Abstract: An adsorption system is placed in an air passage used to supply air to a room. The adsorption system includes an adsorption section that adsorbs a target substance except water, and a reduction section that reduces accumulation of moisture in the adsorption section. An adsorbent used in the adsorption section contains a metal-organic framework. The reduction section includes a heating element that heats the adsorption section and evaporates moisture in air that has flowed into the adsorption section.

Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one driving operation unit configured to receive a driving operation of a driver of the vehicle; at least one sensor configured to detect a driving operation performed on the driving operation unit; and a control device configured to receive a signal input from the at least one sensor. The control device includes one or more processors; and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to derive driving result information for evaluating the driving operation, based on at least the signal input from the at least one sensor; execute processing for storing the derived driving result information in a storage device as history information; read the history information stored in the storage device; and output output information based on a comparison result between the derived driving result information and the read history information.

Abstract: A hub unit of the present invention includes a cap that covers an opening of a pilot portion, and the cap includes a cap body formed in a disc shape, and a cylindrical portion extending in an axial direction from an outer periphery of the cap body. The cap is removably attached to the pilot portion by screwing an external thread portion formed on an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion of the cap, to an internal thread portion formed on an inner periphery of the pilot portion.

Abstract: The disclosed flow measurement structure used in a flow measurement device is provided with a conduit through which gas to be measured flows, and a diverter which diverts gas flowing through the conduit and conducts the diverted gas to a detection element for measuring the flow amount of said gas. An inlet of the diverter is provided in the periphery of the conduit. The conduit is provided with an inclined section which, provided upstream of the inlet, guides the gas towards the center of the conduit.

Abstract: Use a centrifuge, especially a peeler centrifuge, that has a coarse salt particle layer deposited on its screen to effect recovery of an epoxy resin, especially a liquid epoxy resin, from a product slurry, which epoxy resin has a lower residual salt content than an epoxy resin recovered without use of the coarse salt particle layer.

Abstract: A flow measurement device according to the present invention includes a main flow channel through which fluid flows, and a secondary flow channel unit where the fluid is diverted from the main flow channel, supplied to a flow amount detection element and thereafter returned to the main flow channel. The secondary flow channel unit includes a diversion flow channel through which the fluid is diverted from the main flow channel and returned to the main channel without the fluid being supplied to the flow amount detection element, and a detection channel in which the fluid is diverted from the diversion flow channel and provided to the flow amount detection element. The diversion flow channel includes a smooth flow part in which the fluid flows smoothly between the two ends connecting to the main flow channel, and a first chamber and a second chamber which, adjacent to the smooth flow part, are divided by a partition provided so as to obstruct flow of the fluid.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the recovery and purification of solid salt compositions from an organic liquid containing epoxy resin and at least one of epihalohydrin and solvent to obtain purified salt and/or brine compositions that may be useful in industrial processes.

Abstract: A process for the production of liquid epoxy resins, including: contacting a polyhydric phenol and an epihalohydrin in the presence of an ionic catalyst to form a halohydrin intermediate reaction product; concurrently: reacting a portion of the halohydrin intermediate reaction product with an alkali hydroxide to form a solid salt suspended in a liquid mixture including a dehydrohalogenated product and unreacted halohydrin intermediate, wherein the alkali hydroxide is used at less than a stoichiometric amount; and removing water and epihalohydrin as a vapor from the reacting mixture; separating the solid salt from the liquid mixture; reacting at least a portion of the unreacted halohydrin intermediate with an alkali hydroxide in the presence of water to form an organic mixture including an epoxy resin and unreacted epihalohydrin and an aqueous solution including a salt; separating the aqueous mixture from the organic mixture; and separating the unreacted epihalohydrin from the liquid epoxy resin.

Abstract: In an MPLS or GMPLS network, links for hops of a communication path and adaptation to be implemented on the border of management domains or layers are automatically appropriately selected based on a service type or a requirement for maintenance without the necessity of complicating a control sequence. First, a unit that appends an identifier of a service to be provided and an attribute of the service to a communication path establishment control message, and requests path establishment is installed in a source node. Secondly, a unit that determines a requirement for maintenance of the communication path and adaptation on the basis of the service identifier and/or service attribute is installed in each node. Thirdly, maintenance attributes of network resources are compared with the requirement for maintenance in order to determine links and nodes through which the communication path passes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel packing for a solar cell module laminator. An object is to solve the problem of durability involved in conventional packings and to stably manufacture a high-quality module over a long period of time. The packing is composed of an olefin based rubber crosslinked with an organic peroxide and allowed to have a Shore A hardness, a dimensional stability, and a compression set each falling within a certain range. The olefin based rubber is suitably an EPDM rubber and/or an EPM rubber and is made possible for achieving extrusion molding.

Abstract: In an MPLS/GMPLS network, a link used by a communication path for each hop and adaptations used at the boundary between management domains or layers are appropriately and automatically selected according to a service type and a required maintenance condition, without making a control sequence complicated. First, a unit for requesting path establishment by including an identifier of a service to be provided and a service attribute in a communication path establishment control message is provided for a source node. Second, a unit for determining a required maintenance condition for a communication path and adaptations according to the service identifier and/or the service attribute is provided for each node. Third, links and nodes through which the communication path passes are determined by comparing each of achievable maintenance conditions for network resources with the required maintenance condition.
