  • Publication number: 20160019990
    Abstract: A cooling system for cooling nuclear fuel stored in a pool that can prevent a lowering of water level resulting from evaporation is provided. The cooling system cools the nuclear fuels 3 stored in a bottom of the pool 2 filled with cooling water 4. The cooling water 4 comprises an upper layer formed in a water surface as side in which a density of the cooling water 4 is low, a lower layer formed in the bottom side of the pool 2 in which a density of the cooling water 4 is high, and an intermediate layer in which a density of the cooling water 4 is in between those of the cooling waters 4 in the upper layer and the lower layer. A lower end 5a of a heat pipe 5 adapted to transport heat in the form of latent heat of working fluid is situated at a site where the heat is exchanged with the cooling water 4, and an upper 5b end of the heat pipe 5 is exposed to external air. The nuclear fuel 3 is stored within the lower layer.

  • Publication number: 20150304945
    Abstract: A communication device includes a communication portion and a controller that determines whether or not a communication terminal from which the communication portion has received a connection request is a specified communication terminal. The controller makes a connection with the specified communication terminal based on the determination result of whether or not the communication terminal from which the communication portion has received the connection request is the specified communication terminal and transmits connection permission/refusal setting information to the specified communication terminal with which the controller has made a connection to allow a user to provide a connection permission/refusal setting of a communication terminal other than the specified communication terminal.

  • Publication number: 20150096721
    Abstract: An emergency cooling system for cooling an object certainly and rapidly in case a temperature of the object is accidentally raised abnormally. A loop thermosyphon is formed by connecting an evaporating portion with a condensing portion through a vapor pipe and a return pipe in a manner to form a cyclic conduit. A condensable working fluid circulates within the loop thermosyphon to be evaporated by a heat of the cooling object at the evaporating portion, and to be condensed at the condensing portion to radiate the heat conducted from the cooling object. A switching valve is disposed on the return pipe to selectively allow the working fluid in a liquid phase to be returned from the condensing portion to the evaporating portion. Heat transfer pipes to which the heat of the cooling object is conducted are arranged in the evaporating portion.

  • Patent number: 8139568
    Abstract: A communication device transmits to a relaying device a transmission right grant request for requesting a grant of a transmission right to a transmitting device, and the relaying device determines whether the received transmission right grant request is a command associated with the transmission right of the communication device or a command associated with the transmitting device, and if it determines that it is the command associated with the transmitting device, it grants the transmission right to the transmitting device, and starts broadcasting of data being transmitted from the transmitting device. In addition, when receiving from the communication device an operation command for operating the transmitting device, the relaying device determines a type of the command and transmits it to the transmitting device.

  • Patent number: 8089573
    Abstract: A liquid crystal panel (10) includes an active matrix substrate on which a transistor (12), a pixel electrode (17), signal lines (15, 16) and backup wirings (8a, 8b) for recovering a defect in the signal line are formed; a color filter substrate on which a common electrode (counter electrode) is formed; and a liquid crystal material provided between the active matrix substrate and the color filter substrate. The backup wirings (8a, 8b) are (electrically) connected to the common electrode on the color filter substrate, through (i) a protection circuit (9) for discharging an undesired electric charge that occurs in the backup wirings (8a, 8b) and (ii) a sealing adhesive (6). With this configuration, it becomes possible to reduce problems (for instance, unexpected short-circuiting of the backup wiring and the signal line) caused by the undesired electric charge that occurs in the backup wirings.
