Abstract:
An object is to provide an off-shore wind turbine generator capable of obtaining accurate information about the situation of a wind turbine itself, surrounding weather conditions, and the like. The off-shore wind turbine generator of the present invention generates power by driving a generator mechanism through the rotation of a rotor head to which wind turbine blades are attached and includes a monitoring apparatus for monitoring the wind turbine generator itself and its surrounding circumstances.
Abstract:
An imprinting apparatus which includes a mold having a recess/protrusion pattern formed on a surface thereof and a pressure-applying piston that makes the mold and a transfer substrate having a transfer layer thereon come into close contact and that applies pressure to transfer shapes of the recess/protrusion pattern to the transfer layer. The imprinting apparatus comprises a mold holding unit having a mold holding surface to hold the mold; a substrate holding unit having a substrate holding surface opposed to the mold holding surface to hold the transfer substrate; and a support unit supporting the mold holding unit and the substrate holding unit in such a way as to be able to get closer to and farther from each other. The pressure-applying piston is movable along a direction intersecting with the mold holding surface and the substrate holding surface and has a pressure-applying surface that can come into contact with one of the mold holding unit and the substrate holding unit when applying pressure, and a plurality of engaging units that can engage with one of the mold holding unit and the substrate holding unit when moving back.
Abstract:
A thermal imprinting device, including: a mold on the surface of which is formed a concavity and convexity pattern to be formed in a transfer layer; a pressing mechanism which brings the mold into close contact with the transfer layer and performs pressing; and a pair of heating mechanisms arranged at positions enclosing the mold and the transfer substrate to heat the mold and the transfer substrate. At least one of the heating mechanisms has a plurality of heating regions comprising a central heating region and at least one peripheral heating region surrounding the central heating region, and has different heating abilities for each of the heating regions.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing methanol comprising producing a synthesis gas containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, allowing reaction of the synthesis gas to take place over a catalyst to produce a crude methanol, separating the crude methanol into unreacted gas and liquid crude methanol, and distilling the liquid crude methanol to separate it into refined methanol and waste water. Carbon dioxide in combustion exhaust gas to be discharged from a reformer is recovered, and that in feeding the carbon dioxide to the upstream side and/or the downstream side of the reformer, part of the unreacted gas is utilized as a purge gas, a portion of which being utilized as a fuel for a combustion device of the reformer, while the balance of the purge gas being utilized as a fuel for other heating sources and/or as an agent for desulfurizating raw gas.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A CO shift catalyst according to the present invention reforms carbon monoxide (CO) contained in gas. The CO shift catalyst is prepared from one or both of molybdenum (Mo) and cobalt (Co) as an active ingredient and an oxide of one of, or a mixture or a compound of, titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), zirconium (Zr), and cerium (Ce) as a carrier for supporting the active ingredient. The CO shift catalyst can be used in a halogen-resistant CO shift reactor (15) that converts CO contained in gasified gas (12) generated in a gasifier (11) into CO2.
Abstract:
A CO shift catalyst according to the present invention is one that reforms carbon monoxide (CO) in gas. The CO shift catalyst includes: active ingredients including one of molybdenum (Mo) and iron (Fe) as a main ingredient and one of nickel (Ni) and ruthenium (Ru) as an accessory ingredient; and one or at least two oxides of titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), and cerium (Ce) as a carrier supporting the active ingredients. The CO shift catalyst can be used for a CO shift reactor 20 that converts CO in gasified gas 12 produced in a gasifier 11 into CO2.
