Abstract: A thermal transfer sheet of the present invention is used in order to previously form an image in a receptor layer of the intermediate transfer recording medium before the receptor layer is re-transferred to a transfer receiving material, and it comprises: a substrate film, a peelable layer disposed on the substrate film, and a heat fusible black ink layer disposed on the substrate film via the peelable layer, wherein the peelable layer is formed of a material having peelable property to the substrate film while having adhesive property to the transfer receiving material so that the peelable layer is transferred to the receptor layer of the intermediate transfer recording medium together with the heat fusible black ink layer when the image is formed in the receptor layer so as to constitute an uppermost layer of the receptor layer, the uppermost layer being adhesive to the transfer receiving material.

Abstract: 1 mole of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate is mixed with 2 moles of polyoxypropyelene glycol monoether having mean molecular weight of 2800 while adding 0.03% of tin octylate as a catalyst, and reaction is made at 80° C. for three hours for obtaining a synthetic. This synthetic is employed as a main component and blended with a filler and the like for obtaining a sealing material composite. This composite causes no swelling of a gasket forming a flange part of a trunk lid of an automobile.

Abstract: A rapidly disintegrable solid preparation which comprises (i) a pharmacologically active ingredient, (ii) a sugar and (iii) a low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose having 5% by weight or more to less than 7% by weight of hydroxypropoxyl group. The rapidly disintegrable solid preparation has fast disintegrability, suitable strength and no roughness.

Abstract: A functional material which fades in color with the volatilization of volatile agents such as fragrant agents, deodorant agents, antibacterial agents, etc. so that a user can visually check the end of the effect of such agents. A volatile agent and an oil-soluble dye having a dissolving proportion of 0.0001-1% are carried on a porous carrier undyeable with, i.e. low in affinity for the oil-soluble dye. The content of the oil-soluble dye is 0.1-100 .mu.g per square centimeter of the effective surface area of the porous carrier.

Abstract: A receptor layer transfer sheet, as intermediate transfer medium film, provided with a receptor layer to be transferred on a surface of a transfer-receiving material with an image preliminarily formed on the receptor layer comprises: a substrate film; an ionizing radiation (electron beam) hardening resin layer formed on the substrate film to be separable; and a receptor layer formed on the ionizing radiation hardening resin layer. The receptor layer is transferred together with the ionizing radiation hardening resin layer to the transfer-receiving material at a transferring process. A card-shaped printed product can be manufactured by using the receptor layer transfer sheet of the character mentioned above, in which an image is formed, through a sublimation thermal transfer process, on a receptor layer of a receptor layer transfer sheet. The receptor layer is transferred together with the ionizing radiation hardening resin layer on a card-shaped transfer-receiving material through a thermal transfer process.

Abstract: A spring assembly for an automatic transmission of automobiles includes a generally ring-shaped spring retainer formed from a synthetic resin material, a plurality of mounting protrusions circumferentially formed on a peripheral face of the spring retainer, and a plurality of coil springs having one ends mounted on the mounting protrusions respectively. Alternatively, the spring assembly includes a pair of generally ring-shaped spring retainers each formed from a synthetic resin material, a plurality of mounting protrusions circumferentially formed on each spring retainer, a plurality of guide protrusions circumferentially formed on each spring retainer so as to be positioned between each mounting protrusion and the adjacent one, and a plurality of coil springs having one ends mounted on the mounting protrusions of either spring retainer and the other ends fitted to the guide protrusions of the other spring retainer respectively.

Abstract: A receiving layer transfer sheet including a substrate film, and a transferable resin layer formed on one surface of the substrate film and composed of at least a dye receiving layer component and an adhesive layer component, wherein the dye receiving layer and adhesive layer components are formed on the substrate film in this order, if desired, with an additional layer component interleaved therebetween, and at least one layer component forming the transferable resin layer contains a foam and/or a foaming agent and the adhesive layer component includes a mixture of at least two heat-sensitive adhesive materials having varying softening temperatures.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a one part moisture cure sealant which is cured under an ordinary temperature by reaction with moisture contained in the air. This sealant contains a cure accelerating catalyst of: ##STR1## in a sealing composite containing urethane prepolymer. Due to the action of this catalyst, not only the cure rate is improved but difference in the cure rate between a low-temperature/low-humidity season and a high-temperature/high-humidity season is reduced. This sealant is also excellent in storage stability.

Abstract: A rheostatic control system for controlling the speed and the direction of rotation of a DC motor which is employed mainly for controlling the speed of an electric vehicle or the like. The system comprises a sliding-contact rheostatic unit which is provided between a DC power supply and a DC motor and which includes stationary contacts and speed controlling resistors, whereby the speed control of the DC motor is accomplished by means of the speed controlling resistors, and the rotation of the DC motor in either direction is controlled by changing the polarity of the voltage applied to the polarity changing terminals of the DC motor.
