Abstract: A connector for a memory card 11 comprises the
housing 12, the plate 14, the guide plate 16, the lock
system 18, and the connector pin keeping part 20. Because
the connector pin keeping part 20 is formed as
horizontally bridged to a rear surface of the housing 12,
and also the press-fitting part 40d of the connector pin
40 is press-fitted with a perpendicular state, the
connector for a memory card 11 not only can be
miniaturized but also can achieve a reduced thickness by
restricting an amount protruding to a rear side within a
small volume. Therefore, because a shape of the connector
pin 40 is bent like a L-shape and the fixing hole 20a of
the connector pin keeping part 20 is extended in an up-down
direction and formed in the housing 12, it can
promote the miniaturization and reduced thickness of the
connector for a memory card 11. As a result, reducing a
weight of the connector for a memory card 11 can also be
attained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour la purification de flux de fluides contaminés (par exemple, flux d'air contaminés par des composés organiques volatils). Un milieu de sorption (12c) est dirigé entre des plaques à espacements étroits qui contrôlent la profondeur du flux de sorbant. Dans un absorbeur, les plaques sont poreuses, ce qui permet à l'air contaminé de passer dans une chambre d'adsorption où le milieu élimine les contaminants du flux de fluide. Dans un désorbeur, les plaques (28c, 29c) peuvent transmettre ou réfléchir l'énergie des micro-ondes (30c) et être poreuses vis-à-vis d'un gaz de purge (40c) à l'intérieur d'une chambre de désorption dans laquelle le milieu (12c) libère les contaminants aux fins de régénération (12c). Pour un désorbeur, on envisage la mise en place d'un pan incliné ou d'une surface conique, avec couplage à un adsorbeur selon un système de boucle fermée.

Abstract: In a heat storage tank, a discharge port (114a) of an
introduction passage (114) is covered by a cup-shaped collision
member (117) constructed by a shield portion (117a) and a guide
cover (117b). In addition, a mixture protection plate (118)
having through holes (118a) is disposed in a tank body between
the collision member and an inner surface of the tank body.
Therefore, a high-speed water stream, upwardly injected from the
discharge port, collides with the shield portion, and turns its
flow direction by an approximately right angle. Thereafter, the
water stream is guided by the guide cover to a lower side of the
mixture protection plate. Accordingly, it can prevent water
stored in the tank body from being mixed even when the injection
water stream has a high speed.

Abstract: The procedure consists of pumping most of the oil out of the storage tank (1), leaving a minimal residual quantity of oil (5) mixed with sediment (6). This is liquefied by the addition of an auxiliary liquid (9) which separates the oil from the sediment and allows them to be extracted separately from the tank, allowing its inner surfaces to be cleaned. The auxiliary liquid used for the procedure is water, which is not soluble in oil and has a specific gravity greater than that of the oil, causing the oil to rise to the surface. Before it is added to the tank the water is heated in an external circuit (14, 16) with a heat exchanger (17).
