Abstract: In the process of the present invention for producing a xylylenediamine
by a liquid-phase hydrogenation of a dicyanobenzene in the presence of a
catalyst, the catalyst having its activity decreased during the course of use in
the hydrogenation is reactivated and a pressure drop through a fixed bed
catalyst layer is got rid of, thereby regenerating the catalyst for reuse in the
subsequent hydrogenation of the dicyanobenzene to produce the
xylylenediamine. The catalyst is regenerated by brought into contact with a
hydrogen-containing gas under controlled temperature conditions.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to improve operability when two connectors are connected as a module is assembled with a body while being manually moved in horizontal direction. 
     A module M is assembled with a body B by being displaced downward after being substantially horizontally moved by the guidance of a guiding means 10, and the module M is displaced downward to connect the moving-side connector 20 with a waiting-side connector 40. Since the weight of the module M itself acts as a connecting force at the time of connecting the two connectors 20, 40, it can be easily and securely done to assemble the module M with the body B and to connect the two connectors 20, 40 even if a large connection resistance is created between the two connectors 20, 40. Accordingly, operability is good even if the module M is manually moved.

Abstract: A waveguide 10 is located beside a phase mask 12, which is driven, with a ramp
waveform, to undergo oscillating motion along its longitudinal axis. The phase mask 12
is illuminated with a CW UV laser beam 16, thereby generating a UV interference fringe
pattern extending across the waveguide 10. The waveguide 10 moves continuously in
one direction along its longitudinal axis, past the phase mask 12. Each period of the
ramp waveform comprises two parts: the first part causes the phase mask 12 to move,
in the same direction and at the same speed as the waveguide 10, for a distance equal
to the width of the fringe pattern. As a result, the UV interference fringe pattern moves
along with the waveguide 10, and a section of grating is fabricated. The second part
causes the phase mask 12 to move rapidly in the opposite direction, flying back to its
starting position and the next section of the grating is fabricated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel cell having an
electricity generator which has an oxygen electrode, a fuel
electrode, and a solid polymer type electrolyte membrane
disposed between the oxygen electrode and the fuel electrode,
and a method for controlling the fuel cell. The fuel cell has
a problem in that the electrolyte membrane is dried to lower
the ion-exchange characteristics when lowering the load
current or increasing the air feed rate during the operation
or when allowing the fuel cell to stand for a long time, so
that the output of the fuel cell is considerably lowered. In
the present invention, a load control portion for permitting
a load on the fuel cell to vary depending on the output state
of the fuel cell or an air feeding control portion is proved
in the fuel cell and controlled to increase the load current
or suppress the air feeding when the output characteristics
are lowered or the internal resistance value is increased,
thus solving the above problem.
