An intake system of an internal combustion engine, in which a phase angle between throttle valves is provided in order to perform combustion appropriate for each cylinder so as to stabilize a number of revolutions and thereby suppress generation of unburned gas, is provided. The intake system is provided to intake passages of an internal combustion engine with parallel cylinders. The intake system includes a power transmission mechanism configured to transmit power from a power source to throttle shafts so as to synchronize and simultaneously turn a plurality of throttle valves and thereby open and close the intake passages. At least one of the throttle valves is an angled throttle valve having a phase angle at an open position relative to the other throttle valve.

Intake system

An exhaust muffler for improving the timbre of an exhaust sound in a low engine speed region and for increasing an engine output in a high engine speed region. In an exhaust device for an internal combustion engine for discharging an exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine through a multistage expansion type muffler having a plurality of expansion chambers for silencing the sound of the exhaust gas during the passage thereof, the multistage expansion type muffler includes a first tail pipe for communicating between a most downstream one of the expansion chambers and the outside of the muffler and a second tail pipe for communicating between an upstream one of the expansion chambers on the upstream side of the most downstream expansion chamber and the outside of the muffler.

Exhaust device for internal combustion engine

A biodegradable composite laminate for the manufacture of packaging containers is provided. The composite laminate includes a straight-chain, biodegradable 3-hydroxybutyric acid/3-hydroxyvaleric acid copolyester in a thin film which has been laminated on at least one surface of a sheet-like substrate. A polymeric blend of a poly-.epsilon.-caprolactone with the straight-chain copolyester may be employed in the place of the straight-chain copolyester alone. The method for the manufacture thereof is also provided.

The improved resin composition including a polyolefin, a transition metal containing oxidation catalyst and 0-500 ppm of a radical inhibitor can be used to fabricate a sheet and a container that have good oxygen barrier quality on its own without being combined with expensive other resins that have oxygen barrier quality.

Polyolefinic composition having oxygen barrier property, as well as

The improved process for producing a signature panel comprises the steps of forming on the writing surface of a panel substrate a printed graphic pattern that will change upon exposure to alcohols, organic solvents, bleaching agents and surfactants, and laminating the other surface of the panel substrate with a thermoplastic resin by extrusion or hot melt coating. According to this process, signature panels can be thermocompressed at comparatively low temperatures not only to roll mills of overprint cards using a polyvinyl chloride sheet as an oversheet base but also to card substrates such as PET sheets, metal sheets and glass sheets without causing any adverse effects on the graphic pattern printed on the writing surface of the panel which will change upon exposure to chemicals.

Signature panel and process for producing the same

A waterproof water-vapor-permeable laminated structure obtained by extrusion-laminating a thermoplastic resin layer on a porous base material. This laminated structure is free from pin holes and has a good waterproof property and a feeling of the porous base material. The thermoplastic resin layer to be employed in the laminated structure is selected to have a melt viscosity of 5.times.10.sup.4 poise (measurement conditions: load=10 kgf, nozzle diameter=1 mm, nozzle length=1 mm: JIS K 7311, 10) at a temperature lower than an extrusion temperature by 20.degree. C. The laminated structure is suitable for use as a medical waterproof fabric, an inner bag of a coverlet and the like products.

A packing material for molten contents is composed of a base film coated with a resin (C) containing an ethylenevinyl acetate copolymer (A) having a vinyl acetate content of approximately 5 to 40 percent by weight and a copolymer (B) of either ethylene or an alpha-olefin with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride, having a molecular weight of approximately 2,000 to 20,000, and having the following formula: ##STR1## (wherein R stands for a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having between 1 and 98, carbon atoms, inclusive, and X stands for a residue of an unsaturated carboxylic acid or its anhydride), in an (A) to (B) ratio between approximately 99:1 and 60:40 by weight or coated with the resin (C) to which a tackifying agent (D) is added in an amount between approximately 3 and 30 percent by weight.
