The present invention provides a liquid crystalline resin composition capable of readily blow-molding a molded article having uniform thickness, with the addition of good blow-moldability owing to the improved drawdown-resistant property, the improved melt-tension increase rate, and other properties without deteriorating the low gas-permeability which is a characteristic of liquid crystalline resin. Specifically, it provides a liquid crystalline resin composition for blow molding, obtainable by melt-kneading: (A) 100 parts by weight of a melt-processable aromatic polyester and / or polyester amide, which can form an anisotropic molten phase; (B) 10 to 25 parts by weight of a styrene-based copolymer composed of 40 to 97% by weight of a styrene group, 60 to 3% by weight of a specific glycidyl ester of α,β-unsaturated acid and 0 to 50% by weight of other vinyl-based monomer, wherein the styrene-based copolymer has epoxy equivalents ranging from 300 to 3000 g / eq, and weight average molecular weights of 30000 or more; and (C) 0 to 100 parts by weight of one or more of fibrous filler, powdery or granular filler, and plate-like filler.

A turbine blade for a turbine engine having a cooling system in at least an outer wall. The cooling system in at least the outer wall formed from at least a first plurality of parallel cavities intersected by a second plurality of parallel cavities positioned in a nonparallel position relative to the first plurality of parallel cavities. In at least one embodiment, the second plurality of parallel cavities may include an alternating configuration of cavities, such that a first cavity may be positioned proximate to an inner surface of the outer wall and a second cavity adjacent to the first cavity is positioned proximate to the outer surface of the outer wall. The first cavity may also be offset from the second cavity to form a spiral gas flow path. The cooling system in the outer wall of the turbine blade may form a spiral flow path.

Methods of drawing glass sheet via a downdraw process are provided. In certain aspects, the methods utilize rapid cooling below the root (70) of the forming apparatus (10). Such rapid cooling can, for example, facilitate the use of glass having a liquidus viscosity less than about 100,000 poise. In other aspects, the methods utilize slow cooling between the viscosities of 1011 poises and 1014 poises. Such slow cooling can facilitate the production of glass substrates which exhibit low levels of compaction. In further aspects, substrates are removed from the glass sheet at elevated temperatures which can facilitate increases in the production rates of downdraw machines. In still further aspects, rapid cooling below the root, slow cooling between the viscosities of 1011 poises and 1014 poises, and / or substrate removal at elevated temperatures are combined. Such combinations can facilitate economically effective utilization of downdraw equipment.

There is provided a heat exchanger including: a heat exchange section in which a plurality of flat tubes are arranged substantially in parallel in a minor axis direction at first intervals and in which fins are disposed between the flat tubes; and a header to which at least some flat tubes out of the plurality of flat tubes are connected, in a state where the at least some flat tubes are bent in the minor axis direction outside the heat exchange section and end parts of the at least some flat tubes are arranged substantially in parallel at second intervals that are narrower than in the heat exchange section, so that the minor axis direction and a central axis direction of the header are the same direction. With this heat exchanger, it is possible to distribute fluid to the individual flat tubes with more equal conditions so that the heat exchange efficiency can be increased.

Implants for promoting bone growth and methods of using same, the implants including a perforated placental membrane sheet wrapped around an osteoconductive material composed of bone chips, bone granules, bone powders or combinations thereof, the osteoconductive material being configured for providing a scaffold upon which bone growth can occur. The placental membrane sheet acts to maintain the osteoconductive material in a cohesive, organized configuration within a site of a patient where bone growth is to be induced. The perforations in the placental membrane sheet create passageways in the exterior of the implant through which the osteoconductive material can communicate with adjacent bone surfaces which are to be fused.

A printing apparatus is provided with a heater for heating ink and a cooler for cooling ink, and comprises: an ink circulation route including a heater side route and a cooler side route which are separately provided through the heater and the cooler respectively; a switch mechanism operable to switch the ink circulation route between the heater side route and the cooler side route; and a control unit operable to control the switch mechanism. The control unit controls the switch mechanism to switch the ink circulation route to the heater side route when the ink temperature is lower than a first reference temperature, and switch the ink circulation route to the cooler side route when the ink temperature is no lower than the first reference temperature. By this configuration, the ink heating efficiency can be improved.
