  • Patent number: 11913717
    Abstract: A natural gas liquefying apparatus includes: a precooling unit, which is a treatment unit configured to precool natural gas; a liquefying unit, which is a treatment unit configured to liquefy the natural gas; a refrigerant cooling unit, which is a treatment unit configured to cool a liquefying refrigerant; a compression unit configured to compress vaporized refrigerants; and a pipe rack including air-cooled coolers arrayed and arranged on an upper surface. The treatment units and the compression unit are separately arranged in a first arrangement region and a second arrangement region arranged opposed to each other across a long side of the pipe rack. The pipe rack interposed between the first and second arrangement regions has a region in which no air-cooled cooler is arranged in order to arrange a plurality of pipes, through which refrigerants are allowed to flow, in a direction of a short side of the pipe rack.

  • Publication number: 20100201822
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a detection mechanism that includes a transparent substrate on which a detection electrode pattern is provided in biaxial directions and detects, with one of main surface sides of the transparent substrate being an input operation surface, a position on the input operation surface within the biaxial space that an object has touched, the transparent substrate being capable of transmitting near-infrared light; a to-be-authenticated-object placement portion provided in the vicinity of the input operation surface and on which the object is placed as an object to be authenticated; a first light source to irradiate the near-infrared light onto the object to be authenticated; and a photographic camera that is provided on the other one of the main surface sides of the transparent substrate and photographs the object to be authenticated onto which the near-infrared light has been irradiated via the transparent substrate.
