Abstract:
A surface of a fixed scroll which is opposed to a end plate of an orbiting scroll existing outside of a lap of the fixed scroll is formed with: a substantially annular seal portion which extends such as to have an outer wall surface of the fixed scroll outwardly extending from an inner wall surface of outermost periphery of the lap substantially along the inner wall surface, and which comes into slide contact with the end plate of the orbiting scroll; a substantially annular recess located outside of the substantially annular seal portion; and a recess which is brought into communication with an intake port of the fixed scroll independently from the substantially annular recess. With this, back pressure of the orbiting scroll is increased, and turning-over phenomenon of the orbiting scroll can be suppressed.
Abstract:
A holographic element is a reflective holographic element formed on a substrate and constituted by a composite hologram having a plurality of patterns of interference fringes composed of interference fringes nonparallel to the substrate. The holographic element forms, out of image light having a predetermined wavelength width emanating from an image display element, a plurality of observation pupils at spatially different locations, and acts in such a way as to fulfill prescribed conditions for an identical incident ray over the entire area in which the image light is incident on the holographic element.

Abstract:
The method for producing an epoxy resin involving the steps of: reacting at least one phenol compound with at least one aldehyde compound to obtain a novolak resin; storing the novolak resin in a molten state in an inert gas atmosphere; feeding the stored novolak resin into an epoxidation reactor; and reacting the stored novolak resin with an epihalohydrin compound, which prevents generation of dust improving the working environment, increases production efficiency reducing production cost, and further suppresses quality degradation such as coloring of the epoxy resin.
Abstract:
An epoxy resin composition comprising (A) an epoxy resin represented by the general formula (1) ##STR1## wherein each R.sub.1, independent of the other, represents hydrogen, a hologen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, substituted- or nonsubstituted-phenyl groups, and X represents ##STR2## and n represents an integer of 0 to 4, and (B) a curing agent, which composition provides a cured product exhibiting low hygroscopicity and high adhesiveness.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor comprises a generally cylindrical casing and stationary and orbiting scrolls both accommodated in the casing. The stationary and orbiting scrolls engage with each other to define a plurality of compression chambers therebetween. The orbiting scroll is driven by a drive shaft which is in turn supported by a frame having a thrust bearing formed thereon. One of an orbiting end plate of the orbiting scroll and the thrust bearing has an annular groove defined therein in which an annular seal member is received. The orbiting scroll is disposed between the stationary scroll and the frame with an axial gap defined therebetween. First, second, and third back chambers are formed on the opposite side of the compression chambers with respect to the orbiting end plate. The first and second back chambers are partitioned by the annular seal member. The second back chamber is provided radially outwardly of the first back chamber and between the orbiting end plate and the thrust bearing, while the third back chamber is provided radially outwardly of the second back chamber. Oil passages are provided to introduce lubricating oil accommodated in the casing into the first chamber in which a discharge pressure acts. The oil passages act to supply part of the lubricating oil to the second chamber and then to the third chamber while reducing the pressure of the lubricating oil until the lubricating oil is eventually introduced into the suction chamber.
Abstract:
There is provided an epoxy resin composition represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl or cycloalkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or halogen, R.sub.2 to R.sub.4 independently represent hydrogen, an alkyl or cycloalkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or halogen, and X represents hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms, or an aryl group, and n represents an average number of repeating units of 0.1 to 1.6. Cured products prepared from the epoxy resin have a lower hygroscopicity and a balance between thermal resistance and curing performance.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of manufacturing solvent-soluble polyorganosilsesquioxanes of the formula; ##STR1## wherein each R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl or halogen-substituted alkyl group of 1-5 carbon atoms, or substituted or unsubstituted phenyl of 6-10 carbon atoms, and n is 2-10,000; which comprises reacting an organotriacetoxysilane with a stoichiometric quantity of alcohol and/or water in an organic solvent to obtain a diacetoxymonoalkoxysilane, which is condensation polymerized in the presence of sodium hydrogencarbonate to obtain a prepolymer, which prepolymer is then condensation polymerized by heat in the presence of a catalyst selected from alkali metal hydroxides, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, alkali metal fluorides, alkaline earth metal fluorides and triethylamine.
Abstract:
An oligomeric cage-like poly(silsesquioxane) of the general formula ##STR1## in which R is a monovalent hydrocarbon group and m is 4 to 12, can be polymerized by being admixed with a catalyst, e.g. alkali hydroxide or fluoride, and irradiated with microwaves. Different from conventional method of thermal polymerization, the polymerization reaction proceeds very uniformly at a high velocity to give a polymer of a high average molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution.
