  • Publication number: 20100130038
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dummy terminal, which is capable of being inserted in a lockable manner into a connector-terminal socket, instead of a cable connector terminal, so as to prevent a cable connector terminal from being erroneously inserted into an improper or unauthorized connector-terminal socket which has no cable connector terminal connected thereto. The dummy terminal 10 comprises a dummy terminal body 12, a thin plate member 13, an engagement member 14 and a set screw 30. The dummy terminal body 12 is generally composed of a grooved frame defined by opposite side walls 12A, 12B and top wall 12C, and a front wall 12D formed at a front end of the grooved frame. The thin plate member 13 is generally composed of an anchor portion 13A to be mounted on the front wall 12D, and a restraint portion 13B for placing an engaged state of the engagement member 14 under restraint.

  • Publication number: 20090276608
    Abstract: In a microprocessor for pipeline processing instruction execution, dependency relationship information representing a dependency relationship of each of a plurality of instructions with all the preceding instructions is stored, and whether or not the instructions in stages after instruction issue depend on the instruction of a miss speculation is judged based on the dependency relationship information if the miss speculation occurs during the execution of the plurality of instructions in accordance with a set schedule. Thus, this microprocessor can perform a recovery processing for invalidating only the instructions in a dependency relationship at once in the case of a miss speculation in speculative scheduling.

  • Patent number: 6295837
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to separate air at low power cost to produce high-pressure nitrogen gas and oxygen gas by utilizing cold of liquefied natural gas. Feed air is pre-purified and then introduced into a cryogenic separation unit, so that oxygen gas and nitrogen gas are separated. The nitrogen gas separated in the cryogenic separation unit is introduced into a second heat exchanger, and cooled by indirect heat exchange with a refrigerant. The nitrogen gas thus cooled is compressed in a low-temperature nitrogen compressor and supplied through a heater to an external plant for consumption. LNG is introduced into a first heat exchanger as a cold source. In the first heat exchanger, LNG cools and liquefies the refrigerant by indirect heat exchange. The liquefied refrigerant is sent to the second heat exchanger. The refrigerant is vaporized by indirect heat exchange with the nitrogen gas in the second heat exchanger. The vaporized refrigerant is returned to the first heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 5806340
    Abstract: A high purity nitrogen generator unit which is excellent in the energy efficiency and the recovery of high purity nitrogen gas, is provided. In a rectification column 1, feed air is separated to oxygen-rich liquid air and nitrogen gas. The oxygen-rich liquid air in its bottom is reduced in pressure by a first expansion valve 21 and sent to a composition regulation column 3. The nitrogen gas in its top is condensed in a nitrogen condenser 2, the resulting liquid nitrogen is returned as a reflux liquid to the rectification column 1 and non-condensed gas is released. After oxygen-rich waste gas in the lower part of the composition regulation column 3 is reduced in pressure by an expansion turbine 6, it is released by way of a first heat exchanger 4. Mixed gas in the top of the composition regulation column 3 is introduced for re-circulation into a first compressor 5.
