This diamide derivative (1) is capable of fundamentally improving the water retention capacity and barrier functions of the horny layer, is excellent in miscibility and mixing stability and can be prepared efficiently at a low cost.

Abstract: A metal belt, comprising a metal band (18) passed around a drive pulley (12) and a driven pulley (15) and a plurality of elements (19) disposed laminatedly in the extending direction of the band; each element being formed of wire material and further comprising a body part (31) in contact with the pulley, vertically installed parts (32) erected from both sides of the body part, and a pair of hook parts (33) which extended from the vertically installed parts and disposed opposedly to each other, wherein an opening part (34) is formed with the body part and both hook parts and, because the band (18) is inserted into the opening part (34) of each element so as to prevent the element from falling down from the band, a falling prevention body (20) is disposed in the opening part overlappingly with the band (18).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a precision machine part, comprising the steps of: dividing a precision machine part into a plurality of pieces on an arbitrary face in the axial direction of a conveyance passage in which liquid or gas of a pipe line or cylinder passes; interposing a bonding alloy containing V in 1 to 10 atomic % between the divided faces; quickly heating by high frequency induction heating in an oxidizing atmosphere containing oxygen in not less than 0.01 mass %; and controlling a cooling rate after isothermal solidification.

Abstract: A thermal recording medium good in recording sensitivity and recording stability comprising a metal thin layer, a heat sensitive softening layer placed in contact with said metal thin layer, a contrasting layer placed in contact with said heat sensitive softening layer or said metal thin layer and having a visual contrast to said metal thin layer, and a heat sensitive color forming layer placed in contact with said heat sensitive softening layer or said metal thin layer on the side of said metal thin layer opposite to the side where the contrasting layer is positioned.

Abstract: This invention provides a thermal recording medium which has a metallic thin layer, a heat sensitive layer formed on said metallic thin layer and a contrast layer formed on either said heat sensitive layer or the above metallic thin layer and visually contrasting with the above metallic thin layer.A thermal recording medium having a roughed metallic thin layer can be produced by using a material containing minute particles to form a roughed heat sensitive layer or a roughed contrast layer prior to the formation of the metallic thin layer and depositing it on the roughed heat sensitive layer or the roughed contrast layer.A desired pattern is thermally recorded by heating in said desired pattern the heat sensitive layer and the metallic thin layer of the above thermal recording medium to melt the heated areas of said metallic thin layer and disperse the molten metallic thin layer as fine particles into the heat sensitive layer touching said metallic thin layer thereby destroying it in the above desired pattern.

Abstract: A turntable driving system of a microwave oven comprises a turntable driving motor mounted in the microwave oven body, a turntable roller unit driven by the turntable driving motor to rotate a turntable, and a coupling for transmitting the output from the turntable driving motor to the turntable roller unit. The turntable roller unit comprises at least three rollers which are placed between the turntable and the oven chamber inner bottom wall at positions near the turntable peripheral edge so as to support the turntable virtually horizontally, wire metal rods in the same quantity as the rollers, extending radially from the position corresponding to the turntable bottom center toward the turntable peripheral edge and rotatably supporting the rollers, and a concaved cap mounted in the radial center of the metal rods so as to cover the coupling from the upper side for engagement with the circumferential wall of the coupling.

Abstract: A thermal printer for transferring ink from an inked film onto paper using a thermal head includes an inked film feeding mechanism for feeding the inked film, a paper feeding mechanism for feeding the paper, and a platen located opposite the thermal head. For printing the thermal head is brought to the platen with a paper positioned between the thermal head and the platen by the paper feeding mechanism. A release mechanism for releasing the thermal head from the platen is provided. Also provided is a control apparatus which responds to the activation of the release mechanism to disable the film feeding mechanism, thereby stopping the feeding of the inked film at the time the thermal head is released from the platen. The control apparatus also operates to enable the paper feeding mechanism to feed the paper between the thermal head and platen when the thermal head is released from the platen.

Abstract: A microwave oven with a capability of functioning as an electric heating oven comprises an oven cavity surrounded by a heat insulating wall or an athermanous wall. A forced air flow reating means includes a damper means for creating the air flow within the oven cavity when the microwave heating operation is performed, and for creating the air flow around the oven cavity wall when the electric heating operation is performed.
