  • Patent number: 11951427
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a hollow cylindrical filter for removing efficiently foreign substances from fluids. This is performed by forming complicated passages including an axial direction and a radial direction in the filter. The hollow cylindrical filter is formed by winding a metal wire rod in a spiral and multilayered manner. The metal wire rod includes a recess formed throughout the entire length in a longitudinal direction, or recesses repeated along said longitudinal direction. Some wire rod layers extend in an axial direction of the hollow cylindrical filter while the adjacent wire rod layers extend in an intersecting direction, thereby forming a plurality of communication paths for communicating between the overlapping wire rod layers. Additionally, a space is formed between the recess of one wire rod layer and another adjacent wire rod layer, allowing the plurality of communication paths to communicate with each other.

  • Publication number: 20240100504
    Abstract: A synthetic adsorbent, where a maximum value of a differential pore volume under a pressure condition of 0.5 to 30.0 psia is greater than 0.05 mL/g. A method of measuring the differential pore volume includes reducing a pressure in a sample container where the synthetic adsorbent that has been dried is placed to 10 Pa or less, mercury is degassed by reducing the pressure to 10 Pa or less, and the sample container is filled with the mercury at a pressure of 0.5 psia, measuring a mercury intrusion amount when the pressure in the sample container filled with the mercury is increased from 0.5 to 30.0 psia, and calculating the differential pore volume by dividing an amount of an increase in the mercury intrusion amount when a first-stage pressure calculated based on the mercury intrusion amount measured in the measuring is increased, by a measured amount of the synthetic adsorbent.

  • Publication number: 20220089455
    Abstract: [Problem] A novel method for producing a nanoparticle having a metal particle which contains iron oxide to which one or more hydrophilic ligands are coordination bonded is provided, where the nanoparticle is useful as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. [Means for Solution] As the novel method for producing a nanoparticle having a metal particle which contains iron oxide to which one or more hydrophilic ligands are coordination bonded, by performing ligand exchange to a hydrophilic ligand from an iron oxide nanoparticle having a surface to which a hydrophobic ligand is coordination bonded in one step using a phase transfer catalyst, it is possible to expect shortening of production processes and reduction of hydrophilic ligands used. Furthermore, by producing an iron oxide nanoparticle having a surface to which a hydrophobic ligand is coordination bonded using a dropwise addition method, it is possible to avoid a rapid temperature rise and a reaction at a high temperature of 200° C.

  • Patent number: 10707675
    Abstract: An electric-wire protection device includes a voltage adjustment unit that adjusts the voltage to a load, and a controller that includes a temperature calculation unit that calculates temperature information on an electric wire from a value of current, and makes the voltage adjustment unit into a shut-off state based on the temperature information. The temperature information is calculated from an amount of temperature changes based on the current value and a predetermined initial value. The controller shifts into a sleep state when a sleep condition is satisfied that includes a condition that the temperature information is lower than the initial value. The initial value when the controller returns from the sleep state is based on a convergence value of temperature in conducting energization on the electric wire at a maximum value of steady-state current.
