Abstract: A diaphragm valve includes a body (3) having a flow path (2), a seat (4) formed in the flow path (2), a metal diaphragm (5) for opening and closing the flow path (2), a pair of clamping parts (6) and (7) for claiming peripheral edge portions of the metal diaphragm (5) to fix the metal diaphragm (5) to the body (3), and an actuator (8) for abutting the metal diaphragm (5) to the seat (4) or separating the metal diaphragm from the seat (4), wherein a fluorine resin coating is formed on a seat side surface (5a) of the metal diaphragm (5) at least in a contact region (B-A) with the seat (4) in a region (C) surrounded by a clamping region (D-C) between the seat side surface (5a) and one of the pair of clamping portions (6, 7), excluding the clamping region (D-C).

Abstract: A transfer robot includes a first arm provided rotatably around a first axis which extends along a vertical direction, a second arm connected to the first arm rotatably around a second axis which extends along the vertical direction, an arm distal end portion which is configured to be connected to a workpiece holder to hold a workpiece and which is connected to the second arm rotatably around a third axis which extends along the vertical direction, and a posture adjuster configured to rotate the workpiece around a first posture adjustment axis which intersects both the third axis and a direction extending toward the arm distal end portion away from the third axis.

Abstract: This gas turbine equipment comprises a gas turbine and a control device. A combustor of the gas turbine uses ammonia as fuel, and uses the RQL method. A compressor of the gas turbine includes an intake adjustor that adjusts an intake rate which is the flow rate of air that flows into a compressor casing. When the concentration of NOx in exhaust gas reaches or exceeds a predetermined value, the control device controls the operation of the intake adjustor so that the intake rate decreases.

Abstract: The flow rate control device 10 includes a control valve 11, a restriction part 12 provided downstream of the control valve 11, an upstream pressure sensor 13 for measuring a pressure P1 between the control valve 11 and the restriction part 12, a differential pressure sensor 20 for measuring a differential pressure ?P between the upstream and the downstream of the restriction part 12, and an arithmetic control circuit 16 connected to the control valve 11, the upstream pressure sensor 13, and the differential pressure sensor 20.

Abstract: An eardrum perforation patch and an eardrum undersurface scraper for application of the patch. The eardrum perforation patch comprises double plates connected together with a coupler and these elements are made of artificial material. The plates comprise a supporting piece and a closure piece. After being inserted into the tympanic perforation the closure piece pinches the perforation margin and it stays steadily in place until it changes to a new part of the tympanic membrane. The eardrum undersurface scraper comprises a shaft, a neck and a head with a blade edge. The neck is curved at an angle of more than 90 degrees, twisted and rotated, so that the blade edge gains access to target points behind the tympanic membrane and scrapes and entirely rakes out the mucosal barrier on the undersurface grafting bed of the tympanic membrane through the tympanic perforation. The combination of the eardrum perforation patch and the eardrum undersurface scraper is useful in repairing the tympanic perforation.

Abstract: A movable-piece type of rheometer having a sensing member that can measure a fluid or viscoelastic material which moves relative to the sensing member, by a control of the sensing member to a position or movement desired in a non-contact manner. The rheometer uses magnetic force through a servomechanism instead of a mechanical support structure. This rheometer is useful in fields such as biorheological and rheological studies, and rheological examination, usage and production.
