Abstract: A hydrogen production system includes: a steam generator heating supplied raw water and generating steam; an electrolytic cell receiving the steam and generating hydrogen and oxygen through a high temperature electrolysis; a cooling unit cooling an unreacted part of the steam in the high temperature electrolysis and changing the unreacted part of the steam into steam condensate; a gas/liquid separator performing gas/liquid separation on the generated hydrogen and the generated steam condensate; a hydrogen compression unit compressing the separated hydrogen and transmitting thermal energy generated when the hydrogen is compressed, to the raw water; and a hydrogen storage unit storing the compressed hydrogen.

Abstract: A gas-insulated device for electrical power is disclosed that includes: a fixed contact unit and a movable contact unit which are disposed to face with each other in an airtight container filled with a carbon dioxide gas or a gas mixture including a carbon dioxide gas, serving as an arc extinguishing gas. The fixed contact unit includes a fixed arc contact, a fixed conduction contact disposed outside the fixed arc contact, and a conductive supporting member for electrically connecting between the fixed arc contact and the fixed conduction contact and supporting these contacts.

Abstract: A high-pressure treatment apparatus comprises a first solid reservoir, a second solid reservoir connected to the first solid reservoir through a first connecting pipe, a high-pressure reactor connected to the second solid reservoir through a second connecting pipe, means for feeding reaction medium into the high-pressure reactor, a first sealing unit and a second sealing unit intervened respectively in the first connecting pipe and second connecting pipe, a first fluid feed unit for feeding a first fluid between the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit, a second fluid feed unit for feeding a second fluid between the second sealing unit and the high-pressure reactor, and means for opening the second sealing unit at the time of shut-off of the first sealing unit and controlling the first fluid and the second fluid to form a pressure-gradient so that pressure between the first sealing unit and the second sealing unit and pressure between the second sealing unit and the high-pressure reactor decrease gr

Abstract: A polyol fatty acid ester having mixed acid groups is produced by reacting a partial ester of a polyol and a branched fatty acid with a a straight chain fatty acid or a lower alcohol ester thereof in the presence of a lipase. The obtained glyceride mixture contains a large amount of diglyceride having a branched, saturated fatty acid group and a straight chain, saturated fatty acid group.

Abstract: The following diacylglycerin is useful for a cosmetic oil and a cosmetic composition such as pack, cream and emulsion. ##STR1## (where one each of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 denotes a residue of a straight-chain saturated fatty acid having 11-17 carbon atoms, a residue of a branched-chain saturated fatty acid having 10-18 carbon atoms, and a hydrogen atom).
