Abstract: A manufacturing method for a tampon having an absorbent body that absorbs liquid includes obtaining the absorbent body by compressing and shaping an absorbent-body material, and applying a melted agent to an outer surface of the absorbent body, the outer surface having a temperature lower than or equal to a freezing point of a main ingredient of the agent.

Abstract: A process is provided for making a composite work article suitable for fabricating rigid sheet metal can components. A steel sheet having first and second surfaces is pre-treated to enhance reception and retention of a multi-layer polymer coating on the pre-treated first surface. The multi-layer polymer coating is melt extruded on the pre-treated first surface and beyond opposite lateral edges of the work article to establish overhang portions, then solidified. The multi-layer polymeric coating has a tie polymeric layer contacting the pre-treated first surface, and a finish-surface polymeric layer.

Abstract: A monomer is selected to produce a polymeric film having desirable characteristics for a particular application. The monomer is ppolymerized under controlled conditions to produce a solid oligomer having those characteristics at a molecular weight suitable for evaporation under vacuum at a temperature lower than its thermal decomposition temperature. The process of polymerization to produce the oligomer is carried out under conditions that yield a finite molecular-chain length with no residual reactive groups. The solid oligomer so produced is extruded as a film onto a revolving drum (38) in the evaporation section (40) of a vapor deposition chamber, and then cryocondensed on a cold substrate (44) to form a solid film having the same characteristic selected in the solid oligomer constituting the starting material. As a result of the initial complete reaction to produce the oligomer, the thin-film product does not contain unreacted groups and all attendant disadvantages are avoided.

Abstract: An inexpensive sheet with excellent evenness and a desired uniform thickness can be obtained by cooling a base having protrusions, dipping the surfaces of the protrusions of the cooled base into a melt material containing at least one of a metal material and a semiconductor material for crystal growth of the material on the surfaces of the protrusions. In addition, by rotating a roller having on its peripheral surface protrusions and a cooling portion for cooling said protrusions, the surfaces of the cooled protrusions can be dipped into a melt material containing at least one of a metal material and a semiconductor material for crystal growth of the material on the surfaces of the protrusions. Thus, a sheet with a desired uniform thickness can be obtained without slicing process.

Abstract: Structured polyolefin coated substrates and processes for making the same are disclosed. A chill roll is used to impart a plurality of peaks which protrude outwardly from the polyolefin coating of the structured substrate. In addition, the chill roll surface is treated to impart a matte finish and thus to transfer a matte finish to the area surrounding the peaks of the polyolefin coating.

Abstract: A perpendicular magnetic recording media and method of manufacturing therefore includes a nonmagnetic substrate, an underlayer deposited on the nonmagnetic substrate, and a magnetic recording layer formed on the underlayer, quickly heated, and quenched. A protective layer is deposited on the magnetic recording layer, and a liquid lubricant layer is deposited on the protective layer, to improve an uniaxial anisotropy Ku and a coercive force Hc of the magnetic recording layer.

Abstract: A method of applying decoration onto an article, the method comprising the steps consisting in: placing backing coated in a sublimable ink in contact with a face of the article; and heating the backing with the help of heating means to cause the ink to sublime and be transferred onto the article, while cooling the opposite face of the article with the help of cooling means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a foil material wherein a plastic foil is provided with a lacquer layer having variable viscosity, and a relief structure is then embossed into the lacquer layer. At least during application of the lacquer layer and during the embossing process the viscosity of the lacquer layer is adjusted to a predetermined value and kept constant during the particular phase of operation. The invention fixer relates to an apparatus for carrying out this method.

Abstract: A monomer is selected to produce a polymeric film having desirable characteristics for a particular application. The monomer is polymerized under controlled conditions to produce a solid oligomer having those characteristics at a molecular weight suitable for evaporation under vacuum at a temperature lower than its thermal decomposition temperature. The process of polymerization to produce the oligomer is carried out under conditions that yield a finite molecular-chain length with no residual reactive groups. The solid oligomer so produced is liquefied and extruded as a film onto a revolving drum in the evaporation section of a conventional vapor deposition chamber, and it is then cryocondensed on a cold substrate to form a solid thin film having the same desirable characteristic selected in the solid oligomer constituting the starting material.

Abstract: A substrate which has been heated to a predetermined temperature by a heating unit during sputtering is transferred into an unload-lock chamber having a vacuum pump system and a vent gas introducing system. The unload-lock chamber is provided with a cooling stage which makes surface contact with the substrate so as to forcedly cool the substrate to a predetermined temperature. The substrate is placed on the cooling stage and forcedly cooled. After the substrate is cooled to the predetermined temperature or lower, the vent gas introducing system is operated so that the interior of the unload-lock chamber is returned to the atmospheric pressure ambient. Since the substrate under a high temperature condition does not make contact with the atmospheric pressure ambient, film properties are prevented from being varied.
