Abstract:
A low-temperature show case comprising an upper case having a front opening to be covered with revolving transparent glass doors, and a lower case having upper opening to be covered with slidable transparent glass doors, said upper case being constructed in the form of oriel with its transparent side walls oriented oblique towards the front opening, and being provided with an outlet for effusing cold air to form an air curtain just behind the opening, the outlet having larger width than the front opening so as to prevent the ambient air to flow into the case.
Abstract:
In manufacturing an insulating box used for a low-temperature show case having a slidable transparent windows on the top opening thereof, a recess is formed on the upper front ends of inner and outer boxes of an insulating box, said recess being provided with a frame covering the gaps between said inner and outer boxes and having a groove for receiving therein a multi-layer transparent panel. After the multi-layer transparent panel is installed in the groove and fixed with a fixation frame, an expandable insulating material is injected into the spaces between said inner and outer boxes to form said insulating box.

Abstract:
A method is directed to producing liquid fermented milk, suppressing an increase in acidity and a decrease in pH over time during refrigerated storage, keeping a refreshing flavor (sour taste) originating from yogurt lactic acid bacteria for a long time, and suppressing production of an acid during storage to maintain good quality, without requiring heating after a fermentation step, use of a particular additive, and the like. The method for producing liquid fermented milk which uses a rod-shaped lactic acid bacteria and a coccus-shaped lactic acid bacteria as lactic acid bacteria to be added to a raw material for fermented milk, and which includes a homogenization step of obtaining the liquid fermented milk at a homogenization pressure of from 50 MPa to 100 MPa.

Abstract:
A washer-dryer apparatus has a blower for sucking air from a water tank and blowing the air into a washing and dewatering tub. At an inlet of the blower is provided a filter, which is cleaned by a cleaning device (300). The cleaning device (300) has a main body (301) pivotable about one end thereof relative to an outer bottom surface of the water tank, a brush (302) provided on the other end of the main body, and a bias spring (303) for biasing the main body toward an opening direction. The main body (301) is subjected to a dynamic pressure of water in the water tank and thereby pivots in an opening direction. When the main body (301) has the pivoting angle of 90°, the brush (302) is in contact with the filter.
Abstract:
An image-forming device including a plurality of supporting rollers, a photosensitive belt, a pressing roller, an intermediate roller, and a charging roller. The plurality of supporting rollers includes a preselected supporting roller. The photosensitive belt is circularly movably supported on the plurality of supporting rollers. The pressing roller is disposed to contact the photosensitive belt and to press the preselected supporting roller through the photosensitive belt. The intermediate roller is disposed away from the photosensitive belt and to contact the pressing roller. The intermediate roller is rotatable following rotation of the pressing roller. The charging roller is disposed to contact both the photosensitive belt and the intermediate roller and to press the preselected supporting roller through the photosensitive belt. The charging roller is rotatable following rotation of the intermediate roller to thereby charge the photosensitive belt.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a photosensitive member being movable in a predetermined direction; a charging roller that charges a surface of the photosensitive member; and a static pre-eliminator that eliminates static electricity by irradiating the surface of the photosensitive member with light, the static pre-eliminator located on an upstream side of the charging roller in a direction of movement of the photosensitive member; wherein an arrangement and an exposure amount of the static pre-eliminator are set to satisfy E ≦0.025×exp(t/τ) where τis a residual time constant of a photo carrier generated in the photosensitive member by the static pre-eliminator, t is a time period from a time when the photosensitive member passes through the static pre-eliminator to a time when the photosensitive member is charged by the charging roller, and E is a normalized exposure amount of the static pre-eliminator.
Abstract:
A substrate 1 for growing nitride semiconductor has a first and second face and has a thermal expansion coefficient that is larger than that of the nitride semiconductor. At least n-type nitride semiconductor layers 3 to 5, an active layer 6 and p-type nitride semiconductor layers 7 to 8 are laminated to form a stack of nitride semiconductor on the first face of the substrate 1. A first bonding layer including more than one metal layer is formed on the p-type nitride semiconductor layer 8. A supporting substrate having a first and second face has a thermal expansion coefficient that is larger than that of the nitride semiconductor and is equal or smaller than that of the substrate 1 for growing nitride semiconductor. A second bonding layer including more than one metal layer is formed on the first face of the supporting substrate. The first bonding layer 9 and the second bonding layer 11 are faced with each other and, then, pressed with heat to bond together. After that, the substrate 1 for growing nitride semiconductor is removed from the stack of nitride semiconductor so that a nitride semiconductor device is provided.
Abstract:
Porous plate 13 is disposed between wind box 11 of dispersion board B and cylindrical vessel wall 12. Filling layer 14 of a structure packed with ceramic particles such as those of fused silica is disposed on the porous plate 13 so as to fill the inside of the cylindrical vessel wall. The filling layer 14 is composed of ceramic particles, so that the corrosion wear by chlorine gas can be inhibited and the durability thereof enhanced. Furthermore, a chlorine resistant member is disposed in a form so as to adhere to the internal surface of the cylindrical vessel wall 12, so that the corrosion wear by chlorine gas of the cylindrical vessel wall 12 can also be effectively inhibited. As a result, damage to the internal wall of the chlorination furnace can be minimized, and the state of allowing chlorine gas to be uniformly dispersed and supplied to fluidized bed 4 containing titanium ore and coke can be maintained for prolonged periods.
