  • Patent number: 11964260
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a catalyst with which it is possible to obtain a supported metal ammonia synthesis catalyst, in which there are restrictions in terms of producing method and producing facility, and particularly large restrictions for industrial-scale producing, in a more simple manner and so that the obtained catalyst has a high activity. This method for manufacturing an ammonia synthesis catalyst includes: a first step for preparing 12CaO·7Al2O3 having a specific surface area of 5 m2/g or above; a second step for supporting a ruthenium compound on the 12CaO·7Al2O3; and a third step for performing a reduction process on the 12CaO·7Al2O3 supporting the ruthenium compound, obtained in the second step. This invention is characterized in that the reduction process is performed until the average particle diameter of the ruthenium after the reduction process has increased by at least 15% in relation to the average particle diameter of the ruthenium before the reduction process.

  • Publication number: 20070027947
    Abstract: A simple approval administration system and a method which can reliably administrate information regarding proposal and approval are provided. A proposer terminal sends proposal data to a host server, which stores the proposal data on a proposal DB 110 by correlating the proposal data with an administration ID and sends permission to print a proposal form to the proposer terminal. The proposer terminal 200 prints the proposal form (paper document). After confirming the content of the proposal form, a user of an approver terminal 300 approves the content of the proposal form and then sends approval information to the host server 100. The host server 100 stores the proposal data (on which the approved information is stored) on the master DB by correlating the proposal data with the administration ID and sends permission to print the approved proposal form to the approver terminal, which prints the approved proposal form (paper document).

  • Patent number: 4664333
    Abstract: An occupant restraining webbing employed in a seatbelt system for a vehicle includes warp which has a dry tenacity of 8.8 gr/De or more, a thickness of 1,700 De or less and a twist multiplier of 3,100 to 5,500. Thus, it is possible to reduce the extra amount by which the webbing is undesirably wound off after the rotation of a takeup shaft for winding off the webbing from a webbing retractor has ceased.

  • Patent number: 4519558
    Abstract: A tape player of small size and weight capable of detecting the end of the tape with a simple mechanism and automatically shutting off the tape player when the end of the tape is detected. The tape player includes a drive gear driven by a motor; a fast speed gear, which drives the tape during the rewind and fast forward modes; and a normal speed gear, which drives the tape during the record and playback modes. The drive gear, fast speed gear, and normal speed gear are mounted on the same spindle and are connected by coupling means that cause the gears to rotate together until the end of the tape is reached. The normal speed gear is connected via a friction coupling to a bias lever that forces cam following means on a shut-off lever to follow an eccentric cam on the drive gear.

  • Patent number: 4492995
    Abstract: A tape cassette loading device comprises a chassis on which a tape cassette is mounted, a pair of guide pins protruding from the chassis and capable of being fitted in guide holes of the tape cassette in a loaded position, a taper surface formed around the guide pin at a given height above the chassis so as to be tapered toward the extended end portion of the guide pin, and an ejection mechanism facing the front portion of the bottom surface of the tape cassette in the loaded position and capable of advancing and retreating along the guide pin. In the final ejected position the cassette rests on the upper tapered portion of the guide or guides.
