Title: Drum washer-drier which reduces vibration to floor and operating method thereof
Inventor: NOGUCHI TAKEO
IPC: D06F37/04
Filed: 1997-01-29
Granted: 2001-11-27
Abstract: A drum washer-drier which includes a drum rotating about a horizontal rotary axis, a water tank including a drum, and an outer tank resiliently supporting the water tank. A plurality of suspending rods are suspended from an upper inner surface of the outer tank, and the water tank is resiliently supported by providing compression springs between spring-receiving portions at lower ends of suspending rods and support-receiving portions of the water tank. Further, a damper generating a sliding resistance as the spring is expanded/compressed is provided at the lower end portion of each suspending rod. At the time of dehydration, the drum is rotated for a prescribed time period at a rotation speed higher than a critical rotation speed of a fluid balancer, but lower than a resonance rotation speed caused by resilient support, and thereafter high-speed rotation starts. A structure for protecting the fluid balancer formed of synthetic resin during drying is also disclosed.

Abstract: Procédé permettant de déterminer des températures (tqm, tqh, tom, tok) dans un transformateur à bain d'huile, selon lequel sont mesurées les tensions (2) au niveau des bornes du transformateur, les courants (3) dans les bobinages et la température ambiante (6). En outre est relevé le statut (5) d'aérateurs et de pompes et la position (4) d'un commutateur de prises de réglage. Les valeurs mesurées et relevées (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) sont introduites dans un modèle (7) thermohydraulique dans lequel sont calculées des grandeurs d'état (19) à l'aide de valeurs auxiliaires (9) qui représentent les pertes (10) dans le transformateur, les paramètres (1) de transfert de chaleur, les résistances (13) à l'écoulement et l'écoulement (12) d'huile, et d'un réseau hydraulique du circuit d'huile qui présente des ramifications et des noeuds. Lesdites grandeurs d'état (19) sont les températures moyennes (tqm) et les températures (tqh) aux points chauds dans les parties du transformateur produisant des pertes et les températures moyennes de l'huile dans les ramifications (tom) et dans les noeuds (tok) du réseau hydraulique du circuit d'huile. En cas de modification des valeurs mesurées et relevées (2, 3, 4, 5, 6), les valeurs auxiliaires (9) sont adaptées en conséquence, puis la vitesse de modification des grandeurs d'état (19) est déterminée, ce qui permet le calcul de nouvelles grandeurs d'état (19). Ce procédé permet de déterminer des températures (tqm, tqh, tom, tok), ainsi que leur modification au sein du transformateur, sans capteur de température, ce qui garantit un fonctionnement optimal du transformateur, et permet d'identifier de manière précoce les défaillances et les dangers et de déterminer le moment optimal pour les travaux d'entretien.

Inventor: FUKUDA YOSHIHIKO
IPC: F02M23/04
Filed: 1999-08-03
Granted: 2005-09-20
Abstract: In an engine intake A/F ratio control system in an outboard engine system, a secondary air passage (P) for supplying secondary air for regulating the A/F ratio of an air-fuel mixture is connected to a carburetor (33) in an intake system of an engine (E), and a duty control valve (68) is connected to the secondary air passage (P). A duty control unit (92) is connected to the duty control valve (68) for controlling the duty ratio of a pulse applied to a coil (76) of the duty control valve (68) , and an LAF sensor (94) is mounted to an exhaust system for detecting an A/F ratio of an exhaust gas to input a detection signal proportional to the A/F ratio of the exhaust gas to the duty control unit (92). Thus, in any of a case when the tolerance of the purifying rate of the catalytic converter is set relatively widely with an engine output taken into consideration to a certain extent, and a case when the set range is shifted to a rich side of the A/R ratio with the engine output taken into serious consideration, the A/F ratio of the exhaust gas can be controlled properly to a desired target value.

Title: Chromatographic separator
Inventor: SATO KOHEI
IPC: G01N30/32
Filed: 2000-06-30
Granted: 2007-07-10
Abstract: A chromatographic separator allows a feed liquid material consisting of two or more than two components and a liquid eluent to circulate within an endless circular path 16, wherein columns 14 are coupled to one another, to separate the feed liquid material into two components. The selector valves 23 and 33 are switched to allow pumps 20 and 30 to serve to circulate the fluid through the circular path 16 and to inject each liquid from the tanks 25 and 35. Furthermore, an ordinary ON/OFF valve is used as discharge valves 41 and 51 for each of the liquids and thus the pressure specification required for the circular path 1.6 is reduced.

The caller ID  information is routed through the signaling system 7 network (16) to the SSP  (32) in the terminating network. The call is routed to a terminating POP (26) and then to the SSP (32) in the terminating network. The SSP (32) inserts the caller ID information received through the SS7 network (16) and routes the call to the terminating line (30).

IPC: C07B59/00
Filed: 2001-05-01
Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: A new method of [11C]-methylation is described which attains the goals of simplicity, high radiochemical yields, speed, versatility, and automation. A standard HPLC injection loop on a standard HPLC injection valve is loaded with a solution of precursor in DMF or DMSO (+ base if required). At ambient temperature [11C]-iodomethane is passed through the loop for 3-4 min with >90% trapping of activity. After a further 1-5 min, the contents of the loop are quantitatively injected onto the HPLC column for purification. Radiochemical yields are equal to or superior to conventional solution methods in all cases, even though no heat is applied. [11C]-Labelled radiotracers which have been prepared by this method for human or animal studies include Raclopride, Nmethylspiperone, Ro 15-1788, FLB 457, RTI-32, Rolipram, SCH 23390, and SKF 82957. Since no vials, transfer lines, cooling, heating, or sealing valves are required, no transfer losses occur, yields are high, and clean-up is minimal, this "loop method" is ideal for most radiopharmaceuticals prepared from [11C]-iodomethane.
