Patent EP-2085363-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KOBAYASHI HIDEKI
IPC: B01D61/14
Filed: 2007-10-29
Abstract: Disclosed are a method for further purifying ultrapure water, according to which any impurities in ultrapure water can be stably removed to a high degree within a small space over a prolonged period; and an apparatus therefor. Ultrapure water introduced into an ultrapure-water purifying apparatus 10 passes through an ion exchange resin layer 5 in a lower chamber 1a. During this process, metal ions, for example, in the ultrapure water are removed by the ion exchange resin. The ultrapure water then passes through a perforated plate 4, flows into an upper chamber 1b, and permeates an ion exchange filter 6. During this process, metal ions and other impurities remaining unremoved by the ion exchange resin layer 5 are removed. Specifically, metal ions are removed to a certain extent by the ion exchange resin, so that it is enough for the ion exchange filter provided downstream thereof to remove an extremely small amount of metal ions. Consequently, reaching of the ion exchange filter to breakthrough within a short period can be prevented, thereby attaining further purification of ultrapure water over a prolonged period of time.

Abstract: A mould for stratified moulding with metalostatic pressure compensation formed by one or more stackable moulds formed by a tapping cavity of a generally rhomboidal truncated cone shape and one or more moulding cavities connected to the tapping cavity by one or more supply conduits; in such a way that each tapping cavity of each stackable mould interconnects to form a central filling collector, and each tapping cavity compensates for the metalostatic pressure of the molten metal as it is drained by the central filling collector to achieve generally uniform filling of each of the moulding cavities of each of the stackable moulds. In addition, the generally rhomboidal double truncated cone shape serves to keep a temperature distribution in the mould during the pouring of molten metal.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus according to the present invention includes a pressing mechanism capable of appropriately applying a pressing force to a predetermined position on a fractured bone. The pressing mechanism includes an annular belt detachably hung around a leg in which a shinbone (i.e., a target bone) is present, a deadweight connected to a lower end of the annular belt and having a weight value corresponding to a desired pressing force, and a mobile base positioned under the deadweight and movable in an up-and-down direction. If the mobile base moves downward, the deadweight separates from the mobile base and is brought into a free state where a pressing force acts on the target bone. If the mobile base moves upward, the deadweight is supported by the mobile base and the target bone is released from the pressing force.

Abstract: A method for controlling a refrigeration system comprising a variable compressor capacity, and at least two refrigeration entities 4, e.g. display cases. Suction pressure is controlled by means of permitting/preventing a flow of refrigerant into evaporator of one or more refrigeration entities 4. Compressor capacity is controlled to match a desired capacity level and based on a signal derived from one or more properties of the one or more refrigeration entities 4, said signal reflecting a possible difference between the current compressor capacity and a current refrigeration demand of the refrigeration system. Reduces wear on compressors because switching them ON/OFF is avoided to the largest extent possible. Prevents problems relating to conflicting control strategies due to control parameters, e.g. suction pressure, being controlled by means of two or more controllable parts, e.g. compressors and flow of refrigerant into refrigeration entities.

The height (h1) of the periphery of the reduction cover is the same to or greater than the height (h2) of the periphery of the wind outlet (424) of the reverse fixed blade unit (40), thereby forming a ring-shaped enclosing type. Therefore, the wind will be smoothly concentrated and the flow direction will be changed. Meanwhile, each of the airflows will be separated by the separation portion (22) and delivered to the heat source of the heat sink (20).
