Abstract: A fibrous body processing apparatus includes a humidifying unit, a first processing unit, a second processing unit, a first supply passage, a second supply passage, and a returning passage. The humidifying unit generates humidified air. The first processing unit processes a material that contains fibers. The second processing unit processes the material that was processed at the first processing unit. Humidified air is supplied from the humidifying unit to the first processing unit through the first supply passage. Humidified air is supplied from the first processing unit to the second processing unit, together with the material, through the second supply passage. The returning passage includes an upstream-side end portion and a downstream-side end portion. Humidified air is returned from the second supply passage or the second processing unit to the humidifying unit through the returning passage.

Abstract: A fibrous body processing apparatus includes a coarsely-crushed-pieces reservoir unit; a humidifying unit that generates humidified air and supplies the humidified air to the coarsely-crushed-pieces reservoir unit; a weight measurement unit that measures a weight of the coarsely crushed pieces let out of the coarsely-crushed-pieces reservoir unit; a fixed amount supplying unit that supplies a fixed amount of the coarsely crushed pieces measured by the weight measurement unit; a defibrating unit that defibrates the coarsely crushed pieces supplied from the fixed amount supplying unit; a first transportation portion through which the coarsely crushed pieces are sent from the coarsely-crushed-pieces reservoir unit to the weight measurement unit; a second transportation portion through which the coarsely crushed pieces are sent from the fixed amount supplying unit to the defibrating unit; and a generated at the humidifying unit is supplied to the defibrating unit while bypassing the weight measurement unit.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a vehicle back door inner panel containing synthetic resin as a constituent material. The inner panel includes an opening, an upper portion, a skirt portion, and two side portions. The opening is provided with a back window. The upper portion is closer to a vehicle top than the opening, extending in a vehicle width direction. The upper portion is provided with two door hinge portions at left and right ends. The skirt portion is closer to a vehicle bottom than the opening. The skirt portion is provided with a latch attachment portion at a lower end. The side portions are on left and right sides of the opening, extending in a vehicle top-bottom direction. The side portions connect the upper portion and the side portions. The side portions have a hat-shaped cross section open toward a rear side of the vehicle. The skirt portion has two connecting portions each having a hat-shaped cross section open toward the rear side of the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an apparatus for detecting if a distributed power supply is switched from cooperation with another power system to isolated or single operation. The distributed power supply includes a synchronous generator and possibly also another power source such as an induction generator. The single operation detecting apparatus includes a frequency detector connected to a line system of a customer, reactive power regulating equipment connected to the distributed power supply, a fluctuation signal generator for providing periodic small fluctuations to a reactive power setter of the reactive power regulating equipment, and a single operation signal generator for monitoring the output of the frequency detector to output a single operation signal when the monitored output deviates from a range between allowable upper and lower limits around a reference frequency.

Abstract: A method for detecting islanding operation of a rotating-machine type dispersed generator. The dispersed generator is interconnected with a main electric source through a circuit breaker to constitute an electric power system. The estimating method is implemented as follows: (a) changing electric power of the electric power system; (b) detecting frequency component of the electric power; and (c) deciding that an islanding operation of the dispersed generator is executed if the change of the frequency component becomes greater than a predetermined value. With this method, it becomes possible to detect the islanding operation of the dispersed generator even if the power flow at the interconnecting circuit breaker is generally zero.
