Abstract: An exhaust apparatus includes: an inner tube including therein an exhaust passage and also including a peripheral wall portion on which a plurality of opening portions communicating with the exhaust passage are formed; an outer tube accommodating the inner tube, an internal space being formed between the outer tube and an outer periphery of the inner tube; and a flow rectifying member arranged at a region inside the inner tube, having a spiral shape in an axial direction of the inner tube, and configured to rectify an exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage.

Abstract: An exhaust system includes a tubular inner shell for passing therethrough exhaust gases from a combustion engine, and a tubular outer shell enclosing the tubular inner shell and cooperating therewith to define a sound silencing chamber into which the exhaust gases are introduced. The tubular inner shell forms an inner peripheral wall of the sound silencing chamber, and an upstream portion of the inner peripheral wall is formed with a perforated wall area having a plurality of communicating perforations for communicating between an interior of the tubular inner shell and the sound silencing chamber, and a downstream portion of the inner peripheral wall has a non-perforated wall area having no communicating perforation defined therein.

Abstract: A liquid curable resin composition for optical fibers comprising a polymer (a) having a number average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and containing at least two types of recurring ethylenic units, of which one type has a substituent group containing an ethylenically unsaturated group and the second type is substituted by a group —COOR3 (wherein R3 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1-30 carbon atoms), an aryl group, a cyano group, an alkyl group having 1-10 carbon atoms or by one or more halogen atoms.

Abstract: A liquid curable resin composition for optical fibers comprising a polymer (a) having a number average molecular weight of 5,000 or more and derived from at least two types of recurring ethylenic units, of which one type has a substituent group containing an ethylenically unsaturated group and the second type is substituted by a group --COOR.sup.3 (wherein R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 1-30 carbon atoms), an aryl group, a cyano group, an alkyl group having 1-10 carbon atoms or by one or more halogen atoms.
