  • Patent number: 9689320
    Abstract: The temperatures of fuel oils stored in fuel tanks 12a, 12b, 12c are separately detected by temperature sensors 52a, 52b, 52c, respectively. Based on the detection results, a CPU 49 heats a heat resistant fuel oil among the fuel oils using a heat exchanger 54, such that the temperature of an oil mixture generated by mixing the fuel oils satisfies a predetermined temperature condition. After the fuel oils including the heated heat resistant fuel oil are mixed in a blender 13, the CPU 49 detects the viscosity of the generated oil mixture using a viscometer 33. Thereafter, based on the detection result, the CPU 49 controls the mixture ratio or a heating temperature of the heat resistant fuel oil, such that the viscosity of the oil mixture satisfies a predetermined viscosity condition.

  • Patent number: 8584657
    Abstract: Mixture ratios of fuel oils, which are arbitrarily combined and mixed to generate an oil mixture, are set to be mixture ratios that satisfy a predetermined viscosity condition. Based on the mixture ratios, a CPU (49) generates an oil mixture by controlling flow regulating valves (23, 24) in a blender (13). When the oil mixture is supplied to the engine (14) as a pressurizing pump (32) operates, the viscosity is detected by a viscometer (33). The CPU (49) adjusts the mixture ratios based on the detection result, such that the viscosity of the oil mixture satisfies the viscosity condition and that the content of a fuel oil having the highest viscosity among the fuel oils in the oil mixture is maximized.

  • Publication number: 20080170244
    Abstract: This invention relates to a producer of content who associates information for print control with the content such as a picture, before delivery. Specifically, a digital broadcast receiving device receives this content delivery, and the content is decoded by a data decoding unit via a broadcast receiving unit. A controlling unit judges print control information registered in association with the decoded content, performs image processing in accordance with this print control information, and transmits data for printing to a printing device. The printing device performs printing according to the received data for printing.

  • Publication number: 20050078334
    Abstract: A producer of contents previously associates information for print control with contents such as a picture, before delivery. In a digital broadcast receiving device (20) that receives this contents delivery, the contents are decoded by a data decoding unit (22) via a broadcast receiving unit (21). A controlling unit (26) judges print control information registered in association with the decoded contents, performs image processing in accordance with this print control information, and transmits data for printing to a printing device (30). The printing device (30) performs printing on the basis of the received data for printing.

  • Publication number: 20030038978
    Abstract: A broadcast receiving device comprises: a memory medium 403 that stores a received e-mail and broadcast mail, an add-on program 402b for adding an e-mail header to a broadcast mail body text, and a display program 402c that displays a broadcast mail and an e-mail stored in the memory medium 403 on a monitor 407. When a CPU 411 receives the broadcast mail according to the programs, it extracts the broadcast mail body text, adds the e-mail header to the broadcast mail, stores it in the memory medium 403. Then the CPU 411 reads out the information of the broadcast mail and the e-mail stored in the memory medium 403, and displays them in one screen.
