Patent EP-1008799-A1 (EP)
Inventor: IMOTO MASAYOSHI
IPC: F17C7/02
Filed: 1998-01-08
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
transfer-filling a liquefied gas by drawing out a
nonazeotropic mixture stored in a first container and
containing at least two liquefied gases differing in
boiling point as essential components from a liquid phase
thereof and transfer-filling the mixture into a second
container, characterized in that the method comprises
filling the following supplement liquid (A) or supplement
gas (B) into said first container in an amount making up
for a portion of the capacity of said first container
that is equal to the decrease in volume of the liquid
phase of said nonazeotropic mixture resulting from
transfer-filling:
   (A) a supplement liquid which is the liquid phase of a
liquefied gas mixture having the same composition as that
of the nonazeotropic mixture stored in the first
container;   (B) a supplement gas which is (i) (a) a gaseous phase of
a liquefied gas mixture having the same composition as
that of the nonazeotropic mixture stored in the first
container or (b) a gaseous phase composed of at least one
of component of said nonazeotropic mixture and containing 
the component having the lowest boiling point of all the
components of said mixture in a proportion larger than
the proportion thereof in said nonazeotropic mixture or
(ii) a compressed gas. The method of the invention
drastically reduces the change, resulting from transfer-filling,
in the composition of a nonazeotropic
refrigerant mixture which is used as a working fluid in
the vapor compression type refrigerating cycle.

Abstract: A service method of connection management for a
communication line is established to perform a desired
connection of the communication line in accordance with a
telephone caller's request when the caller wants to be
connected to a called person by way of the communication
line. The method comprises the steps of: detecting whether
or not the communication line is crowded; measuring a passed
time of a connected state of the communication line if the
communication line is crowded; determining whether or not
the passed time of the connected state has reached a
predetermined set-up time; and compulsorily interrupting the
connected state of the communication line when the passed
time of the connected state has reached the predetermined
set-up time. Thus, even if a communication line is very
crowded because a disaster has happened, it is sure to
enable more people to make phone calls, without producing a
situation in which the communication line is occupied by
only few people.
