Abstract: An inflatable belt (2B) has an envelope-like belt body (10) and a knit cover (12), which
is made from a textile fabric and encloses the belt body (10). The belt body (10) is formed such
that the parts corresponding to the chest and abdomen of a passenger in a seat arc wider
than the other parts. The wider part is then folded such that the belt body (10) is formed in a
long band-like configuration. The knit cover (12) is knitted such that it can stretch in a supple
fashion in its width direction, but is hard to stretch in the longitudinal direction of the
belt. The inflatable belt (2B) comprising the belt body (10) and the knit cover (12) is connected to a
webbing (2a) by a seam. The connected portion is covered by a synthetic resin cover (30). This
structure provides a passenger protective belt, which has a connected portion between an
inflatable belt (2B) and a webbing (2a), that softly fits the contours of a passengers body.

Abstract: A coating method and coating apparatus with which a thin
film having a uniform thickness free from stripe or step
unevenness of a coating composition is formed at a high speed.
An extrusion-type coating head is provided which has a front
edge and at least one back edge, the front edge being disposed
on the upstream side in the direction of movement of a
support, the back edge being disposed on the downstream side
in the direction of movement of the support, and the back edge
having a top end which is set back stepwise from the front
edge in the direction away from the support. Coating is
performed under the conditions that the pressure P c  of the
coating composition at a point of application of the coating
composition onto the support is in a range of 0 ≤ P c  ≤ 0.25
kgw/cm 2 , while liquid sealing is obtained with a composition
mainly containing an organic solvent applied in advance to a
coating surface of the support. The ratio of t 1 /t 0  satisfies
the relation 0.2 ≤ t 1 /t 2  ≤ 20, where t 0  represents the
thickness of the coating composition before drying just after
coating, and t 1  represents the length of a perpendicular line
from the top end of the most downstream side back edge to a
tangent drawn between the front edge and a conveyance roll on
the downstream side of the coating head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing acrylate esters, methacrylate
esters, polyester acrylates and/or polyester methacrylates by reacting acrylic and/or
methacrylic acid with a monohydroxy containing compound and/or a polyhydroxy
containing compound in a reaction vessel, in the presence of a catalyst, a polymerization
inhibitor and dense phase carbon dioxide. The dense phase carbon dioxide is in either a
sub-critical, near-critical, critical or supercritical physical state. Advantages of using dense
phase carbon dioxide as the solvent include the preparation of (meth)acrylate esters and
polyester (meth)acrylates in an environmentally friendly manner by reducing or eliminating
the need for hydrocarbon solvents, reducing or eliminating the problems associated with
handling hydrocarbon solvents, simplifying recovery of products, and recovery and recycle of
reactants as compared to the conventional esterification synthesis. In addition, the
products produce by the process of this invention can have improved color and purity.

Abstract: A bogie rail vehicle includes two elongate vehicle bodies (10, 11), adjacent ends
of which are connected to a common bogie (12) by coupling arms (22) which extend
longitudinally from the vehicle bodies to the bogie and allow vertical and lateral
movement between the vehicle bodies and the bogie. The weight of the vehicle bodies
is transmitted to the bogie by horizontal bearing surfaces (30, 34) which are separate
from the couplings, so that the couplings are not required to transmit significant vertical
loads to the bogie. The couplings can therefore be less robust than has previously been
required and, as a result, may be less costly and take up less space. The geometry of the
couplings may also reduce the overthrow of the vehicle bodies, when traversing curved
track.

Abstract: A prosthetic heart valve (11) comprising a tubular valve body (13) and a pair of leaflets (15) which pivot, or translate and pivot, between open and closed positions. The valve body is of circular interior cross section except for a pair of diametrically opposed flat wall sections (23) which contain recesses (25) within which the pivot axes of the leaflets are located. Arcuate edges (35) of the leaflets are irregularly shaped so that a pair of protrusions (73) extend radially outward from an otherwise generally semicircular periphery. The protrusions (73) are strategically located so as to contact the interior surface of the valve body in the closed position at arcuately spaced apart locations which flank the centerline of the leaflet. As a result, contact in the closed position occurs at two spaced apart locations rather than at a single location, and at least a minimum gap is established at the central tip (71) of the leaflet which counteracts potential cavitation, noise and hemolysis.
