  • Patent number: 7929858
    Abstract: An image-capturing element that receives light of a subject image entering within a camera body through an interchangeable photographic lens is packaged and is mounted at the camera body via a holder. A camera-side mounting surface and a holder-side mounting surface are machined in advance and formed respectively relative to the mounting surface for the photographic lens formed at the camera body and the light-receiving surface of the image-capturing element. By mounting the image-capturing apparatus with the camera-side mounting surface and the holder-side mounting surface placed in contact with each other at the camera body using screws, the light-receiving surface is aligned with the image-forming position of the photographic lens.

  • Patent number: 6057471
    Abstract: An ammoxidation method in a fluidized-bed reactor, in which, when a starting material to be ammoxidized is ammoxidized by means of vapor-phase catalytic fluidized-bed reaction, the reaction is carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor to which an oxygen-containing gas is fed through feed openings provided at the bottom thereof, and a starting material to be ammoxidized is fed through feed openings provided above the feed openings for the oxygen-containing gas, the distance between the feed openings for the oxygen-containing gas and those for the starting material being from 30 to 250% of the height of a fluidized solid matter in a static state so as to form such a fluidized bed that the density of the fluidized solid matter at the feed openings for the starting material to be ammoxidized is in the range of 50 to 300 kg/m.sup.3 and that the gas velocity is 1 m/s or lower.

  • Patent number: 5773659
    Abstract: To develop a zeolite catalyst which can prevent the drastic lowering of dimethylamine selectivity to be caused in the production of dimethylamine using a zeolite catalyst when the conversion of methanol is high, and which can give higher dimethylamine selectivity and lower trimethylamine selectivity as well as higher methanol-consuming reaction activity; and to provide a process for producing dimethylamine with high selectivity, using the catalyst.A process for producing dimethylamine by allowing methanol, or methanol and a methylamine mixture, or a methylamine mixture to react with ammonia in the gaseous phase in the presence of a catalyst, characterized in that a modified zeolite prepared by treating a zeolite with a solution containing a chelating agent is used as the catalyst.
