Patent number: 7013943Abstract: A first parting film is held on a first flat laminating table in close contact with the first flat laminating table, and then wide prepregs are laid for plane lamination on the first parting film to form a large prepreg-laminate having a large area. A second parting film is held on a second flat laminating table in close contact with the second flat laminating table by suction, and then narrow prepregs to form a gridlike prepreg-laminate. The large prepreg-laminate is floated up by jetting air from the first flat laminating table is cut on a cutting table to obtain a prepreg-laminate skin. The gridlike prepreg-laminate is processed similarly to obtain a prepreg-laminate doubler. The prepreg-laminate skin and the prepreg-laminate doubler are carried from the cutting table to a laminating mold having a single-contour laminating surface so as to be superposed and are laminated to form a composite panel.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2005Date of Patent: March 21, 2006Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshikazu Sana, Akira Murai, Shunichi Bandoh

Publication number: 20020014419Abstract: An ozone storage apparatus for storing ozone efficiently and extracting ozone effectively is disclosed. Also ozone storage methods comprising the steps of supplying ozone either to a dried silica gel which is produced by neutralizing sodium silicate and sulfuric acid and that is then washed with water to a pH level between 6 and 7 or further processing the dried silica gel by crushing it and washing with at least one of a sulfuric acid or water. The methods also include a process where if oxygen has been adsorbed in the silica gel, a vacuum is created inside the storage container holding the silica gel, and then ozone can be supplied to the silica gel. Silica gel containing aluminum between 0.002-0.1 percent by weight is used for the storage medium. Also, the ozone is extracted from a tube-valve associated with the storage container by a natural downward flow.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2001Publication date: February 7, 2002Inventor: Akira Murai

Patent number: 6129849Abstract: In treatment of water by injection of ozone into the water for removal of harmful matters, odor matters, and color matters therein, either or both of a nonyl phenol and a cresol are added to the water to be treated. The nonyl phenol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. The cresol is added together with a lower alcohol or acetone to the water to be treated. A p-nonyl phenol is added as the nonyl phenol for treatment. As the cresol for addition, a p-cresol is added. As the nonyl phenol for addition, a nonyl phenol is used such that two molecular weights of 220 and 107 are detected when measured by either or both of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. By the above treatment, the decomposition reaction of ozone can be accelerated, and thereby it becomes possible to accelerate the oxidative decomposition reaction of organic matters, the amount of ozone required for the decomposition of harmful matters can be reduced with the decomposition time.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1998Date of Patent: October 10, 2000Assignees: Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., Kansai Environmental Engineering Center Co., Ltd.Inventors: Motonobu Yoshikawa, Akira Murai, Ikuo Kouno, Kazuhiro Miura
