Patent EP-1193462-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAEDA KOJI
IPC: F28F27/02
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: Combustion gas channels through which combustion gas (A)
flowing in from a combustion gas inlet (17) passes are formed
in first and second heat exchanger bodies (23) and (19) so as
to be directed toward a combustion gas outlet (21) respectively.
Liquid fuel (B) in which methanol and water have been mixed is
supplied into a gap (51) between a distribution plate (47) and
an upper plate (49) through fuel supply holes (57) . The liquid
fuel (B) is distributed and supplied to the whole of the first
heat exchanger body (23) through a large number of holes in the
distribution plate (47). In the first and second heat exchanger
bodies (23) and (19), fuel channels (23a) and (19a) through which
the liquid fuel (B) passes are formed so as to be directed
vertically and separated from the combustion gas channels by
partition plates, respectively. The liquid fuel (B) passing
through the fuel channels (23a) and (19a) carries out heat
exchange with the combustion gas. Thus, the liquid fuel (B)
is vaporized. Chamfers are formed in the lower surfaces of the
large number of holes of the distribution plate (47) so that
the liquid fuel (B) flowing down through the holes is collected
in the chamfer portions, and falls down in the form of drops.
Thus, flows of the liquid fuel flowing out from adjacent ones
of the holes are prevented from joining each other.

Abstract: A platen gap from a nozzle orifice is detected by
a platen gap detecting sensor (16). A control section
(46) limits usable recording modes to a high-speed
recording mode and a first high-resolution recording mode
in case that the detected platen gap is a large gap. At
this time, in case that a control command from a host
computer is a command for specifying a second
high-resolution recording mode, the recording mode to
be used is switched to the first high-resolution recording
mode.

Abstract: Volatile siloxane oligomers are removed from an
emulsion containing siloxane polymers and volatile siloxane
oligomers prepared by emulsion polymerization of volatile
siloxane oligomers by continuously feeding the emulsion to
a continuous flow device for vaporizing liquids,
continuously feeding a stripping gas to the continuous flow
device, continuously removing an overhead fraction of
volatile siloxane oligomers from the continuous flow
device, and continuously removing an unvaporized bottom
fraction from the continuous flow device of an emulsion
containing siloxane polymers which is substantially free of
residual volatile siloxane oligomers used to prepare the
emulsion. A benefit of the method is that the viscosity of
the siloxane polymer in the emulsion before the emulsion is
fed to the continuous flow device is substantially the same
as the viscosity of the siloxane polymer in the emulsion
after the emulsion is removed from the continuous flow
device.

communication system 100 which comprises an output device 3 for
outputting stream data through a data bus 5, which includes
predetermined connecting means, an input device 4 for acquiring
the stream data from the output device 3 through the data bus 5,
and a communication controller 1 for controlling the output device
3 and the input device 4, all of which are interconnected through
the data bus 5, the communication controller 1 requests the output
device 3 and the input device 4 to start communicating stream data,
forces the input device 4, which has been requested to start the
communication, to notify the output device 3 that the input device
4 has completed a preparation for receiving the stream data, and
forces the output device 3 to transmit the stream data to the
input device 4 through the data bus 5 when the completion of
preparation for the reception is notified to the output device 3,
thereby making it possible to prevent truncation at the beginning
upon receiving the stream data at the input device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating and purifying only
a certain unsaturated fatty acid in a high purity from fatty acids present in oils
including vegetable oils and fish oils by means of crystallization. More
particularly, the present invention relates to a method for isolating and purifying
only the desired unsaturated fatty acid in a high purity from fatty acids present in
oils by selectively using a urea-addition crystallization, and a cooling
crystallization or a high liquid chromatography. Specifically, the present
invention provides a method for isolating and purifying linoleic acid or oleic acid
as unsaturated fatty acids, in a high purity of at least 99% by subjecting fatty
acids derived from oils, particularly, a vegetable oil containing linoleic acid or
oleic acid at a high concentration, such as safflower oil, corn germ oil or olive
oil, as the raw material to two-step urea-addition crystallization using methanol
and urea and then crystallizing the concentrated unsaturated fatty acid from an
organic solvent under cooling at temperature of -5°C to -10°C without stirring, or
a method for isolating eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as unsaturated fatty acid, in a
high purity of at least 99% by subjecting fatty acids derived from oils,
particularly, a fish oil containing EPA at a high concentration, such as sardine oil,
as the raw material to two-step urea-addition crystallization using methanol and
urea to obtain a concentrated unsaturated fatty acid having a high purity and then
further purifying the high-purified, concentrated fatty acid by means of a high
liquid chromatography using a column filled with Ag-silica or Ag-alumina.

Furthermore, the connectors (1,100) are caused to
approach each other even more closely by the hook-shaped
members (48) so that wiping of the contacts is performed
and so that the connectors are locked to each other.

Abstract: A goods or service information is broadcasted on television from a TV broadcast station, and supplied to unnamed or many audiences. The audience(purchaser) receives an image pattern which is formed by optical signals and displayed as a management data of goods on one part of display of a television set by means of an optical signal receiver of his or her own cellular phone, and then designates any goods displayed on the television by operating the cellular phone. The cellular phone collates the designated goods with the received management data, generates a predetermined offer data, and transmits it to a mail-order firm through a communication network in order to offer a purchase of goods. When the mail-order firm receives the offer, the firm causes a distributor to distribute the designated goods. In the case of cash on delivery also, namely the distributor hands over the goods to the purchaser and receives the payment, the purchaser and the distributor requires a settlement of account to the mail-order firm with the both person's cellular phone, and an account center connected with the mail-order firm in the communication network performs an adequate settlement.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés, des produits de transformation et des animaux transgéniques permettant d'identifier des agents antitumoraux et des cibles de médicaments antitumoraux. Les produits de transformation sont utilisés pour l'élaboration d'animaux transgéniques à expression modifiée d'oncogène ou de gène suppresseur de tumeur dans un tissu cible susceptible d'être délivré aux fins de viabilité et de reproduction. Selon certaines variantes, ladite expression entraîne une prolifération anormale de tissu cible et une prolifération normale de tous les autres tissus. Il est possible d'identifier des cibles de médicaments antitumoraux par élaboration d'une descendance d'animaux transgéniques présentant des mutations dans différents gènes. Les mutations géniques pouvant induire la réduction ou la mort spécifique de tissu cible sont identifiées comme d'éventuelles cibles de médicaments antitumoraux et font l'objet d'une évaluation complémentaire. On identifie des agents antitumoraux qui reproduisent l'effet des mutations géniques entraînant une réduction spécifique de tissu cible. En guise de variante, il est possible d'identifier des agents antitumoraux par administration de différents composés directement aux animaux transgéniques ou à leur descendance, et par sélection de composés entraînant une antiprolifération spécifique de tissu cible en tant qu'agents thérapeutiques putatifs.
