO.sub.2 and Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 as the raw material and performing sintering of a green body at a temperature not higher than 1500.degree. C. The ZrO.sub.2 -Y.sub.2 O.sub.3 powder has a mean particle size not larger than 1 .mu.m and a specific surface area in the range from 2.5 to 7 m.sup.2 /g and is required to be not more than 0.2 wt % in the content of unwanted SiO.sub.2 so that the sintered solid electrolyte may be as low as possible in the content of SiO.sub.2. The obtained solid electrolyte has good mechanical properties and exhibits sufficiently high withstand voltage.

Abstract: A method for the formation of a three-dimensional woven fabric comprises causing arms of carriers disposed around one component yarns out of three mutually perpendicular component yarns and having the other two component yarns separately held thereon to be rotated, opposing carrier arms of adjacent carriers to each other thereby effecting transfer of yarns, and successively effecting said transfer of yarns to carrier arms of the subsequent carriers thereby enabling the two component yarns to be displaced and zigzagged relative to the remaining one component yarn. An apparatus for effecting the aforementioned method essentially comprises a multiplicity of carriers arrayed longitudinally and laterally on a carrier holding plate and means for imparting necessary movements to the carriers. The three-dimensional woven fabric can be formed in a desired shape or yarn arrangement by suitably varying the pattern of arrangement of the two component yarns.
