Abstract: It is provided a steel with composite plating film providing rust prevention over a long time period and a method of manufacturing thereof. A composite plating film 24 is formed on a metal material 21. The film 24 has a plating film 23 made of a sacrificial anode metal and photocatalyst particles 22 dispersed and fixed in the plating film 23. The photocatalyst particle has a main body composed of a photocatalyst and a semiconductor material supported thereon. The composite plating film 24 is formed on the surface of the metal material 21 by electroplating, hot-dipping, chemical plating or the like.

Abstract: In order to allow an amphibious traveling vehicle to safely travel along rails on the land and in the water, or underwater even off the rails, a system for transmitting information of amphibious traveling vehicle comprising a traveling vehicle-side control system (51) which controls the operating state of the traveling vehicle and is provided on the traveling vehicle for traveling under water or underwater and in the air, a host-side control system (53) which instructs the system (51) to operate the traveling vehicle and is provided separately from the traveling vehicle, and communication means (60 and 61) which transmit information between the systems (51 and 53) and are connected to these systems (51 and 53), said system being characterized in that said communication means (60 and 61) is constituted of modulators (54 and 55) which modulate received instruction information into light beams, demodulators (56 and 57) which demodulate received beams of light into the instruction information and a light beam tra

Abstract: A filter apparatus removes foreign substances contained in raw water by passing the raw water through a filter layer (8) made up of a particulate filter medium disposed in a filter tank (1).

Abstract: An underwater and land travel system comprising an underwater and land travel vehicle which is capable of being reliably and safely moved from on the land into the water and which may also be used for viewing the sight in the water with delight and safety irrespective of the weather or the like.

Abstract: A rail type underwater travel vehicle includes a passenger observation room, an engine room housing drive apparatus and a flotation adjustment tank chamber. The vehicle can travel freely from land into water by means of drive tires that are rotated by the drive apparatus, the drive tires riding on a pair of travel guides extending from the land into the water.
