Abstract: The present invention provides a rare earth oxide-supported noble metal catalyst which has a high catalytic activity, is greatly improved in the ammonia production activity per weight of the catalyst and per amount of the supported metal, and enables the synthesis of ammonia under mild conditions. The catalyst according to the present invention is characterized in that ruthenium is supported in a layered form on a praseodymium oxide carrier. The catalyst according to the present invention can be produced by burning a praseodymium oxide precursor at a lower temperature, then at a medium temperature and then at a higher temperature to produce praseodymium oxide, then agitating the resultant praseodymium oxide together with a ruthenium supply source in a solvent, then removing the solvent from the mixture, and then burning the resultant product.

Abstract: Whether a bright state or a dark state is established is determined each time a motor is driven one step, based on a presence or absence of a passing of light through a detection hole disposed in a detection wheel that rotates associated with rotations of a hand wheel coupled with the motor. A switching position X is identified at which the dark state is switched to the bright state when the dark state is determined and thereafter the bright state is determined. A position one step after the identified switching position X is set to be a reference position X+1 of the hand wheel. The reference positions X+1 and X?1 can thereby be set after a driving mechanism is assembled.

Abstract: A bucket for a construction machine including a side plate (11); a bottom plate (12), at least a portion of which is connected to the side plate (11); and a laminated plate (20) that is attached to an outside of the side plate (11). At least a part (16) of the portion where the side plate (11) and the bottom plate (12) are connected on an inside of the side plate (11) and the bottom plate (12) is reinforced.

Abstract: A pressure-receiving face plate 29 is mounted on one end face of a piston 12, and a support member 26 is raised on the end face of the piston 12. Disposed on the support member 26 with an allowance are, from the pressure-receiving faceplate 29 respectively, a disk spring 27, a plate 25, and a plunger 28. A flange 26a prevents these members from slipping off the support member 26. When the piston 12 approaches a stroke end, the plunger 28 is inserted in an oil passage 20b and applies a cushioning effect to the piston 12. In addition, a gap between the pressure-receiving faceplate 29 and the plate 25 brought into contact with a cylinder bottom 17 becomes narrow, and produces a squeeze effect such that oil escapes from the narrow gap. This makes it possible to provide a hydraulic cylinder that produces a sufficient impact force at the stroke end of the piston and also reduces noise emitted by the impact force, without increasing a length of the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: Data is transmitted to a main control device via sensing means such as temperature sensors, each having a memory means in which the ID code is stored, and via transmitting/receiving means such as switching elements. There is a stand-by period in the operation of the main control device after the main control device issues a command to start a sensing operation until the main control device issues a command to perform a read operation. The main control device receives power through a signal line the voltage of which is kept at a high level during the stand-by period. Thus, an equipment sensing system and an equipment control device which enable reliable and quick sensing, cost reduction, smooth control, and simplified wiring are provided.
