The present invention provides a point bonded polyolefin nonwoven fabric fabricated from conjugate fibers containing a polyolefin and a polyamide. Advantageously, the nonwoven fabric can be point bonded at a temperature significantly below conventional polyolefin nonwoven web bonding temperatures and in a wide range of different bonding temperatures without significantly sacrificing its tensile st...

According to a field ground fault detector, a predetermined resistor is connected in series to a predetermined DC voltage. A DC voltage is applied between an N electrode side field circuit of a generator and a ground through the resistor. A voltage applied between terminals of the resistor is input to a low-pass filter. A voltage applied between the N electrode side field circuit and the ground is...

A water-absorptive resin, which comprises a cationic crosslinked polymer comprising at least 10% by weight of cationic monomer unit(s) and containing a magnetic material therein, is used as a microbial carrier in a fluidized bed biodisposer. This water-absorptive resin can serve as a microbial carrier when merely introduced into a liquor containing a microorganism. Thus seeding can be readily carr...
