Abstract:
A process for producing nonionic detergent granules having a bulk density of from 0.6 to 1.2 g/ml is disclosed, which comprises the following steps (1) to (3):(1) mixing a detergent material comprising a nonionic surfactant;(2) granulating a mixture obtained in said step (1) by agitating in an agitating mixer provided at the center position thereof with a rotation shaft having an agitation impeller with a clearance between the agitation impeller and an inner wall of the mixer, wherein the agitation impeller agitates the mixture to form an adhesion layer of said mixture on said inner wall of said mixer so as to increase a bulk density of granules of the mixture; and(3) mixing the granules obtained in said step (2) with fine particles to thereby coat the surface of the granules with the fine particles. The nonionic detergent granules containing a nonionic surfactant in a high content and having high bulk density and excellent powder fluidity and non-caking property can be produced in the process of the present invention with less suffering from restriction in the composition.
Abstract:
The heat exchanger includes a plurality of heat transfer tubes 1, 1 . . . arranged in parallel, and a multiplicity of mesh-form fins 2, 2 . . . arranged parallel to axes of the tubes and joined to the heat transfer tubes 1, 1 . . . . Each of the heat transfer tubes 1 consists of a pair of tube component members 4, 4 of a half cylindrical configuration having, at their respective circumferential ends, joining flanges 4a, 4b extending along the axis of the tube. The opposed joining flanges 4a, 4b of the tube component members 4, 4 are joined together by being pressed against the fins 2, 2 from outer side thereof. This provides for improvement in operating efficiency in the process of assembling heat transfer tubes and mesh-form fins together.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for extracting an amino acid ester from a hydrous solution which comprises adding thereto a water-insoluble organic solvent and then an amount of a base effective to liberate only a portion of the amino acid ester in free base form, and transferring the thus liberated amino acid ester in the free base form into the organic layer, and repeating the neutralization-extraction steps until all of the amino acid ester has been extracted.
Abstract:
A method for stabilizing an isocyanate compound by adding 10-5000 ppm of phenol to the isocyanate compound, and also an isocyanate composition so stabilized. In the isocyanate composition stabilized by the above method, coloring due to time-dependent changes and the occurrence of turbidity through self-polymerization are both suppressed so that it shows outstanding storage stability compared with a corresponding isocyanate composition containing a conventional stabilizer.
Abstract:
2-Pyrazoline derivatives of the formula (A): ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is a pyridyl, a pyrazyl or an alkoxy group; and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, a pyridyl, a furyl, phenyl or a substituted phenyl group, and to a process for producing the same. Therapeutic agents for treating cerebrovascular diseases containing, as the active ingredient, a 2-pyrazoline derivative represented by the formula (G): ##STR2## where R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, acetyl, an alkoxycarbonyl, an amino, benzoyl, a substituted benzoyl, a pyridylcarbonyl, a furylcarbonyl, a thienylcarbonyl, a pyrazylcarbonyl, an N-substituted carbamoyl, an N-substituted thiocarbamoyl, or carboxy group; and R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl, a pyridyl, a thienyl, a furyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or a substituted phenyl group or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. These therapeutic agents cope with cerebral edemas in the acute stage of cerebral apoplexy and regulates the whole-body and intracranial body circulation, thereby protecting ischemic lesions and minimizing the spread to affected parts.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus movably adhering to a wall and which may include a cleaning apparatus or coating apparatus affixed thereto for removing rust and paint from the vertical or inclined walls of large structures such as ships, oil-tanks or the like or for finishing bead welds thereon, and more particularly to an apparatus movable along a wall comprising four magnetic or vacuum adhering members which alternately adhere to the wall two by two as they are operated by remote-control to move the apparatus in the desired direction on the vertical or inclined wall.
Abstract:
A liquid discharge device includes a liquid discharge unit that discharges a liquid and a cleaner. The liquid discharge unit has a first end, a second end, and a third end extending in a direction intersecting the first end and the second end. The cleaner moves relative to the liquid discharge unit in a movement direction from the first end toward the second end while contacting the liquid discharge unit with a contact force and a contact pressure. The contact force of the cleaner contacting one of the first end and the second end is smaller than the contact force of the cleaner contacting a portion of the liquid discharge unit other than the first end and the second end.

Abstract:
A liquid discharge apparatus includes a head including a nozzle plate having a plurality of nozzles lined in a row and configured to discharge a liquid, a conveyor configured to convey the liquid application target, and a liquid receptacle configured to receive the liquid discharged from the head. The conveyor defines a conveyance passage of a liquid application target to which the head applies the liquid. The liquid receptacle has an opening through which the liquid discharged from the head passes. A longitudinal direction of the opening is along a movement direction of the liquid application target. A width of the opening is greater than a width of the liquid application target in a direction orthogonal to the movement direction.
Abstract:
A tumor marker comprising diacetylspermine, and a method of evaluating the state of a tumor, comprising reacting an antibody to diacetylspermine with a biological sample to thereby detect diacetylspermine and evaluating the state of the tumor using the obtained detection results as an indicator.
