Abstract:
In a gas separation apparatus that separates carbon dioxide and water vapor from a first mixture gas containing a predetermined major component gas, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, the energy utilization efficiency thereof is improved. Also, by utilizing the function of this gas separation apparatus, a membrane reactor and a hydrogen production apparatus exhibiting high energy utilization efficiency are provided. The gas separation apparatus is constructed to include a first separation membrane 33 and a second separation membrane 34 that are made of different materials. When the first mixture gas is supplied at a temperature of 100° C. or higher, the first separation membrane 33 separates a second mixture gas containing carbon dioxide and water vapor that permeate through the first separation membrane by allowing carbon dioxide and water vapor to permeate selectively. When the second mixture gas is supplied, the second separation membrane 34 separates water vapor that permeates through the second separation membrane 34 by allowing water vapor to permeate selectively.
Abstract:
A feeder has a longer side direction orthogonal to a conveyance direction of a recording medium, and is configured to feed a maximum size recording medium with a longer side first. An image forming unit has a maximum sheet feed width corresponding to a longer side length of the maximum size recording medium, and is configured to print a toner image corresponding to digital image data onto the recording medium. An electrical component unit is configured to control the feeder and the image forming unit. The image forming unit and the electrical component unit are respectively disposed on both sides of the feeder in a shorter side direction.

Abstract:
A low dielectric constant film/wiring line stack structure made up of a stack of low dielectric constant films and wiring lines is provided in a region on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate except for the peripheral part of this surface. The peripheral side surface of the low dielectric constant film/wiring line stack structure is covered with a sealing film. This provides a structure in which the low dielectric constant films do not easily come off. In this case, a lower protective film is provided on the lower surface of a silicon substrate to protect this lower surface against cracks.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a solid fuel burner, which, while rendering the capacity larger than that in the conventional art, can suppress an increase in an unignited region and thus can realize the prevention of an increase in NOx concentration in a combustion gas and the prevention of a lowering in combustion efficiency, and a combustion equipment and boiler including the burner. The burner includes a fuel-containing fluid supply nozzle (12) which supplies a fuel-containing fluid, from a connecting part in a fluid transfer flow passage (10) for transferring a fuel-containing fluid including a fuel and a medium for transfer of the fuel, toward an outlet part provided on the wall of a furnace (4). The fuel-containing fluid supply nozzle (12) in its cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid is in a rectangular, elliptical, or substantially elliptical form having major and minor axis parts from a connecting part (10a) in the fluid transfer flow passage (10) toward the outlet part provided on the wall surface of the furnace (4). Further, the area of a cross section perpendicular to the direction of flow of the fluid is gradually increased from the connecting part in the fluid transfer flow passage (10) toward the outlet part. One or more air supply nozzles (15) for supplying combustion air are provided on the outer peripheral part of the nozzle (12).

Abstract:
In a data management apparatus (1) including a recording device (12) for recording contents data and a data processing section for processing the contents data, first management data for managing the contents data according to a first reference is recorded in the recording device (12), and the data processing section reproduces the contents data based on the first management data, and transfers the contents data to an external device (2) based on second management data which is used for management of the contents data by the external device according to a second reference different from the first reference. As a result, the protection of the contents data can be made while complying with related laws, and the contents data with optional functions added thereto can be backed up.
