  • Patent number: 7936387
    Abstract: An intended-usage judger judges an intended usage of an inputted digital imaging signal. A selector selects one or a plurality of signals to be inspected from a group of signals constituting the digital imaging signal based on a result of the judgment by the intended-usage judger. A phase adjuster adjusts a phase of a pulse used when the digital imaging signal is picked up based on an output state of the signal to be inspected.

  • Patent number: 7845392
    Abstract: A heat exchanger assembly has a first heat exchanger with a first heat radiating area receiving a first cooling fluid, a second heat exchanger with a second heat radiating area receiving a second cooling fluid and a third heat radiating area receiving a third cooling fluid. In use, the difference in temperature between the first cooling fluid entering and exiting the first heat radiating area is greater than the difference in temperature between the second cooling fluid entering and exiting the second heat radiating area and greater than the difference in temperature between the third cooling fluid entering and exiting the third heat radiating area. The temperature of the second cooling fluid flowing through the second heat radiating area is higher than the temperature of the third cooling fluid flowing through the third heat radiating area.

  • Publication number: 20090087708
    Abstract: A fuel cell system according to this invention comprises: a pressurizing valve (2a) provided on a cooling water circulation path; a reservoir tank (5) into which the cooling water flows through a pipe (4) when the pressurizing valve (2a) is open; an air supply pipe (13) that is connected to the reservoir tank (5) to supply air for diluting a fuel gas when the fuel gas accumulates in the reservoir tank (5); and a diluted gas exhaust pipe (15) for discharging the diluted fuel gas from the reservoir tank (5).

  • Publication number: 20080223559
    Abstract: A heat exchanger has a first heat exchanger with a first heat radiating area receiving a first cooling body, a second heat exchanger with a second heat radiating area receiving a second cooling body and a third heat radiating area receiving a third cooling body. In use, the difference in temperature between the first cooling body entering and exiting the first heat radiating area is greater than the difference in temperature between the second cooling body entering and exiting the second heat radiating area and greater than the difference in temperature between the third cooling body entering and exiting the third heat radiating area. The temperature of the second cooling body flowing through the second heat radiating area is higher than the temperature of the third cooling body flowing through the third heat radiating area.
