Abstract: The subject invention produces a water-absorbent resin by carrying out stationary polymerization of an ethylenically-unsaturated monomer containing acrylic acid and/or acrylate; cutting the resulting hydrous gelatinous polymer; and drying the hydrous gelatinous polymer which mainly contains angular particles having 6 smooth planes. The resulting water-absorbent resin particles are not aggregate, and can be efficiently dried. By coating at least a part of the surface of each of the particles with an adhesion block agent before, after, and/or at the time of cutting process, the adhesion preventing effect further increases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for producing particles whereby dense particles (especially, spherical particles) composed of a calcium phosphate-based compound can be efficiently produced at low cost, particles which are produced by the method, and an adsorption apparatus which is produced by using the particles as an adsorbent. The method for producing particles comprises preparing a liquid containing primary particles composed of a calcium phosphate-based compound and a dispersion medium; feeding the liquid into a heated atmosphere in the form of droplets to obtain aggregates of the primary particles by removing the dispersion medium from each of the droplets and then bring the aggregates into a molten state so that each of the aggregates is formed into a spherical shape; and solidifying the aggregates in the molten state to obtain dense secondary particles. The heated atmosphere preferably contains plasma produced by ionization of an ambient gas. Further, the plasma forms a plasma flame in the heated atmosphere; and the droplets are preferably fed into the circumferential portion of the plasma flame

Abstract: An ion conducting actuator (100) includes a substrate (101) which is made of a polymer material, and facing electrodes (102,103) for generating an electric field. In the ion conducting actuator (100), a shape of the substrate (101) is deformed to a desired shape by distributing unevenly ions and/or polar molecules in the substrate (101) by applying a voltage between the facing electrodes (102,103). A deformation state is formed by a shape-maintained time t2 for which the shape of the substrate (101) is maintained substantially, and a deformation-start time t1 which is before the shape-maintained time t2, and during which, the shape of the substrate (101) is deformed from an arbitrary shape to a desired shape. A drive voltage V (202) applied to the ion conducting actuator (100) differs during the shape-maintained time t2, and during the deformation-start time t1.

Abstract: The present invention provides a portable casing for carrying instrument (I), particularly musical instrument, very securely. The casing interior is provided with flexible shock absorbing supports (2) on which the non-vulnerable portions of the instrument are laid whereas the delicate and vulnerable portions are held suspended in mid-air. As soon as the casing is closed, the supports get deformed acquiring a loop-shaped structure to encircle and cradle the instrument - parts which overlie thereon and in doing so the instrument is rendered securely captive against any movement. In case of accidental impact the stress generated is borne by the soft lining (1) of the casing and by the shock absorbing supports, rendering the instrument unharmed. The shock absorbing supports are advantageously detachably secured to the inner walls of the casing by retaining means. The present invention also provides a method for housing instrument in a portable casing for transportation.
