Abstract: A power conversion apparatus and a power conversion method are provided. The power conversion apparatus includes a rectifier configured to convert AC power to DC power, a smoothing filter configured to control the DC power received from the rectifier to be constant, an inverter configured to convert the DC power received from the smoothing filter into high-frequency power by turning the DC power on and off using a switching device, and a control unit configured to control the rectifier and the inverter. A rating of output power from the inverter is determined in accordance with a frequency of the high-frequency power output from the inverter, a current-applying time, and an operation rate obtained by dividing the current-applying time by a sum of the current-applying time and a non-current-applying time.

Abstract: A production method of an edible sustained-release functional material that has a high effect of preventing oozing of oil at the time of production, and that can inexpensively perform production, even by using fat and oil other than fish oil and continuously performing pulverization at ordinary temperature; and the edible sustained-release functional material. An edible sustained-release functional material is produced by: preparing an emulsified raw material by emulsifying fat and oil containing a hydrophobic functional ingredient; stirring and mixing the emulsified raw material, gelatin, transglutaminase, and dextrin having a DE value of 8 to 21; then forming a gel by leaving the mixture to rest; and after freeze-drying the gel, performing pulverization for powderization. An emulsifier or ammonium salt may be further added at the time of stirring and mixing.

Abstract: A secondary coil forming a resonant circuit in cooperation with a quadrupole is composed of conductive tubes and cooled by feeding coolant such as pure water into the tubes which serve as coolant passages. This makes it possible to minimize thermal deformation of the secondary coil when a variable-frequency type radio-frequency quadrupole accelerator is driven with a large amount of power. As a result, variation of the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit, resulting from the deformation of the secondary coil, can be minimized. Consequently, a given ion acceleration ability can be provided. When a coolant passage for use in cooling the primary coil is included and coolant such as pure water is fed into the coolant passage, thermal deformation of the primary coil can be minimized. Thus, impedance matching with the resonant circuit can be maintained on a stable basis.

Abstract: A tableware drying machine, comprising a drying tank accommodated in a drying machine housing and a container frame for receiving a tableware container, the frame being connected with a motor means installed in the drying tank and rotated at high speed, and the container containing tableware such as a spoon which has been washed with hot water, wherein the container frame is rotated at high speed to dry the tableware by means of centrifugal force, and a forced air stream is generated such that the container frame and container rotating at high speed function themselves as a centrifugal fan that takes in air through air intake holes provided in an opening-and-closing lid of the drying tank, directs the air towards the center of the drying tank, and discharges the air through outlet openings provided in the upper periphery of the drying tank to make the air entrain moisture in the tank.
