  • Publication number: 20230194083
    Abstract: A waste processing system includes a pyrolysis apparatus that pyrolyzes a combustible waste, a melt-and-mold apparatus that generates an ingot of resin and combustible gas from a synthetic-resin waste, and an oil extraction apparatus that generates combustible oil and combustible gas from the ingot of resin. The melt-and-mold apparatus has a melter that melts the synthetic-resin waste using heat produced by the pyrolysis apparatus, the oil extraction apparatus has a pyrolyzer that pyrolyzes the ingot of resin using the heat produced by the pyrolysis apparatus, and at least one of the combustible gas generated at the melt-and-mold apparatus and the combustible gas generated at the oil extraction apparatus is supplied to the pyrolysis apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6271663
    Abstract: A rotation detector that detects rotational position with high precision. The rotation detector includes a rotor having a shaft. Projections are located at predetermined intervals on the periphery of the rotor and extend in an axial direction. The rotation detector further includes magnets and magnetism detecting elements respectively detecting magnetism of the magnets. At least one of the magnets and the detecting elements are arranged between the projections and the shaft at predetermined intervals.

  • Patent number: 5351387
    Abstract: This invention relates to a rotation sensor which detects the magnetic field which changes with the rotation of a rotary shaft, thereby to detect the amount of rotation of the rotary shaft. The rotation sensor of the present invention has the boundaries between magnetized regions set with high precision. The boundaries forms magnetic fields stably, whereby the detection of rotation is performed with high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 4698552
    Abstract: A light control apparatus for an automobile which does not employ an already completed variable resistor. A circuit substrate is provided with a terminal integrated with a resistor of a variable resistor. On the other hand, a casing containing the substrate is provided with a sliding terminal of a variable resistor. The casing is formed at its one end with an extended outer shell portion which together with the terminal serves as a connector.
