Abstract: A pressure vessel (10) is provided with: a cylinder part (1) that defines a pressure chamber (11); a screwing part (3) that is disposed inside at least one of the two ends of the cylinder part; a lid (2) that has a pressure-receiving surface (2A) facing the pressure chamber and that is disposed at a position closer to the pressure chamber than is the screwing part; and a reinforcing ring (4) that is fitted to the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder part. The reinforcing ring covers, along the axial direction of the cylinder part, a part on an outer circumferential surface (1F) corresponding to a portion or the entirety of the engaging portion (12) between the cylinder part and the screwing part.

Abstract: The present invention enables quick cooling of steam-treated objects and thus reduces the manufacturing time of steam-treated products such as black coated steel sheets. The present invention provides a method for manufacturing steam-treated products, which involves a steam treatment step that introduces steam into a closed container (10) containing a treatment object (1) and brings the treatment object (1) into contact with the steam, and a treated object cooling step that cools the object (1) treated with steam in the steam treatment step, wherein said treated object cooling step introduces coolant gas into said closed container (10), brings said treated object (1) into contact with the coolant gas, and discharges the introduced coolant gas from said closed container (10).

Abstract: An accumulator vessel (10) includes a screwable portion (3) and a lid portion (2) that is positioned at an axially inner side of the screwable portion and an axially inner surface configures a pressure bearing plane. The lid portion includes a protruding portion (22) extending axially outward on an inner circumferential side, and the protruding portion configured to abut against an axially inner end side of the screwable portion to separate an axially inner surface of the screwable portion on an outer circumferential side thereof apart from an axially outer surface of the lid portion on an outer circumferential side thereof.

Abstract: An electronic control unit (ECU) is disposed in a vehicle, and includes an input section and a controller. The input section inputs vehicle data from vehicle sensors and actuator to the controller. The controller includes a priority setter and a transmission data generator. The transmission data generator transmits transmission object data, which is data for transmission to an external device and generated from the vehicle data. The priority setter sets priority of the transmission object data based on priority setting data, which is data included in the vehicle data. The transmission data generator performs an adjustment process for adjusting an amount of transmission data based on the priority. The ECU provides an efficient transmission of data by limiting and/or preventing an increase in the amount of transmission data.

Abstract: An in-vehicle electronic control unit disposed in a vehicle is equipped with (i) a fault-diagnosis function for diagnosing a fault of a component in the vehicle and (ii) a deterioration detector function for detecting a degree of deterioration of the component in the vehicle, which includes a deterioration information memory for memorizing deterioration information regarding a deterioration of each of the vehicle components, a deterioration checker for detecting whether the degree of deterioration has reached a check value for each of the vehicle components, and a recorder for recording the deterioration information of the component in the deterioration information memory when the degree of deterioration of the component has reached the check value. Thereby, the deterioration information of the component is storable at a component-worn timing when the degree of deterioration/wear of the subject component rises to a certain level.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining whether a test subject has equol-producing ability or not. The method involves measuring equol-producing ability of a test subject, wherein an equol converting enzyme gene derived from enteric bacteria of the test subject is detected using three types of primer sets described herein as the primer sets a) to c).

Abstract: A data processing device has a communicator that receives, from a data overwriter, first device-specific information that identifies one of the plural same-ID data processing devices as a data overwrite object device having data to be overwritten by the data overwriter. Then, a device-specific information generator in the data processing device generates second device-specific information that is used to determine whether a subject data processing device is the data overwrite object device. Then, a specifier in the subject data processing device specifies that (i) the subject data processing device is the data overwrite object device or (ii) one of other plural same-ID data processing devices other than the subject data processing device is the data overwrite object device, based on a matching between (a) the first device-specific information received from the data overwriter, and (b) the second device-specific information generated by the device-specific information generator.
