Abstract: In an insulation inspection apparatus configured to perform insulation inspection of a wiring pattern, when a voltage for performing the insulation inspection is applied between inspection objects, a current control unit controls a first current to be greater than a second current, the first current being supplied until the potential difference between the first inspection part and the second inspection part reaches the predetermine potential difference, the second current being supplied when the predetermined potential difference is reached.

Abstract: An insulation inspection technique for allowing the occurrence of sparks to be detected more satisfactorily and allowing a board in which sparks have occurred to be more satisfactorily detected as being detective is provided. An insulation inspection apparatus detects a voltage induced between insulation inspection target wiring patterns by the application of a voltage during a time period from the start of the voltage application between the insulation inspection target wiring patterns to a predetermined time when the voltage between the insulation inspection target wiring patterns has stabilized. When a voltage drop due to sparks occurring between the insulation inspection target wiring patterns is detected during the time period, the board to be inspected is determined to be defective. In particular, supply current during the time period is set in accordance with the number of inspection points of an upstream wiring pattern of the insulation inspection target wiring patterns.

Abstract: A leading end located in a two-stage entrained-flow bed coal gasifier has a double-walled structure including an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, and cooling water for cooling the leading end is supplied through an interior of the inner cylinder to cool the leading end and is then returned to a base end through a space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. The space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder has a smaller channel area than the interior of the inner cylinder, and a swirling flow along a guide formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder and a substantially linear flow in a longitudinal direction of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are applied to the cooling water returned to the base end through the space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

Abstract: A circuit board testing apparatus detects sparking and partial discharge between wiring patterns on a circuit board to determine if the circuit board is defective. A constant current source feeds a constant current to a wiring pattern to be tested. A voltage measurement part measures the resulting voltage at the wiring pattern. A normal state voltage gradient calculation part calculates a voltage gradient in a normal state where there is no sparking or partial discharge. A determination part determines whether the voltage gradient remains invariant, by comparing voltage measurement results within a predetermined range with an estimated value of the voltage based on the voltage gradient in the normal state. The determination part determines whether a circuit board is defective, on the basis of whether the voltage gradient remains invariant.

Abstract: A burner for a reaction furnace (12) including a fuel tube (2), an oxidizer tube (3) covering an outer periphery of the fuel tube, and a displacement absorbing member (7) provided on at least a part of the oxidizer tube. The fuel tube and the oxidizer tube have a proximal end fixed to a side wall of the reaction furnace and penetrating an outer vessel (11). The oxidizer tube is positioned with respect to the side wall of the inner vessel to suppress a length of a distal end of each of the oxidizer tube and the fuel tube projecting to an inside of the gasification furnace (10). Thermal stretching in an axial direction of the oxidizer tube is absorbed by the displacement absorbing member attached to the oxidizer tube.

Abstract: It is possible to prevent a phenomenon by which the wall temperature of an outer cylinder rises abruptly as a layer of steam covers the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder and therefore decreases the heat transfer coefficient thereof, thus preventing a heat damage to the outer cylinder. Also prevented is burnout of the burner resulting from insufficient cooling due to variations in cooling efficiency at a leading end of the burner. A leading end located in a two-stage entrained-flow bed coal gasifier has a double-walled structure including an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, and cooling water for cooling the leading end is supplied through an interior of the inner cylinder to cool the leading end and is then returned to a base end through a space formed between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

Abstract: To improve reliability of a bus interface by restraining fluctuation in characteristics of an input circuit, such as threshold voltage, temperature and power source voltage, when an input signal shifts from Hi level to Lo level, transistor MP3 is OFF until the input signal lowers to a logic threshold value; and, by comparing a reference voltage and an input signal the low level input voltage shifts to the level of the difference voltage. When the input signal shifts from Lo level to Hi level, transistor MP3 is ON until the input signal exceeds the logic threshold value, the High level input voltage is increased by the amount of current of transistor MP4. The current of transistor MP4 is proportional to the current of transistor MN1, and, therefore, the High level input voltage becomes constant, and is not influenced by the threshold voltage, the temperature of the transistor, and power source voltage.
