Contaminants present inside an ultrapure water production system are prevented from being fed into a feed pipe connected to a water use point and, after sterilization cleaning, the system is prevented from being contaminated by contaminants captured on a microparticle removal membrane during sterilization cleaning. Ultrapure water having high quality is thereby fed to a water use point within a short period of time. An ultrapure water production system is provided with a tank, a pump, a heat exchanger, an ultraviolet device, an ion-exchange device, a first microparticle removal membrane device, and a second microparticle removal membrane device. Parts of sterilization water and flush water are fed into the first microparticle removal membrane device and discharged from a feedwater-side potion to a concentrated-water-side portion without permeating through a microparticle removal membrane thereof, and the remaining part of the water is passed through the second microparticle removal membrane device.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an anion exchange resin, wherein the method includes the step of contacting a water soluble polymer containing an anionic dissociative group with a resin to produce an anion exchange resin. In the method, an amount of contact of the water soluble polymer is 0.01 to 10 mmol/L, in terms of an amount of the anionic dissociative group, relative to 1 liter of the anion exchange resin, and a wafer surface flatness (Rms) of the anion exchange resin is 4 &#x212b; or less, determined by a silicon wafer test.

A method for manufacturing an anion exchange resin, in which remaining of impurities and generation of decomposition products are suppressed and leachables are reduced, the method including the following steps (1-a) to (1-e) of: (1-a) obtaining a cross-linked copolymer by copolymerizing a monovinyl aromatic monomer and a cross-linkable aromatic monomer; (1-b) specifying the content of a specific leachable compound to be 400 &#x3bc;g or less relative tog of the cross-linked copolymer; (1-c) haloalkylating the cross-linked copolymer so as to introduce 80 percent by mole or less of haloalkyl group relative to the monovinyl aromatic monomer; (1-d) removing a specific leachable compound from the haloalkylated cross-linked copolymer; and (1-e) subjecting the haloalkylated cross-linked copolymer to a reaction with an amine compound.

Water quality evaluation method and substrate contacting apparatus used

An engine employing oval pistons and cylinders with dual connecting rods for each piston. The connecting rods are connected to each piston by a common wrist pin and to a composite crankshaft. The crankshaft includes a main bearing between the connecting rods of each of the pistons. It also includes a middle portion associated with each piston including two crank pins and the shaft therebetween for receipt of the centrally located main bearing.

Internal combustion engine

A piston ring for an oblong piston is adapted to be received in a peripheral groove on the piston. The piston ring is split and the gap between the split ends is located at the center of one of two spaced curved sections of said piston ring. A corrugated spring is received in the peripheral groove within the piston ring and a gap between its split ends is positioned adjacent a side section which extends between the spaced curved sections. The corrugations which contact the side section are closer together than those which contact the curved end sections of the piston ring. This construction helps to equalize the pressure of the piston ring against the cylinder at points around the outer surface of the piston ring.

Piston ring

A four cylinder four cycle spark ignition engine has oblong pistons each mounted to reciprocate in sliding contact with an oblong cylinder. Intake valves in a series are positioned in a straight line on one side of and parallel to a central plane extending through the longest dimension of each oblong cylinder. Exhaust valves in a series are positioned in a straight line on the other side of and parallel to that central plane. A cam shaft operates all of the intake valves and another cam shaft operates all of the exhaust valves.

Oblong piston and cylinder for internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine has an oblong piston mounted to reciprocate within an oblong cylinder. The piston is elongated in a direction parallel to the axis of the crankshaft and is provided with piston rings which have sliding contact with the surface of the oblong cylinder. Each piston ring is split and is formed of at least two segments. Gaps may be provided between adjacent ends of the segments and stationary pins fixed on the piston may be received in these gaps. The gaps on one piston ring are misaligned with respect to the gaps on another piston ring.
