Patent number: 6675880Abstract: A high temperature air heater including a heat transfer conduit located in higher temperature gas. The heat transfer conduit is made up of a heat transfer pipe through which the air to be heated flows and a refractory protective pipe covering the heat transfer pipe. A clearance is provided between the heat transfer pipe and the refractory protective pipe. The clearance makes it possible to accommodate the differences in thermal expansion between the heat transfer pipe and the refractory protective pipe to prevent damaging the refractory protective pipe, thus extending the service life of the high temperature air heater.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2001Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignee: Mitsui Engineering and Shipbuilding Company LimitedInventors: Masao Namba, Kenzo Miura, Yoshitada Tomoyasu, Hidehiro Kiuchi, Yasuaki Harada, Teruo Urayama, Kazuo Shimamura, Norio Tezuka

Patent number: 4497198Abstract: A knocking sensor comprises a casing for receiving a pickup assembly including a transducer, which produces an electrical signal in accordance with engine vibrations, and a connector having at least a single pin electrically connected to the transducer. The casing comprises a threaded projection to be screwed in a screw hole of an engine, and a nut-like periphery to be rotated by a tool. The knocking sensor can be attached to the engine by means of an impact wrench, by rotating the nut-like portion. A plug connected to one end of a shielding code can be plugged in the connector to make an electrical connection between the transducer and a signal processing circuit after the knocking sensor has been attached to the engine, and therefore, the shielding code is prevented from being damaged during installation of the knocking sensor. The use of an impact wrench ensures secure attachment of the sensor, and reduces the installation time.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 1983Date of Patent: February 5, 1985Assignees: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Juhei Takahashi, Kenzo Miura, Shogo Asano, Kunio Sugiyama, Kiyokane Kaji, Jun Ohta
