Abstract:
A process for producing shaped articles having improved surfaces, characterized by subjecting a shaped article of a polymer derived from a monomeric material comprising an acrylate and/or methacrylate to at least one of a hot water treatment, an aqueous alkali solution treatment and an aqueous acid solution treatment. Shaped articles obtained by this process have an advantage that when the surfaces thereof are stained the removal of the stains is quite easy. Moreover, they are hydrophilic and have excellent wettability by water. Therefore, said shaped articles are extremely suitable for use as contact lens.
Abstract:
A uniformly colored shaped article which is resistant to discoloration and fading can be produced by immersing a shaped article, particularly a contact lens, consisting of a polymer of at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylates and methacrylates in a dyeing solution prepared by dissolving a water-soluble dye in a solvent capable of swelling said polymer, to swell and color the shaped article, and then drying the swollen shaped article.
Abstract:
A device for measuring a weft, particularly a drum type weft length measuring device for shuttleless looms is disclosed. The device is provided with a length measuring drum for coilingly winding a weft supplied from a weft supply bobbin and a pair of weft engaging pins for controlling a winding amount of the weft on the drum and a shift of the wound weft towards the weft drawing-out direction. The weft engaging pins are linearly movable in their own axial directions for protruding from and retracting into the drum, alternately. These protruding and retracting positions are shiftable in the axial direction of the drum.
Abstract:
In a multiple digital controller system which comprises a main or first digital controller and at least one stand-by or second digital controller and in which the main digital controller normally applies the control signal to an object to be controlled, and the stand-by digital controller applies the control signal to the controlled object when the main digital controller is disabled, an improvement is made so that an undesirable level variation may not substantially occur in the control signal applied to the controlled object during the transient state of switch-over from the main digital controller to the stand-by digital controller. In the improved multiple digital controller system according to the present invention, the integral calculation to be carried out in the stand-by digital controller in a period n (n=2, 3, . . . ) is executed on the basis of the data representing the result of integral calculation carried out in the preceding period (n-1) in the main digital controller and transmitted from the main digital controller, in order to eliminate the influence of the difference in conversion error occurring in the A/D converters of the digital controllers.
Abstract:
A color liquid crystal display device wherein a nematic liquid crystal to which a dichroic dye and an optically active substance have been added is used as the liquid crystal layer and the amount of said optically active substance added is so selected as to fall in a range making steep the threshold voltage characteristics of the liquid crystal.
Abstract:
A damper for a stringed instrument has an elastic foldable web provided with catch members positioned at the end portions thereof, a hinge portion positioned at the longitudinally central portion thereof and notches of substantially isosceles triangular shape disposed close to and outwardly from the hinge portion. On the inner surface of the foldable web a resilient spongy member is secured. When the foldable web is folded for holding the strings of a stringed instrument in between the upper and lower layers of the resilient spongy member and the catch members are fastened, the strings are compressed by the spongy member and the sounds produced from the strings may be lowered.
Abstract:
A two-axis hinge unit is provided with a first rotating shaft that rotates so as to open in the vertical direction from a folded state with a first casing and a second casing overlapping and a second rotating shaft that rotates so as to open in the horizontal direction from a folded state with the first casing and the second casing overlapping, and is provided with a restriction member positioned between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft that, when one of the rotating shafts is in a predetermined rotational position, is pressed by this one rotating shaft and engages with the other rotating shaft, thereby restricting rotation of that other rotating shaft.

Abstract:
A resin molding mold 20 with a cavity 21 has a resin injection port 29a from which a molding resin 25 is injected toward the cavity 21, and an air release port 30a from which air from the cavity 21 is released during resin injection. Not only the resin injection port 29a but also the air release port 30a is formed in a top surface portion 21a of the cavity 21. Thus, even if a resin burr remains in the resin injection port 29a or the air release port 30a, it can be prevented from adhering to an external terminal 4A provided on a front surface portion 2a of the substrate 2.
