Abstract: A soft capsule film composition, comprising: (A) a native gellan gum; (B) one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides; (C) a starch or modified starch; (D) a plasticizer; and (E) water, wherein a gelling agent other than the native gellan gum and the one or more hydrophilic polysaccharides is not an essential component. The soft capsule film composition shortens drying time at room temperature, suppresses the stickiness of the surface of a film sheet, imparts film sheet strength which can withstand continuous production in factory manufacturing with a rotary die filling machine or the like, and enables the manufacture of a good soft capsule with high adhesiveness. For this reason, the soft capsule produced using the soft capsule film composition can be utilized for various uses such as drugs, quasi drugs, cosmetics, and foods.

Abstract: A sheet (10) for a mask has a first fiber layer (11) and a second fiber layer (12). The second fiber layer (12) has a higher trapping ratio for particles having a particle diameter exceeding 1 ?m and/or a smaller average fiber diameter than the first fiber layer (11). The basis weight of the second fiber layer (12) is from 1 to 20 g/m2. In a natural state, the second fiber layer (12) has a plurality of projections (13) projecting toward a surface of the second fiber layer (12) that is opposite to a surface of the second fiber layer (12) facing the first fiber layer (11) and depressions (14) that are each arranged between corresponding projections (13) of the plurality of projections (13). The depressions (14) have joined portions (15) where the second fiber layer (12) and the first fiber layer (11) are joined to each other.

Abstract: A striking tool includes: a driver which is provided to be slidable toward an ejecting port provided in a tip end of the striking tool so as to strike out a fastener from the ejecting port; a plunger to which the driver is coupled; a plunger urging member which is configured to urge the plunger toward the ejecting port: and a drive mechanism which is configured to move the plunger to accumulate urging force in the plunger urging member. A standby position of the plunger before striking out the fastener can be switched between a usual standby position and a standby position for maintenance closer to the ejecting port than the usual standby position.

Abstract: According to one implementation, a blast treatment device includes at least one nozzle that injects media toward a workpiece, a first tank that supplies the media to the at least one nozzle, a movement structure that moves the at least one nozzle and the first tank, and a second tank that supplies the media to the first tank. The second tank is not moved by the movement structure.

Abstract: According to one implementation, a blast treatment device includes an injection part and a circulating system. The injection part injects media toward a workpiece made with a composite material. The media each has a weight difference from a resinic particle dropping from the composite material. The weight difference is not less than a threshold or more than the threshold. The circulating system recovers the injected media and supplies the recovered media to the injection part. The circulating system has an impurity separation part that removes at least one of impurities and media, of which particle sizes have become small, each included in the recovered media.

Abstract: According to one implementation, a blast treatment method includes: setting a blast treatment condition for a composite material to make a degree of activation on the surface of the composite material within an appropriate range, based on reference information; and manufacturing a blast treated product by the blast treatment of the composite material under the blast treatment condition set to make the degree of the activation within the appropriate range. The reference information shows a relation between a strain amount of a test piece caused by blast treatment under a predetermined blast treatment condition and a degree of activation on a surface of a sample of a composite material by blast treatment, for activating the surface of the sample before painting or bonding, under the predetermined blast treatment condition.
