In a nuclear fuel storage rack including a plurality of rack cells () configured to house a nuclear fuel assembly, the rack cell () includes a plurality of plate members (to) containing a radiation absorption material and stood to form a nuclear fuel housing space () configured to house the nuclear fuel assembly, and a fastening unit () configured to fasten the plurality of plate members (to). Each of the plate members (to) includes projections () protruding outward in a lateral direction from one side end and the other side end extending in an upward/downward direction (T), and concave sections () formed at one side end side and the other side by the projections (). The projections () protruding outward from outer surfaces of the plate members (to) in the lateral direction are fastened by the fastening unit ().

An adhesive composition of the present invention comprises (A) a conjugated diene polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 500 to 100,000 and (B) an electron pair-donating basic compound; or comprises (A) a conjugated diene polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 500 to 100,000, (C) a compound having in its molecule three or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of acryloyloxy group, methacryloyloxy group and groups represented by the following formula I: wherein R, Rand m are the same as defined in the specification, and (D) a compound having in its molecule one or two functional groups selected from the group consisting of acryloyloxy group and methacryloyloxy group. At least a part of the surface of an adherend is coated with the adhesive composition to form an adhesive layer. After optionally irradiating the adhesive layer with ultraviolet light or radiation, the vulcanization is preformed while bringing an unvulcanized rubber into press-contact with the adhesive layer, thereby attaining a strong adhesion between the rubber and the adherend. The rubber/adherend composite thus produced is suitably used for the production of rubber-reinforcing materials and rubber articles.

Adhesive composition and method for bonding to rubber

An adhesive composition according to the invention comprises a thermoplastic high molecular weight polymer (A) containing a crosslinkable functional group as a pendant group and substantially free of carbon-carbon double bond with a hydrogen radical at its allyl position in the main chain, a water-soluble high polymer (B) and a compound (C) having a structure with methylene linked aromatics having polar functional groups, or comprises the thermoplastic high molecular weight polymer (A) and a specified aqueous urethane compound (I), or comprises the water-soluble high polymer (B) and the aqueous urethane compound (I). And also, a resin material is coated with the adhesive composition and a rubber article is reinforced therewith, which is utilized as a rubber member of a pneumatic tire.

An ink jet recording apparatus has means for heating a recording medium guide member disposed near the ink recording area by a recording head for discharging ink, and means for changing the rate of heat imparted to the unit length of the recording medium with respect to the direction of conveyance thereof by the heating means in conformity with a parameter changing the environmental condition of the ink recording area.

Ink jet recording apparatus provided with fixating means

A metal continuously melting and retaining furnace including a retaining chamber which retains therein a molten metal fed from a melting chamber, a ladling chamber from which the molten metal is ladled out, and a treating chamber between the retaining and ladling chambers and having means of producing bubbles of a molten metal-refining gas and means of stirring the molten metal. A molten metal inlet port between the retaining chamber and the treating chamber and a molten metal outlet port between the treating chamber and the ladling chamber are disposed so as not to face directly to each other. In addition, a bubble baffle plate stands on the bottom surface of the treating chamber near the molten metal outlet port so as to oppose thereto. This makes it possible to provide a molten metal with a good yield, which is refined to a higher degree and is most suitable for producing a high quality thin cast product by casting. This also inhibits molten metal refining gas bubbles with inclusions entrained therein from flowing into the molten metal outlet port to reliably prevent reduction in the degree of refining the molten metal in the ladling chamber.

A method of cleaning a discharge port surface of an ink jet recording apparatus includes wiping the surface using a blade having a certain contact area with the surface and rubbing the surface using a rubbing member having a larger contact area with the surface than the blade. The wiping and rubbing operations are performed independently of each other so that their different purposes can be better accomplished. For example, since rubbing the surface need not be done as often as wiping, they can both be performed at optimum intervals. The rubbing member can be removably mounted to a replacement ink cartridge so that the rubbing member can be conveniently replaced at the same time as the cartridge.

A printer for performing recording successively while a recording head moves backwards and forwards in a predetermined direction with respect to a recording medium such as paper. A paper hold roller for pressing the recording medium against a platen in the vicinity of a recording area opposite to a print head is detachable from the platen in relation to the movement of a carriage for carrying the recording head. The presence and absence of paper is detected to control the paper feed. An ink ribbon is provided which has color zones and an ink absorption zone in the direction of the ribbon width for multi-color printing by shifting the ribbon in the width direction by means of the carriage movement so that a selected color zone faces the recording head. The printer further includes a ribbon cassette, means for controlling paper insertion and feeding and means for cleaning the recording head. Also included are a paper bail control, color zone selector and paper detector.
