  • Publication number: 20100129577
    Abstract: A multi-layer polyester container comprising inner and outer layers of a polyester resin and at least one intermediate layer of a functional resin or a functional resin composition, wherein a difference of tan ? of the inner polyester layer at 80° C. and 60° C. is 0.035 or less in the measurement of the dynamic viscoelasticity (DMS) thereof at 0.5 Hz. Even when the functional resin or the functional resin composition having a large draw stress is used as an intermediate layer, therefore, excellent transparency is obtained while effectively exhibiting the function such as barrier property possessed by the functional resin or the functional resin composition.

  • Publication number: 20090061132
    Abstract: A stretch-formed container having a layer comprising a blend of an ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin and another material, characterized in that the layer comprising the blend has a dispersion structure composed of a continuous phase comprising the ethylene terephthalate type polyester resin and a dispersed phase comprising the other material and that at least the container body part has a tan ? maximum temperature of 115° C. or lower in a dynamic viscoelasticity examination. Due to the constitution, even when the mechanical stretching rate reaches a limit, strain hardening effectively occurs. Thus, a stretch-formed container of a polyester resin can be provided which has both of excellent heat resistance attributable to high-temperature stretching and a stretch balance attributable to strain hardening.

  • Patent number: 7038217
    Abstract: Here is disclosed a method for generation of a molecular beam from a sample solution, comprising steps of operating a spray-in device to introduce the sample solution in atomized state into a spray chamber, impinging a suitable gas on the sample solution in atomized state or heating the sample solution in atomized state to generate solute molecules deprived of solvent molecules, and then ejecting these solute molecules through an orifice into a low air pressure chamber. The apparatus as well as the method according to the present invention enable to generate a molecular beam for a variety of molecules, particularly for the neutral molecules which can be decomposed by heating at a high temperature or those which can not be sublimated or vaporized even by heating at a high temperature, as long as the sample solutions are prepared.

  • Patent number: 6442348
    Abstract: A phototaking camera having light emitters includes an electro-optic, light-emitting display assembly provided on its form surface side, which includes a light-emitting display unit that emits light to display a pattern as if the displayed pattern were rotated, or enlarged or contracted or moved forward or backward by lighting-up or blinking of an array of light emitters, and a light-emitting display control circuit far driving said light-emitting display unit. With a power switch put on for shooting, the light emitters are lit up or blinked as mentioned above. Since a subject such as a figure directs attention to the lighting-up or blinking of the light emitters, there is no risk of a failure in shooting.
