  • Patent number: 9810120
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system includes: a NOx trapping agent (2) which adsorbs nitrogen oxide when an excess air ratio of exhaust gas is more than 1, and releases nitrogen oxide when the excess air ratio is 1 or less; a NOx purifying catalyst (13) which reduces nitrogen oxide to nitrogen; and an oxygen concentration controller which controls oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas. When the excess air ratio of the exhaust gas is more than 1, nitrogen oxide is adsorbed to the NOx trapping agent (2). When the excess air ratio of the exhaust gas is 1 or less, the oxygen concentration controller controls the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas at an inlet of the NOx purifying catalyst between 0.8 and 1.5% by volume, so that the NOx purifying catalyst reduces nitrogen oxide released from the NOx trapping agent.

  • Patent number: 9731526
    Abstract: In a printer that performs printing on a label of a continuous paper while feeding the continuous paper unwound from a paper sheet supply unit, a platen roller portion is configured to be attachable and detachable only by operating an operating lever portion of an attaching and detaching operation portion. The attaching and detaching operation portion has its shaft fixed in a rotatable state between a bearing ring and a platen main body on one side in an axial direction of the platen roller portion. Pulling the operating lever portion of the attaching and detaching operation portion releases a locked state of the attaching and detaching operation portion itself and a locked state in the axial direction of the platen roller portion.

  • Patent number: 8671662
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purifying system (100) includes: a NOx purifying catalyst (34) that is disposed in an exhaust gas flow path (3) to purify nitrogen oxide; and an HC generator (33, 133) that is disposed upstream of the NOx purifying catalyst (34) in the exhaust gas flow path (3) to generate at least one of acetylene, a hydrocarbon with a carbon number of 2 to 5 other than acetylene, and an aromatic hydrocarbon from a hydrocarbon contained in an exhaust gas. In addition, an exhaust gas purifying method using the exhaust gas purifying system includes the step of adjusting an oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas supplied to the HC generation catalyst (33A, 133A) to 0.8 to 1.5 vol % when an air-fuel ratio is stoichiometric or rich.
