  • Patent number: 11318923
    Abstract: One embodiment provides a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve includes a fixed core, a movable core and a coil. A first valve seat member and a second valve seat member are fixed in the fixed core, and a valve body member is disposed therebetween. A spring member is interposed between the valve body member and the second valve seat member such that the valve body member is normally seated on the first valve seat member. The valve body member can move away from the first valve seat member to be seated on the second valve seat member, by being pushed by the movable core. And, a guide member holds the valve body member and the spring member to the second valve seat member so as not to move away from the second valve seat member.

  • Patent number: 11098901
    Abstract: In a gas turbine combustor, a sectional shape in a radial direction of either one of an inner peripheral surface of a second inner tube member and an outer peripheral surface of a first inner tube member, in a fitting portion of a crossfire tube assembly, has a plurality of small-curvature portions having a curvature smaller than a reference curvature, the reference curvature being a curvature of a portion at a maximum distance from the center of the sectional shape. This configuration ensures the crossfire tube assembly is cooled, and the Possibility of thermal deformation or fire damage is lowered, without lowering the temperature of a combustion exhaust gas passing through the crossfire tube assembly of the gas turbine combustor.

  • Patent number: 11095519
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a network device and a method for setting the network device that can, in developing functional modules, perform abnormality detection based on statistical information and setting verification in consideration of a dependency relationship between the functional modules and statistical information and can address a change in a policy in the setting verification and a change in a condition in the abnormality detection. In the network device according to the present disclosure, an existing setting of each module, external information, a dependency relationship, and a policy are collected at one location (setting verification unit) by using a common language. When a new setting is made to the modules, a new dependency relationship is set, or new external information is acquired, the new setting is sent to the setting verification unit and checked against the existing setting, the external information, and the dependency relationship.
