  • Publication number: 20020182095
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a multi-cylinder rotary compressor which can enhance the reliability by improving the compression efficiency/mechanical efficiency. The bearings are fixed on the inner wall of the closed container, the cylinders are fixed to the bearings, and a gap is formed between the respective cylinders and the inner wall of the closed container. The design with the relatively large internal volume of the closed container is possible, and the reliability can be enhanced. Further, improvement in the compression efficiency and the mechanical efficiency can be achieved with the compact multi-cylinder rotary compression element.

  • Patent number: 5769251
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for controlling the operation of a reach tower crane, in which a horizontal boom can safely and securely be operated or stored by one operator in the cab, and in which even if sensors are out of order, the stability of the crane can be secured. The system has a plurality of sensors for detecting a condition of an actuator (6) actuating an apparatus to operate or store a horizontal boom (5), a controller (36) for sending a control signal based on signals from the sensors, and hydraulic apparatuses for controlling various actuators in accordance with the control signal. Further, an operation lever and an operation switch are used to extend or store the horizontal boom (5).
