Abstract: A mixed gas separation method includes a step of supplying a mixed gas to the separation membrane and causing a gas with high permeability in the mixed gas to permeate through the separation membrane. In the step, when ?P is a difference between a gas pressure on the primary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a feed pressure, and a gas pressure on the secondary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a permeate pressure, and A is a Joule-Thomson coefficient, a difference ?T between a gas temperature on the primary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a feed temperature, and a gas temperature on the secondary side of the separation membrane, i.e., a permeate temperature, is made less than 90% of A·?P by setting the Nu number in the mixed gas to be greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 10.

Abstract: A safety flint lighter is provided that an adult is allowed to easily make an ignition with a single action without allowing a child to easily lean how to ignite a flame. A safety flint lighter has an ignition device using a flint and a sparking file wheel and structured not permitting a child to ignite a flame. An axial hole, rotatably supporting a rotary shaft of a sparking file wheel, is in a form permitting the rotary shaft, at an axis thereof, to directly move between a first position the rotary shaft is normally hold and distant from a tank body, a second position established closer to the tank body than the first position and on an axis of a flint and a third position established oppositely to a nozzle with respect to a straight line connecting between the first position and the second position.
