Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a (meth)acrylic-modified silicone macromonomer, which may be used as a raw material for a (meth)acrylic copolymer capable of forming a coating having excellent antifouling properties and surface smoothness. A (meth)acrylic-modified silicone macromonomer of formula (b1) is provided, which has 1 to 80 branches attached to a linear polysiloxane backbone and the branch has a (poly)oxyalkylene structure of the formula —(CaH2aO)b— and a (meth)acryloyl group at a terminal. The (meth)acrylic-modified silicone macromonomer is a raw material for a polymer used in an antifouling paint.

Abstract: The game processor consumes paints of a plurality of colors to execute an attack in the game, reflects an effect of the attack in the game, and decreases possession paints according to consumption of the paints. The game processor consumes the paints of the plurality of colors according to consumption ratios determined for the attack to be executed and executes the attack. When at least one of the parameters necessary for the action to be executed is insufficient, the game processor changes the consumption ratios of the paints of the plurality of colors and executes the action. When the consumption ratios change, the game processor generates a game screen different from a game screen when the consumption ratios do not change. When the consumption ratios change, the game processor reflects an effect different from an effect when the consumption ratios do not change in the game.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hard coat film having a hard coat layer on at least one side of a base film, wherein the surface of the hard coat layer has a water contact angle of 78 to 90° and an n-dodecane contact angle of 22° or less. The hard coat film has excellent fingerprint resistance when it is used in a finger input touch panel; has excellent adhesion and no defects which disturb optical inspection when it is used as a protective film for a capacitance touch panel; and preferably has high uniformity in film thickness.

Abstract: The present invention provides flexibility in the shape and material of the cleaning vessel, enables high-power transmission of ultrasonic waves, and reduces audible noise generation. An ultrasonic cleaning machine according to the invention comprises an acoustic lens mounted above an ultrasonic transducer which is immersed in oil held within an external tank as well as a cleaning vessel holding a cleaning liquid further above the acoustic lens so that ultrasonic waves produced by the ultrasonic transducer converge at a point within the cleaning liquid. In one form of the invention, the cleaning vessel is eliminated and the cleaning liquid is held directly in the external tank.

Abstract: A continuous casting apparatus comprises continuously supplying molten metal from a tundish to a cooled mold having an inlet and an outlet at least through a break ring, forming a cast section by continuously cooling the molten metal in the mold and starting the solidification of the molten metal below its surface, and intermittently withdrawing the cast section with respect to the mold through its outlet. During continuous casting, a sealing gas having a pressure higher than atmospheric and being soluble in the molten metal is invariable supplied to the entirety of the contact area of the mold and the break ring.

Abstract: A continuous casting method includes the steps of continuously supplying molten metal into a mold through at least one feed nozzle connected to the mold through a break ring, with the feed nozzle, the mold and the break ring forming at least a portion of a continuous casting apparatus, and intermittently withdrawing a cast piece formed from the molten metal in the mold thereby creating pressure in a space formed at a connecting point between the break ring, the mold and the cast piece as a result of the withdrawal from the mold. A shield means is placed to seal-off space between the at least one feed nozzle, and the mold to prevent entry of gas into the continuous casting apparatus and the pressure is reduced in the sealed-off space to thereby eliminate a pressure differential between the pressure in the sealed-off space and the pressure created in the space formed at the connecting point between the break ring, the mold and the cast piece during the intermittent withdrawal from the mold.

Abstract: In manufacturing molded product of urethane foam, a releasing agent mainly composed of organopolysiloxane is applied on the inner surface of the mold maintained at 60.degree. C. The agent is prepared by dissolving the base composed of organopolysiloxane composition in an organic solvent. The organopolysiloxane composition comprises (a) a first organopolysiloxane of which 0.1 to 5.0% of all organic groups bonded with Si atoms are vinyl groups and at least 80% of the remaining organic groups are methyl groups, and (b) a second organopolysiloxane containing at least three Si bonded hydrogen atoms in one molecule, wherein the first and second organopolysiloxanes contain Si vinyl groups and SiH groups at a ratio in a range of 1:0.5 to 1:5, and do not substantially contain unreactive siloxane. The agent is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays, and a thin and uniform film of releasing agent is formed on the inner surface of the mold.
