Patent number: 9851136Abstract: In this container refrigerator, the permissible equivalent negative-phase-sequence current of a generator to be connected is calculated in Step S3 based on its capacitance. Next, in Step S4, the power consumption of an inverter device to generate the equivalent negative-phase-sequence current is calculated. Then, in Step S6, the equivalent negative-phase-sequence current generated by the container refrigerator is calculated based on the power consumption of this inverter device. Thereafter, in Step S9, It is compared to Itg. If It>Itg is satisfied, It is restricted until It?Itg is met by lowering the output frequency of the inverter device repeatedly in multiple stages. Consequently, even if the generator connected has small capacitance, the operation may be continued at a number of rotations appropriate for that small capacitance without causing the generator to overheat or be burned out.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Kouji Uchida, Naoki Nakatani, Shuuhei Yamaguchi

Publication number: 20100209566Abstract: [Object] To newly develop a method whereby walnut can be simply, rapidly and accurately separated and distinguished from pecan nut. [Means for Resolution] Due to the increase in the number of patients with the walnut allergen and the increase of import of pecan nut which is an edible nut belonging to the family Juglandaceae, recently in Japan, the development of a method for detecting walnut and the nut in a discriminative manner is urgently needed. With attention focused on the chloroplast matK gene with the apparent gene sequence, we developed a PCR method for specifically detecting nuts of the family Juglandaceae and identified the matK sequence of pecan nut to establish a method for discriminating walnut and pecan nut from each other using restriction enzymes, for discriminating walnut and pecan nut from each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2008Publication date: August 19, 2010Applicants: Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd., Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeo Yano, Yumiko Sakai, Kouji Uchida, Yoshiki Nakao, Kimie Ishihata, Shigeru Nakano, Toshihiro Yamada
