Abstract:
A boot seal for variable compression-rate engine includes a boot-seal element, and a reinforcement member. The boot-seal element includes an inner layer, and an outer layer. The inner layer is disposed on the inner face of the boot-seal element, and is composed of a fluorinated rubber. The outer layer is disposed on a more outer side of the boot-seal element than is the inner layer. Moreover, the boot-seal element is formed in a circumferentially developed state so as to have circumferential ends, and is then completed by joining the circumferential ends with each other. Thus, the boot-seal element makes an elastically deformable cylindrical bellows shape having a root that dents inward diametrically. In addition, the reinforcement member is disposed in the root of the cylindrical bellows-shaped boot-seal element at least.

This invention provides a production process, which can stably produce high-quality satin white (calcium trisulfoaluminate) having very small and homogeneous particulate shapes suitable for incorporation into coated paper for printing, and an apparatus for use in said process. In this process for producing calcium trisulfoaluminate, a calcium hydroxide suspension (A) is reacted with an aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) to produce calcium trisulfoaluminate (C). The aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) is added in plurality of stages to the calcium hydroxide suspension (A). At least any one stage of the plurality of stages addition, addition of the aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) to the calcium hydroxide suspension (A) is carried out in such a manner that the aqueous aluminum sulfate solution (B) is continuously added to the calcium hydroxide suspension (A) being continuously transferred.

A hose connecting assembly of the present invention ensures a tight seal even when a hose 30 is bent and laid out in a narrow space and repeatedly is subject to vibrations under a low-temperature condition. The hose connecting assembly includes a connection tube 10, which is pressed into the hose 30. The hose 30 is designed to have an inner diameter change rate Dc of no greater than 23% under application of an inner pressure of about 0.49 MPa. Ring-shaped projections 21, 22, and 23 are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connection tube 10. The ring-shaped projections 21, 22, and 23 are designed to make a diameter expansion rate T, which is defined by an inner diameter d1 of the hose 30 and an outer diameter D2 of the ring-shaped projections 21, 22, and 23, at least 25%. A hollow cylindrical end 18 is further formed on an end portion of the connection tube 10. It is preferable that the hollow cylindrical end 18 has a length of at least about 3 mm.
Abstract:
A branched hose connector includes a branched inner pipe substantially made from a suitable lightweight material, a plurality of hoses connected onto the branched inner pipe, a cover covering the branched inner pipe and a portion of the hoses to join the branched inner pipe and the hoses, and an integrally formed flange projecting outwardly. The branched hose connector is lightweight so that it can be installed with ease via the flange, and it can be manufactured easily and less expensively. Further, the branched hose connector can include a valve member, and a convexity and a concavity provided on opposing end surfaces of the branched inner pipe and the valve member. With these extra features, the valve member can be tightened into the branched inner pipe with a predetermined appropriate torque by a manual operation alone, and it can resist loosening by vibrations, or the like.

A piston includes a piston body, an elastic adhesive layer, and a low thermal-conductivity sheet. The piston body has a piston top surface facing a combustion chamber, and exhibits a first thermal conductivity. The elastic adhesive sheet is formed on the piston top surface of the piston body, and includes a heat resistant resin. The low thermal-conductivity sheet is formed on the elastic adhesive layer, and exhibits a second thermal conductivity being lower than the first thermal conductivity of the piston body and falling in a range of from 5 or more to 40 W/m·K or less.
Abstract:
Providing video telephone apparatus where the orientation of a picked-up image or a received image can be changed according to the orientation of the image pick-up section or the display, thus allowing transmission or display of a proper image at any time.In video telephone apparatus according to the invention, an image pick-up section outputs the image data on the target object to a transmit image rotating section. The transmit image rotating section performs rotation processing on a picked-up image so that the upper side of an image pick-up section in the vertical direction coincides with the upper side of an image to transmit to the distant party, based on the orientation of the image pick-up section detected by an image pick-up vertical direction detector. A picture signal received from the distant party is demodulated and output to a receive image rotating section. The receive image rotating section performs rotation processing so that the upper side of the receive image is at the upper side of a display in the vertical direction, based on the vertical direction of the image pick-up section of the an image pick-up vertical direction detector, that is, the orientation of the display.
Abstract:
A plastic pipe 10 is a pipe utilized in a cooling water systems, and the bonding strength of each layer is heightened, and resistance capabilities of the antifreeze solution are enhanced. The plastic pipe 10 comprises an inner layer 22 formed from either a polyphenylene sulfide or an aromatic polysulfide, which is a denatured substance thereof, an intermediate layer 24, which is a mixture of PPS resin and a polyamide resin, and an outer layer 26 including a polyamide resin. The inner layer 22 is formed such that permeation of an antifreeze, which has mainly ethylene glycol, is less than 3.0 g/m2 per day. The resistance capabilities of the antifreeze solution can be achieved by making the thickness of the inner layer 22 0.2 mm or greater.

Abstract:
A hose connector connects a hose with a pipe which projects through a mounting member, and includes a connector body, an intermediate member and a grommet. The connector body includes a hose connector member, and a pipe connector member. The intermediate member is detachably engaged with the connector body, and includes a second engager and an engager claw. The intermediate member can be assembled with the connector body by simply engaging the second engager with the first engager of the connector body, and can be assembled with the mounting member by simply engaging the engager claw with a mounting hole of the mounting member. The grommet is held on the intermediate member so as to seal a periphery of the mounting hole of the mounting member. The hose connector enables not only to connect a hose with a pipe by snap action, but also to project a pipe through the mounting member by a reduced length.
