  • Patent number: 10893552
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for establishing a connection path by way of a wireless LAN path of a projector and a wireless LAN terminal even when the operating mode is switched. The method establishes a wireless LAN connection between a wireless LAN terminal and a projector that can operate as an access point apparatus or a client apparatus of a wireless LAN. The projector projects connection information that indicates SSID, the wireless LAN terminal receives the connection information as input by way of a provided input unit, and further, operates as an access point apparatus. The projector detects the wireless LAN terminal that is operating as an access point device by means of a site survey, and the projector then connects to the wireless LAN terminal as a client apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7205429
    Abstract: This invention is providing a method for efficient treatment of the waste material from a process for production of acrylic acid and an acrylic ester. This is a method for the disposal of waste material, which at least one waste material selected from the group consisting of waste oil, waste water, and waste gas emitted from a process for production of acrylic acid is/are purified with at least one waste material selected from the group consisting of waste oil, waste water, and waste gas emitted from a process for production of an acrylic ester jointly. The efficiency of the treatment is enhanced by simultaneously treating the waste material.

  • Patent number: 7109372
    Abstract: A method is disclosed which produces acrylic acid in a high yield as maintaining the conditions for purifying acrylic acid in constant ranges and preventing the acrylic acid from polymerization. By using single a single reactor, propylene concentration adjusting in the range of 7–15 vol. % and water concentration adjusting in the range of 0–10 vol. % are introduced thereinto thereby obtaining an acrylic acid-containing gas. Then the gas is introduced to an acrylic acid absorption column to adjust water concentration in the range of 1–45 wt. %, thereby preventing from polymerization.
