A control valve according to an embodiment includes a guide member of a cylindrical shape extending coaxially with a valve hole, a valve element of a bottomed cylindrical shape for opening and closing a valve section such that the valve element touches and leaves the valve hole, and a pressure-canceling structure for canceling out at least part of pressure acting on the valve element by introducing a working fluid into a back pressure chamber via a leak passage, the pressure-canceling structure including the back pressure chamber, surrounded by the valve element and the guide member, and the leak passage communicating between the valve hole and the back pressure chamber. A sliding portion and a spacing are formed in an overlapped portion which is a region overlapped by the valve element and the guide member. The sliding portion is connected circumferentially at least when the valve section is closed, and the proportion of the spacing occupied in the overlapped portion is larger than the proportion of the sliding portion occupied at the time when the valve section is open.

To provide an expansion valve capable of enhancing manufacturing efficiency of a body and yield from material, thereby reducing manufacturing costs thereof. According to the expansion valve of the present invention, a body is formed by die casting an aluminum alloy, and hence even when the body has a complicated shape, it is possible to easily manufacture the body. Further, even a valve seat, which is difficult to form by extrusion, can be formed integrally with the body, and hence the manufacturing efficiency of the body can be enhanced. Furthermore, component parts, such as the valve seat and the like, conventionally formed by cutting, are also formed integrally with the body by die casting, and hence it is possible to enhance yield from material to reduce manufacturing costs of the expansion valve.

To provide an expansion valve having a low-pressure passage that is bent at right angles therein, which is reduced in untoward noise and noise of the flow of refrigerant generated when the refrigerant passes through the low-pressure passage. In an intersecting portion of a low-pressure passage, the axis of a port for introducing refrigerant returned from an evaporator, and the axis of a port for guiding out refrigerant having passed through a body block to a compressor are orthogonal to each other. A hole is formed in the body block in a direction of insertion of a shaft that transmits a driving force from a power element to a valve element, and a holder for holding the shaft. When holes coaxial with the ports, respectively, are formed by drills having the same diameter as that of the hole, the holes are formed in a manner such that the tip of one drill does not extend beyond the hole formed by the other drill, to make inner walls on an outer peripheral side along which refrigerant flows at an increased speed, smoothly continuous, without forming any recess or edge portion having a boundary portion with an angle equal to or smaller than a right angle.

A liquid electrophotographic developing apparatus including a developing unit with an elongated opening disposed adjacent to a photoreceptor and an air duct provided around the elongated opening. The air flow in the air duct has a predetermined air pressure to hold a liquid developer within a space substantially between the developing unit and the image-bearing surface while permitting toner particles in the liquid developer deposited on the image-bearing surface to be retained by the image—bearing surface and volatile solvent to be vaporized.

An array microphone is a directional microphone having an improved directional characteric in which both the sensitivity and the sound pressure frequency response are uniform within the recording area and more particularly, the quality and level of sound remain unchanged. The array microphone includes a microphone array including a plurality of microphone units, and a two-dimensional filter for filtering an output of the microphone array in the dimensions of both time and space. When the two-dimensional filter is a digital filter and varied in its two-dimensional filter coefficient and sampling frequency, the array microphone serves as a variable directional microphone whose directional characteristic can be varied with the sound quality and level remaining unchanged throughout the recording area.
摘要:
A gas turbine exhaust passage is realized which may suppress the radiation of strong ultra low frequency noise to the outside without amplifying the turbulence of an high speed exhaust gas flow rate or a pressure pulsation generated in a gas turbine. At least a portion of a wall of a gas turbine exhaust passage (3, 5) is formed of an acoustically transmissive material (36, 56) for allowing a low frequency noise of several tens of Hz or less to pass therethrough sufficiently. Also, the acoustically transmissive material is made of one or more of a porous material, a porous heat insulating material, a mesh having a large flow resistance, cloth or film material. Further, the acoustically transmissive material is supported by a porous plate or a frame. In a case where an acoustically transmissive material is used only for an exhaust chimney (5), the exhaust chimney (5) is supported by a rack (11). Further, a soundproof panel (12) may be attached to the rack (11). Also, a damper provided at a branch portion between an exhaust gas boiler branched from the gas turbine exhaust passage and the gas turbine exhaust passage is formed of acoustically transmissive material for allowing a low frequency noise of several tens of Hz or less to pass therethrough sufficiently.
