Abstract: The present invention provides a crosslinking agent which can improve crosslinked fluoroelastomer high-temperature vapor resistance and a crosslinked fluoroelastomer having improved high-temperature vapor resistance. The present invention provides a compound having a structure represented by the following formula (1) (in the formula, R1 to R6 are each a hydrogen atom, a substituent, or a leaving group, and two or more of R1 to R6 are leaving groups; Ra to Rc are each a hydrogen atom or a substituent; and n is an integer from 2 to 5).

Abstract: A method for producing a fluoropolyether group-containing compound, which includes reacting a fluoropolyether group-containing compound (A) represented by the formula (1) with a compound (C) represented by any of the formulae (c1) to (c4) in the presence of a metal catalyst including at least one selected from Pd, Cu, Ni, Pt, and Ag. The symboles are as defined herein.

Abstract: A data collection server that collects and converts data has a data processor that executes shaping processes to shape collected data, sets a data processing flow based on the shaping processes, sets information of an execution environment of the shaping processes and converts the processing flow based on the information of the execution environment. The processor accepts setting inputs of first and second flags before and after the plurality of shaping processes and performs an integrated shaping process for collectively executing the plurality of shaping processes between the first and second flags when set. The processor also updates information of the execution environment based on execution contents of the integrated shaping process.

Abstract: Even though a network with communication rate large fluctuations is applied to a remote monitoring system, data communication delay time is kept smaller for which a shorter communication delay time is demanded and a high throughput is implemented. A sensor equipped terminal sends measurement data to a network interconnection device. A priority level determining unit of the device sorts the data into first data necessary to be delivered to a monitoring center within requested communication delay time and second data not necessarily to be delivered to the center within requested communication delay time. A transmission buffer unit is a buffer storing the first and second data accumulated in first and second data accumulating units in sending the data to a wide area network by FIFO. A transmission control unit dynamically controls a rate in causing the data to come in the transmission buffer unit based on a network communication rate.

Abstract: A front-cover assembly having a front-cover forming the front face of the information apparatus, lid members provided on the front-cover so as to be turned and moved between the closed position and the opened position, and caps provided on the upper and the lower face of the front-cover to hide the flanges of the lid members. The lid member is constituted by an elongated lid body and flanges provided on each end of the lid body. The flange has a turning center through-hole at the center, and a raised part as well as an outline part on the periphery part. On the upper face of the front-cover are formed a shaft part and concave parts. When the lid member is turned to the opened position, the raised part engages the concave part and is click locked, and the outline part appears on the front face of the front-cover filling the gap between the front-cover and the cap.

Abstract: Dietary fiber, obtained from extracting wheat bran with water, having an average molecular weight of 5.times.10.sup.2 to 1.times.10.sup.5, from 95.3 to 99.0% by weight of a sugar, primarily glucose, and 0.1 to 3.0% by weight protein components. The fiber, when eaten, promotes the digestion and absorption of nutrients, waste excretion and proliferation of Lactobacillus bifidus in the large intestine.

Abstract: A process for producing a low sulfur content fuel oil in a high yield from a starting oil having a high sulfur content, which comprises (1) treating a residual petroleum oil with hydrogen at a temperature of about 350.degree. to 450.degree. C and a pressure of about 50 to 200 Kg/cm.sup.2 at a liquid hourly space velocity of about 0.2 to 4 l/H.l in the presence of a catalyst, (2) introducing an inert gas or steam at a temperature of about 400.degree. to 900.degree.C and pyrolyzing the treated oil at a temperature of about 350.degree. to 500.degree.C and at a pressure of about atmospheric pressure to 100 Kg/cm.sup.2 with a residence time of about 0.5 to 10 hours, and (3) hydrodesulfurizing the pyrolyzed oil at a temperature of about 300.degree. to 400.degree.C and a pressure of about 30 to 100 Kg/cm.sup.2 at a liquid hourly space velocity of about 0.5 to 4 l/H.l in the presence of a desulfurizing catalyst.
