A solid puzzle of regular geometrical configuration consists of a number of layers of identical spheres, each of said layers including several kinds of connected units of spheres having connecting axes extending through the centers of the individual spheres, all of the connecting axes being on the same plane and any of two adjoining axes forming an included angle of 60.degree., 90.degree., 120.degree. or 180.degree..

Provided is a solid electrolyte having a reduced amount of non-crosslinked monomers, capable of being cured rapidly to have good film-forming ability, and having high electroconductivity. The solid electrolyte is prepared by crosslinking a composition that consists essentially of a polymer compound, a solvent and an electrolytic salt through exposure to active radiations and/or under heat, in which the polymer compound has four functional polymer chains of formula (I): ##STR1## R.sup.1 and R.sup...

In order to provide a block (1) of solid fuel material which has good burning time, good flame form and a clean flame, the block (1) is comprised of a mixture of solid particulate, cellulosic, organic combustible material, and stearic or palmitic acid together with, optionally, one or more fatty acids or esters. The mixture has a density of from 0.94 to 1.01 gm/cc. The block (1) has a slit (2) extending longitudinally of the block. The slot (2) communicates with a space (3). Combustible gases co...

A water dispersible solid formulation comprising an active ingredient, a surfactant of non-ionic type, a surfactant of anionic type and at least 30 wt % of urea is disclosed. A process of preparing the formulation and the use of the formulation for delivering an active ingredient, for example a pesticide or plant growth regulant to an agricultural or horticultural locus are also described.

The flowability of crystalline sucralose can be increased by treating the crystalline material in a fluidised bed at ambient temperature with additions of water, followed by a fluidised drying phase. Fluidisation by means of an upward current of air at 25-35.degree. C. and added water at 20-50% by weight, e.g., 25-40%, is preferred.

A solid tire which is high in load-bearing capacity, while maintaining as high a resilience as a conventional hollow tire, and capable of sufficiently absorbing shocks while the vehicle is traveling with no cargo. It has an annular rubber member fitted in a rim of a wheel, and a tire fitted on the annular rubber member around its outer periphery. The annular rubber member has a groove formed in the outer surface thereof so as to extend along a ridge circling the outer surface of the annular rubb...

Coated solid bodies comprising a core of an active composition and having a water-soluble or dispersible micro-porous or net-coating. The coating improves the mechanical characteristics of the solid body and allows for good dissolution. The coated solid bodies preferably take the form of detergent tablets.

A solid cosmetic composition, which drastically improves the shape-retaining ability and usability, which has a good, tender feeling, good spreadability when applied and is glossy looking is provided by use of a wax composition solidifier, which has a good shape-retaining ability without use of a conventional solidifier such as ceresin is provided. A solid cosmetic composition has (a) Fischer-Tropsch wax having average molecular weight of 300 to 1200 and (b) Microcrystalline wax in the weight ra...

The reading side conductive layer of a solid sensor is provided with a photo-charged pair generating electrode formed by a plurality of linear electrodes and a photo-charged pair non-generating electrode formed by a plurality of linear electrodes arranged alternately with the linear electrodes of the photo-charged pair generating electrode. The linear electrodes of the photo-charged pair generating electrode are connected to a read-out apparatus, which reads out the latent image charge. The line...
