Abstract: According to one embodiment, a fuel-cell power generation system includes a fuel cell that generates electricity by electrochemical reaction using fuel and an oxidizer and a resin module that includes a flow path through which fuel, air, or water flows, inner walls defining the flow path being made of resin.

Abstract: A conveyor apparatus is provided that is free of a pulsing motion in the circulating chains so as to provide a comfortable ride quality on its steps. The conveyor apparatus includes a step guide rail, a plurality of steps, a step chain, and a chain driving mechanism for driving the step chain. The chain driving mechanism includes a rotating and driving unit, a driving sprocket which is rotated by a driving force given by the rotating and driving unit, and a circulating chain for giving a thrust to the step chain. The circulating chain has chain links and hinges that are to be connected to the adjacent chain links. The chain link includes a placing surface on which the step roller is placed, and pressing surfaces that are in contact with step rollers.

Abstract: There is provided a conveyor apparatus free of pulsing motion in circulating chains to provide a comfortable ride quality on steps. A conveyor apparatus 1 includes a step guide rail 3, a plurality of steps 5, a step chain 4, and a chain driving mechanism 10 for driving the step chain 4. The chain driving mechanism 10 includes a rotating and driving unit 11, a driving sprocket 12 which is rotated by a driving force given by the rotating and driving unit 11, and circulating chain 13 for giving a thrust to the step chain 4. The circulating chain 13 has chain links 13a and hinges 13b to be connected to the adjacent chain links 13a. The chain link 13a includes a placing surface 13c on which the step roller 4b is placed, and pressing surfaces 13d and 13d that are in contact with step rollers 4b.

Abstract: To provide an electric rolling stock driving apparatus allowing for an enhanced reliability of rolling stock system, a main motor 14 for driving an electric rolling stock, a VVVF inverter 13 for driving the main motor, and a brake controller 12 for controlling braking forces of wheels 16 are provided within a driving truck 9, allowing for an improvement in reliability of a rolling stock system that otherwise might have deficiencies such as an increased rolling stock manufacture term or an increased trouble restoration time by a complicated implementation of wiring due to an arrangement according to a relevant art in which, for driving a rolling stock, associated apparatuses are separately mounted to a car body and a truck.

Abstract: A controller-integrated motor includes a motor main body and a controller integrated with the motor main body to control the motor main body, the motor main body, including a stator core, a shaft which rotates to exert driving force on the motor main body, a frame which holds the stator core and the shaft, and an outer fan provided around the shaft so that the motor main body is recessed inward toward a rotational center of the shaft, the outer fan discharging cooling air stream to cool the motor main body, the controller being provided in proximity to an outer periphery of the frame, the motor main body being formed so that a cooling air stream from the outer fan flows in an axial direction of the shaft along an outer peripheral surface of the frame.

Abstract: The main body of a rotary electrical machine is accommodated in a frame (1). A circulatory device (5) is provided that is rotated by a rotor (3) of said rotary electrical machine, in which there is accommodated cooling liquid (7) that cools at least the main body of the rotary electrical machine. The circulatory device (5) circulates said cooling liquid (7) to outside of the frame (1) by pump action. The cooling liquid (7) is accumulated by a reserve tank before being circulated within the frame (1). After the heated cooling liquid (7) is cooled in the reserve tank, this accumulated cooling liquid (7) is then caused to flow back into the frame (1) by the pressure difference.

Abstract: An elevator door unit includes cage doors, a cage door lock unit, hall doors, and a lock release unit. The cage doors are provided in a cage which moves in a shaft. The cage door lock unit limits and locks the opening width of the cage doors to the width not to permit passing of passengers. The hall doors are provided in a landing hall, and opened interlocking with the cage doors, when the cage stops in a range of facing to the cage doors. The lock release unit releases the cage door lock unit within the opening width by opening the cage doors by manual operation, when the cage stops in a range that the cage doors face to the hall doors.

Abstract: A car door apparatus of an elevator includes a pair of door panels, a door drive device, and a door-opening mechanism. The pair of door panels open and close a doorway of the car of the elevator. The door drive device drives the door panels to open and close the doorway using electric power. When the car is stopped in an emergency in which a power source for driving the elevator is shut off, the door-opening mechanism starts up the door drive device using a secondary battery to move the door panels in the opening direction by a predetermined distance respectively to make a predetermined clearance between the door panels.
