  • Patent number: 11952671
    Abstract: An electrochemical hydrogen pump includes at least one hydrogen pump unit including an electrolyte membrane, an anode on one main surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode on the other main surface of the electrolyte membrane, an anode separator on the anode, and a cathode separator on the cathode, the at least one hydrogen pump unit transferring, to the cathode, hydrogen supplied to the anode and pressurizing the hydrogen, a first fixing member for preventing movement of the cathode separator in a direction in which the cathode separator is stacked, a first end plate on the anode separator at one end in the stacking direction, a second end plate on the cathode separator at the other end in the stacking direction, and a first gas flow channel through which hydrogen in the cathode is supplied to a first space between the second end plate and the cathode separator.

  • Patent number: 7007345
    Abstract: An opening and closing device includes a rotor pressed by a rotor spring and a reverse-rotor pressed by reverse-rotor spring, of which rotor cam and reverse-rotor cam are respectively placed at a certain position of stator cam. With this construction, rotor is urged in an opening direction in the opening condition and urged in a closing direction in the closing condition with respect to stator. A release cam pushes the reverse-rotor cam by moving a releaser along an axis, so that the device opens.

  • Patent number: 5936389
    Abstract: A terminating resistance circuit is used for a bus line in which a power source line, signal lines and ground lines are connected between computer equipment via terminators, respectively. An input terminal of a regulator is connected to the power source line, and the terminator is connected between an output terminal of the regulator and the signal line. A zener diode is connected between the output terminal and the ground line in such a manner that a cathode terminal and an anode terminal of the zener diode are connected to the output terminal of the regulator and the ground line, respectively.

  • Patent number: 5553250
    Abstract: A bus terminating circuit is provided on each of a plurality of SCSI devices connected to each other through an SCSI bus line. A first terminating resistor is inserted between each of the signal lines and a power source line of the bus line and a second terminating resistor is inserted between each of the signal lines and ground. A first transistor is connected between the first terminating resistor and the power source line and a second transistor is connected between the second terminating resistor and ground. The first and second transistors are turned-on or off in response to an ON signal or an OFF signal inputted from an external terminal so that the first and second resistors can be connected or disconnected to or from the bus line.
