  • Publication number: 20240077553
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a cooling device for cooling a constituent element housed in a housing of a unit subjected to an influence of a generated magnetic field includes a water cooling mechanism and at least one air cooling mechanism. The water cooling mechanism cools the constituent element by cooling a cooling plate with a flow of water flowing through a pipe passing through the cooling plate arranged in the housing. The air cooling mechanism is arranged on an outgoing side where the flow of water flowing through the pipe is outgoing from the housing and cools the constituent element by discharging air in the housing along with the water flow in accordance with the water flow.

  • Patent number: 11852251
    Abstract: The cylinder body is affected by a rotational operation of the first operation part in such a manner that a rotational position of the cylinder body is changed while an axial position of the cylinder body is not changed, and is affected by a rotational operation of the second operation part in such a manner that the axial position of the cylinder body is changed while the rotational position of the cylinder body is not changed. A communication amount between the cold water supply channel and the cold water inlet hole, a communication amount between the hot water supply channel and the hot water inlet hole, and/or a communication amount between the mixed water outlet hole and the mixed water outlet channel are/is changed depending on the axial position and the rotational position of the cylinder body in order to achieve both a temperature regulation and a flow rate regulation.

  • Patent number: 10273667
    Abstract: A faucet apparatus includes a rotating operation unit that rotationally operates water spouting and shutting off operations, and a flow adjustment operation and a temperature adjustment operation of hot and cold water, an acceleration sensor that detects an attitude and a rotating movement of the rotating operation unit, and a control unit. The rotating operation unit moves without striding across a horizontal plane at a time of performing a rotating operation from a first operation position to a second operation position around a predetermined rotation axis in the water spouting state. The acceleration sensor is set in a state where a rotation axis at a time of rotating within a predetermined plane in response to the flow adjustment operation and temperature adjustment operation of the hot and cold water does not coincide with a gravity direction axis.

  • Patent number: 10134784
    Abstract: To eliminate electric discharge when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate used for manufacturing the semiconductor element, a substrate over which an element formation layer and a peeling layer are formed and a film are made to go through a gap between pressurization rollers. The film is attached to the element formation layer between the pressurization rollers, bent along a curved surface of the pressurization roller on a side of the pressurization rollers, and collected. Peeling is generated between the element formation layer and the peeling layer and the element formation layer is transferred to the film. Liquid is sequentially supplied by a nozzle to a gap between the element formation layer and the peeling layer, which is generated by peeling, so that electric charge generated on surfaces of the element formation layer and the peeling layer is diffused by the liquid.

  • Patent number: 9472429
    Abstract: An object is to suppress discharge due to static electricity generated by peeling, when an element formation layer including a semiconductor element is peeled from a substrate. Over the substrate, the release layer and the element formation layer are formed. The support base material which can be peeled later is fixed to the upper surface of the element formation layer. The element formation layer is transformed through the support base material, and peeling is generated at an interface between the element formation layer and the release layer. Peeling is performed while the liquid is being supplied so that the element formation layer and the release layer which appear sequentially by peeling are wetted with the liquid such as pure water. Electric charge generated on the surfaces of the element formation layer and the release layer can be diffused by the liquid, and discharge by peeling electrification can be eliminated.

  • Patent number: 9404530
    Abstract: A cross shaft joint includes a bearing cup, a cross shaft, and a joint yoke. The bearing cup includes a cylindrical portion in which an opening portion for receiving a shaft portion is formed in one end of the cylindrical portion in an axis direction, and a bottom portion that closes the other end of the cylindrical portion in the axis direction. The bearing cup is press-fitted into the fitting hole and supports the shaft portion through a rolling element so that the shaft portion is able to rotate. The bearing cup is fitted onto the shaft portion inside the fitting hole and holds the rolling element with the shaft portion. A diameter of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion is smaller on the opening portion side than the bottom portion side in a free state of the bearing cup before being press-fitted into the fitting hole.
