There is provided a water-absorptive composite comprising a fibrous substrate bearing water-absorptive polymer particles. A process for producing the water-absorptive composite comprises the steps of: allowing an aqueous monomer solution containing a polymerizable monomer capable of providing a water-absorptive polymer to initiate polymerization by the use of a redox polymerization initiator; applying the resultant reaction mixture, which is in the course of polymerization, dropwise onto a fibrous substrate; and allowing the polymerization to proceed and finish on the substrate.

An SRAM disclosed herein includes 64 memory cell array blocks and a redundant memory cell array block. The redundant memory cell array includes a total of 16 redundant memory cell columns. A defect address indicating a location of a defective memory column is programmed in an address programming circuit, and the specific defecting column in the defect address is programmed in an I/O programming circuit. Although each memory cell does not include a spare memory cell column or row for redundancy, the defect can be repaired by using a redundant memory cell array, so that the high integration of the SRAM can be accomplished.

An improved flash EEPROM with a sense amplifier having a sensing characteristics suitable for sensing a data signal under an externally applied supply voltage Vcc in a lower range, and a sense amplifier having a sensing characteristics suitable for sensing a data signal under the supply voltage Vcc in a higher range. A Vcc level detecting device detects in which range the supply voltage Vcc is in, soasto selectively enable one of sense amplifiers. Since the data signal is amplified using the sense amplifier having the optimum sensing characteristics in accordance with the level of the supply voltage, the stored data can be accurately read.

A process and an apparatus for distilling water in which a heat receiving plate member and a plurality of cooling plate members have a means for holding water to be treated on each reverse side thereof and are arranged in parallel spaced relationship with each other, and the water vapor produced by heating the heat receiving surface of the heat receiving plate member is condensed on the condensing surface of the adjacent cooling plate member, while giving the latent heat of the condensation to the cooling plate member and heating a water held on its back to produce the water vapor which is condensed on the condensing surface of the next cooling plate member, such evaporation by the latent heat and condensation being conducted according the number of rooms partitioned by adjacent two cooling plate members. There are apparatuses of two types, i.e. thermal diffusion type and convection type, and they are availably employed for purifying impure water or desalting sea water in high heat efficiency by utilizing various heat sources such as solar heat.

Provided is a composition for a lightweight heat-insulating material having high heat-insulating properties. The composition for a heat-insulating material contains a fibrous material, inorganic foamed particles, a thermosetting resin, and a foaming agent. Since the composition for a heat-insulating material contains the inorganic foamed particles and the foaming agent in addition to the fibrous material and the thermosetting resin, the weight can be reduced and the thermal conductivity can be lowered due to the inorganic foamed particles having low specific gravity. Further, the thermosetting resin is caused to foam by the foaming agent, and the weight can be reduced and the thermal conductivity can be lowered. A lightweight heat-insulating material having high-insulating properties can be obtained.

In an exhaust system, there are provided an HC absorbent which absorbs HC contained in exhaust when in a specified low-temperature range and desorbs the absorbed HC when it exceeds said low-temperature range, and a catalyst capable of at least removing HC by oxidation, where the catalyst is arranged at the same position as or downstream of the HC absorbent. When it is found that the HC absorbent is in a state ready for desorbing the absorbed HC (S16, S18) and the internal combustion engine is in a specified decelerating state (S14), fuel supply to some of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine is stopped while fuel is supplied to the other cylinders (partial fuel cut) (S22).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a degradation estimating apparatus for an unburned fuel component adsorption catalyst, which is connected with an internal combustion engine and has an unburned fuel component adsorbent and an oxygen storage component. The apparatus includes a degradation estimating unit for making estimation for a degradation of the unburned fuel component adsorption catalyst on the basis of a first term and a second term. The first term that is from the cancellation of the fuel supply to detecting a variation of an upstream side air-fuel ratio occurring due to the increase of the reductant quantity in the exhaust gas. The second term that is from the cancellation of the fuel supply to detecting of a variation of the downstream side air-fuel ratio due to an increase of the reductant quantity.

The lactosucrose high-content powder according to the present invention is prepared by allowing an aqueous solution containing sucrose and lactose to act on a saccharidetransferring enzyme, removing concomitant saccharides in the resultant saccharide solution containing lactosucrose to obtain a solution having a high concentration of lactosucrose, i.e. lactosucrose content of 45 w/w % or more of the sugar composition, and spraydrying the resultant solution to obtain a powder having a high concentration of lactosucrose. The powder is incorporated in an orally- or parenterally-administrable product to obtain an orally- or parenterally-administrable product which exerts a selective growth-promoting-effect on a microorganism of the genus Bifidobacterium in vivo.
