Patent number: 11990759Abstract: An electric power management system includes a solar radiation amount measurement device that measures a solar radiation amount received by the solar power generation device, and a control device that outputs a control command including a command for the load facility. The control device includes a pre-processing unit that outputs information used to generate the control command, and a command generation unit that outputs the control command, on the basis of the information output by the pre-processing unit. The pre-processing unit includes a prediction unit that outputs electric power expected to be output by the electric power generation facility as estimated generation electric power, on the basis of the solar radiation amount. The command generation unit includes a load command unit that outputs the control command including a command for increasing and decreasing the load electric power to the load facility, on the basis of the estimated generation electric power.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: IHI CORPORATIONInventors: Norihiro Takai, Akira Takami, Masato Kotake, Seiichi Nakajima

Publication number: 20220036323Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method uses a processor of a device of an expiring virtual currency (EVC) wallet user. An EVC transaction is retrieved that is associated with a blockchain and addressed to an address associated with the EVC wallet. The EVC transaction comprises an expiration date for the EVCs, as part of virtual currency user rules (VCURs). If the expiration date of the EVCs has passed, the method automatically, and without user intervention, transfers the EVCs to a transferee designated in the VCURs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Yu Sasaki, GOYA SAKURADA, HIROSHIGE TAKEUCHI, MASATO TAKAI, MIKIO KURIHARA

Patent number: 7364660Abstract: A polyamide having an equilibrium water absorption of not more than 10% is used as a main material. As a polyamide having an equilibrium water absorption of not.more than 10%, for example, a polyamide comprising a dicarboxylic acid component comprising 60-100 mol % of terephthalic acid and a diamine component comprising 60-100 mol % of 1,9-nonanediamine and/or 2-methyl-1,8-octanediamine is used. As a result, a porous membrane showing extremely small dimensional change even after a hot water treatment, and particularly useful as a medical separation membrane permitting an AC sterilization treatment and the like is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2003Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignees: Kuraray Co., Ltd., Kuraray Medical Inc.Inventors: Masato Takai, Yoichi Matsumoto, Kouji Sekiguchi, Tomoki Kakiuchi, Hitoshi Tsuruta, Takao Shimizu

Patent number: 6831139Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) in a polymerization solution in a vessel. The polymerization solution includes ethylene, vinyl acetate, methanol and a polymerization initiator. This method includes: cooling a gas including a vapor evaporated from the polymerization solution whereby to produce a condensate of at least a portion of said gas, and introducing said condensate into the polymerization solution whereby to evaporate at least one component in said condensate. Said vapor includes said at least one component.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Kuraray Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takaharu Kawahara, Masato Takai

Patent number: 6777505Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an ethylene-vinyl acetate that includes: (a) introducing an ethylene containing gas and a vinyl acetate containing liquid into a heat exchanger, said gas including ethylene vaporized from a polymerization solution; (b) bringing said gas into contact with said liquid in the heat exchanger so as to dissolve at least a portion of the ethylene in said gas into said liquid; and (c) introducing said liquid from the heat exchanger into the polymerization solution. In this method, the ethylene containing gas and the vinyl acetate containing liquid flow in parallel with each other in the heat exchanger.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2002Date of Patent: August 17, 2004Assignee: Kuraray Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masato Takai, Etsuo Nakazato, Kouichi Takahashi, Yoichi Matsumoto, Masahiro Igaki, Takaharu Kawahara, Nobutoshi Wada

Patent number: 6514409Abstract: A hollow fiber membrane made of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol polymer, comprises a dense layer existing in the inner surface and a porous layer existing in the layer other than the dense layer, wherein the hollow fiber membrane has a porosity of 60 to 90%, an overall mass transfer coefficient for myoglobin in a water-based system of not less than 0.003 cm/min., and a rejection rate for albumin in a bovine blood system of not less than 97%. The EVA hollow fiber membrane is useful for hemopurification membranes such as hemodialysis membranes, hemodiafiltration membranes, hemofiltration membranes and continuous hemofiltration membranes, and a process for producing the same.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Kuraray Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoki Kakiuchi, Koji Sekiguchi, Takeshi Suehiro, Shuhei Nakaji, Yoichi Matsumoto, Masato Takai, Nozomu Sugo, Hitoshi Tsuruta
