Patent number: 11018485Abstract: An explosion-proof structure includes a partition wall that partitions a sealed space in a container and wiring that connects the interior and the exterior of the sealed space. The partition wall includes a filling portion through which the wiring passes. The filling portion includes an inner peripheral wall surface that defines an opening having a central axis that passes through the partition wall, a filler that seals a gap between the inner peripheral wall surface and the wiring, a first peripheral groove provided on the inner peripheral wall surface and filled with the filler, and a second peripheral groove provided on the inner peripheral wall surface and filled with the filler. This explosion-proof structure is capable of improving the seal of the filling portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: YOKOGAWA ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Moe Goto, Yuichi Hayashi, Kazutoshi Okamoto, Shuo Huang, Shinichi Mimura

Patent number: 7404377Abstract: A method of rearing, cultivating or stocking crustacea, and crustacea reared, cultivated or stocked by the method. The method improves the survival rate and survival period of the crustacea. In the method, the crustacea are reared, cultivated or stocked within a deep sea water drawn from the sea at a depth of above 100 meters. The crustacea may be deep sea crustacea living in the sea at a depth of above 100 meters. The crustacea do not include crustacea living in the Sea of Japan at a depth of above 250 meters. The deep sea water may have a temperature of below 20° C.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2006Date of Patent: July 29, 2008Assignee: Shizuoka PrefectureInventor: Kazutoshi Okamoto

Patent number: 4920930Abstract: A system for blow-by gas return to the combustion chamber of an engine according to the present invention including an oil separator with an inlet communicating with an outlet through a diffusion chamber and a filter element; said oil separator communicating with the crankcase of the engine through a breather and an inlet pipe, and also communicates with the intake manifold of the engine through an outlet pipe, so as to separate the oil from the blow-by gas almost completely. The oil separator and the inlet and outlet pipes are disposed in a space directly over the cylinder head of the engine and the intake manifold, so as to prevent ice accumulation therein by the radiation and convection of engine heat thereon.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 1987Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignee: Kubota LimitedInventors: Kenji Sakano, Hideyuki Nakashima, Hiroo Sakanaka, Kazutoshi Okamoto
