Abstract: The present invention relates to a production method for a hot rolled strip in a hot rolling line. An object of the present invention is to ensure stable running of a hot rolled strip on a hot runout table, and to prevent excessive displacement of the hot rolled strip above a pass line, and, for example, a head folding defect and a tail folding defect resulting from the displacement. In the method of the present invention, a fluid jet is squirted above a hot rolled strip conveyed by a hot runout table so as to pass over the hot rolled strip running without touching a surface of the hot rolled strip running on a pass line (a strip-conveying surface of the hot runout table). A strip portion displaced upward from the pass line beyond a predetermined level collides with the fluid jet, and the displacement of the strip portion is thereby corrected.

Abstract: Tire-side transmitters, attached to respective tires, have inherent ID numbers. On-vehicle receivers, disposed on an automotive vehicle, receive signals containing ID numbers. A control unit, disposed on the automotive vehicle, can identify tire mounting positions of respective tires based on the signals containing ID numbers received by the on-vehicle receivers. The controlling means memorizes information related to tire mounting positions of respective tires. Furthermore, the controlling means causes a displaying means disposed on the automotive vehicle to inform an automobile user of information relating to tire rotation, such as appropriate shifting directions instructing desirable tire mounting positions for respective tires, when predetermined tire rotation timing has come.

Abstract: A heat exchanger filled with a catalyst used for reforming DME is provided in an exhaust system of a combustion apparatus such as a furnace, an internal combustion engine, or electric power generation equipment. A mixed gas of DME and H2O is fed to the heat exchanger, thereby pyrolyzing the DME and recovering the sensible heat of an exhaust gas of the furnace or the internal combustion engine as H2 fuel. Since the waste heat is recovered not as steam, hot water, heated air, or the like, but as H2 fuel or H2 and CO fuel, the application of the recovered energy is not limited.

Abstract: A tire monitoring apparatus for a vehicle has plural transmitters arranged in plural tires for detecting air pressure of the corresponding tire and transmitting information including a detecting result by a radio wave, plural receivers for receiving the information transmitted from the respective transmitters, and signal receiving sensitivity changing means for changing signal receiving sensitivities. In the apparatus, each of the receivers is arranged in such a manner that a distance between one receiver and its corresponding transmitter is made shorter than the other distances between the one receiver and the other transmitters. A control means controls the signal receiving sensitivity changing means such that each of the receivers receives only the information included in the radio wave, which has a largest signal receiving level among the radio waves transmitted from the plural transmitters.

Abstract: A tire pressure monitoring ECU receives inputs indicative of identification (ID) codes, each of which is uniquely assigned to each sensor unit provided to each tire of a vehicle, via a bar code reader. It stores the ID codes and compares it with ID codes contained in signals from the sensor units, respectively. When the result of the comparison satisfies a predetermined condition, the stored ID code is registered as an ID code corresponding to the uniquely assigned ID code of the sensor unit.
