Patent number: 8097231Abstract: An activated carbon producing system includes a carbonizer for carbonizing cellulose triacetate as cellulose acylate to create carbonized material. A pulverizer pulverizes the carbonized material to obtain granules. An activation device activates the granules to create activated carbon. The activated carbon producing system includes a dispenser for supplying the cellulose triacetate at a plural number of times. A heating furnace is operated at each time after the dispenser operates, for thermally decomposing the cellulose triacetate from the dispenser, to obtain the carbonized material by carbonization. The pulverizer pulverizes the carbonized material in a size equal to or more than 2 mm and equal to or less than 20 mm. Temperature of the heating furnace is equal to or higher than 300 deg. C. and equal to or lower than 600 deg.

Patent number: 4315729Abstract: A gas burner capable of automatically shutting off the supply of a gas fuel when the content of the oxygen in the air supplied to the gas burner drops to a predetermined level. It incorporates a Smithell's gas burner as a pilot burner which consists of an inner tube and an outer tube formed with an auxiliary air port. The sizes of these inner and outer tubes as well as the diameter and position of the auxiliary air port are so selected that when the contents of the oxygen in the air supplied to the gas burner drops to a predetermined level, the inner flame cone at the mouth of the inner tube is blown off. A sensor is provided which detects the blown off and generates the output signal in response to which a control means such as a solenoid-operated control valve may close the gas supply pipe. The pilot burner is of the general type in that it can burn gas fuels having different heating values.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1979Date of Patent: February 16, 1982Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Tanaka, Noboru Ishibashi
