  • Publication number: 20100050648
    Abstract: An object of this invention is to accelerate further mixing of a fuel and air independently of a flow rate of the fuel. A gas turbine combustor comprises: a fuel nozzle for blowing out a gas fuel; an air nozzle plate with an air nozzle for jetting out the fuel and air into a combustion chamber after the blowout of the fuel from the fuel nozzle; and an obstacle formed inside the air nozzle; wherein the obstacle causes a collision of the fuel jet blown out from the fuel nozzle, and hence causes turbulence in an airflow streaming into the air nozzle. According to the invention, mixing between the fuel and the air can be further accelerated independently of the flow rate of the fuel.

  • Patent number: 7458970
    Abstract: The heating treatment device according to the present invention is constituted by a coagulation and incision forceps having a plurality of built-in heating elements, and a device main unit. A forceps identifying section inside the device main unit recognizes the identification of the type of forceps by an identifier, and information for the individual heating elements, and supplies the same to a temperature control and correction section. The temperature control and correction section reads out from a memory the resistance values for controlling required for the respective set temperatures for the respective heating elements, on the basis of this information. A heating setting section sets a resistance value for controlling for the set temperature level, from these resistance values for controlling. The resistance value detecting section calculates the resistance value for the heating elements from the measurement results of an applied power detecting section.

  • Patent number: 7280034
    Abstract: It is possible to start engine economically and easily without deteriorating the theft prevention function even when an engine start key is lost. A vehicle theft prevention system includes permission tools (5C, 5D) for permitting rewrite or write-in of an ID code. The system has a start key registration function for corresponding the ID code of an engine key (5) to the ID code of an immobilizer control section (17), so that the engine key (5) functions as an engine start key (5A, 5B) when the ID code of the permission tools (5C, 5D) is correlated with the ID code recorded in the immobilizer control section (17) and matching is established. Accordingly, when the engine start key is lost or the like, a new engine start key is created for starting the engine economically and easily without requiring replacement of the entire theft prevention device.
