Abstract: A steam generation apparatus includes: a heat medium flow passage through which a heat medium flows; a primary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage; a secondary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the primary economizer with respect to a flow direction of the heat medium; a primary evaporator disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the secondary economizer with respect to the flow direction of the heat medium; a first flash tank for generating flash steam; a first feed water line configured to supply water heated by the primary economizer to the secondary economizer; and a second feed water line disposed so as to branch from the first feed water line and configured to supply the water heated by the primary economizer to the first flash tank.

Abstract: A swage apparatus includes a main body for supporting a coupling such that an axis of the coupling is oriented in a first direction, a stopper which comes into contact with one member of a first member or a second member of the coupling and restricts the one member from moving in the first direction, a pusher which comes into contact with the other member of the first member or the second member and pushes the other member in the first direction, and a cover member for covering the coupling so as to prevent the axis of the coupling from becoming displaced. The axis can thereby be prevented from becoming displaced.

Abstract: A tire vulcanizing apparatus of the present invention includes a liftable center post which supports a green tire, and a heating portion which is fixed to the center post, is disposed inside the green tire, and transmits heat from the inside of the green tire to the green tire by radiation heat.

Abstract: A tire vulcanizing apparatus of the present invention includes bead rings (5, 6) which support a green tire (30X), and a heater (23) which heats the green tire (30X) by radiation heat of radiation heat amounts different from each other in a tread width direction of the green tire (30X) from the inside of the green tire (30X) supported by the bead rings (5, 6).

Abstract: A tire preheating apparatus includes an external preheating portion which surrounds the outside of a green tire having an easy vulcanization region and a difficult vulcanization region, and heats the green tire to a normal temperature or more from the outside of the green tire at a temperature less than the vulcanization temperature at which a vulcanization reaction is promoted in the green tire, and an internal preheating portion which is disposed inside the green tire, and heats the green tire to a normal temperature or more from the inside of the green tire at a temperature less than the vulcanization temperature. The external preheating portion includes a first tire heater which heats an outer surface of the easy vulcanization region, and a second tire heater which heats an outer surface of the difficult vulcanization region at a higher heating value than that of the first tire heater.

Abstract: Each of an intermediate transfer blanket and an intermediate transfer body for electrophotographic printing uses liquid toner for transferring the liquid toner in which toner particles formed by a thermoplastic material and a pigment are distributed and mixed in a petroleum solvent in the liquid toner, and a conducting layer that is formed by urethane rubber is provided on a front surface of a blanket, thereby realizing high-quality electrophotographic printing.

Abstract: An ink supplying unit supplies a water-based ink having a predetermined water content set in advance. An ink form roller receives the water-based ink from the ink supplying unit. A plate cylinder is in contact with the ink form roller, and receives the water-based ink from the ink form roller. A water-content decreasing unit decreases the water content of the water-based ink on the ink form roller.

Abstract: A cleaning device that cleans an ink-supply path of a printer including a plurality of cylinders that constitute the ink-supply path. The cleaning device supplies cleaning solution from a cleaning nozzle to an ink-transfer cylinder in the state where the ink-transfer cylinder is not in contact with an ink-source cylinder, and a blanket cylinder is not in contact with a recording medium. After the cleaning solution is supplied to all the cylinders, a cleaning-solution collecting cylinder is brought into contact with an inking cylinder to collect waste cleaning solution therefrom. A cleaning-solution removing blade removes the waste cleaning solution from the cleaning-solution collecting cylinder.

Abstract: An ink-transfer roller is brought into contact with an ink-source roller so that ink is transferred from the ink-source roller to the ink-transfer roller. The ink-transfer roller includes an ink-transfer member, an ink-transfer roller body, an elastic member, and a rotation axis. The elastic member is provided between the rotation axis and the ink-transfer roller body.
