Publication number: 20210278888Abstract: An information processing apparatus has a first processor, a memory, and a second processor. The memory and second processor are supplied with power from a power supply by a first supplying operation. The first processor is supplied with power from the power supply by a second supplying operation that starts when a startup instruction is inputted during the first supplying operation, executes a series of processes that precedes booting of an operating system, and that outputs a code indicating an execution step in the series of processes to the memory. The second processor outputs the code stored in the memory from an output port at least while the first supplying operation is being performed before inputting of a startup instruction. The debug board has a display unit and a third processor. The third processor receives the code from the output port and displays code-based information on the display unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2021Publication date: September 9, 2021Inventors: Tatsuya SHIMURA, Hiromi KOIZUMI

Patent number: 7767076Abstract: The reforming of heavy oil with supercritical water or subcritical water is accomplished by mixing together supercritical water, heavy oil, and oxidizing agent, thereby oxidizing vanadium in heavy oil with the oxidizing agent at the time of treatment with supercritical water and separate vanadium oxide. The separated vanadium oxide is removed by the scavenger after treatment with supercritical water. In this way it is possible to solve the long-standing problem with corrosion of turbine blades by vanadium which arises when heavy oil is used as gas turbine fuel.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2007Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Nobuyuki Hokari, Tomohiko Miyamoto, Hirokazu Takahashi, Hiromi Koizumi

Publication number: 20100050648Abstract: An object of this invention is to accelerate further mixing of a fuel and air independently of a flow rate of the fuel. A gas turbine combustor comprises: a fuel nozzle for blowing out a gas fuel; an air nozzle plate with an air nozzle for jetting out the fuel and air into a combustion chamber after the blowout of the fuel from the fuel nozzle; and an obstacle formed inside the air nozzle; wherein the obstacle causes a collision of the fuel jet blown out from the fuel nozzle, and hence causes turbulence in an airflow streaming into the air nozzle. According to the invention, mixing between the fuel and the air can be further accelerated independently of the flow rate of the fuel.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2009Publication date: March 4, 2010Inventors: Keisuke MIURA, Satoshi Dodo, Kazuhito KOYAMA, Tomomi KOGANEZAWA, Hiromi KOIZUMI
