  • Patent number: 9206818
    Abstract: An axial flow compressor includes: an electric motor including a rotating shaft; a compression portion including a driving shaft connected without a speed-up gear to the rotating shaft of the electric motor and a rotor rotating together with the driving shaft, the compression portion driving the driving shaft and thereby compressing a working fluid; and a velocity reducing portion having a space for reducing the flow velocity of a working fluid discharged from a discharge opening of the compression portion. The rotating shaft of the electric motor is connected to the end of the driving shaft on the side of the discharge opening; and the velocity reducing portion is disposed so as to surround the electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20120316893
    Abstract: For a revisit patient, a first terminal reads a patient identification card. The first terminal reads a health insurance card if it is required, and compares health insurance card data with reference data. If there is a difference, the first terminal prompts the user to go to a window for verification of the health insurance card. A second terminal displays a different part of the health insurance card data that is different from the reference data, and receives an input of data corresponding to the different part. The data input via the second terminal is registered in health insurance card database. A third terminal obtains a patient list and displays the list so that the patient is visually different from another patient.

  • Patent number: 7670498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coolant composition for fuel cell coolant, comprised of sulfur containing alcohol or sulfur containing phenol having at least one sulfur atom per molecule, which effectively prevents increase of electric conductivity due to oxidation of its base component for a long time. The coolant composition when diluted with water to a predetermined concentration effectively suppresses increase of electric conductivity of the coolant and maintain fluctuation of electric conductivity within the range from 0 to 10 ?S/cm so that power generation efficiency of the fuel cell may not be lowered.
