  • Publication number: 20130079269
    Abstract: The disclosed device and method produce high concentration ozonated water by connecting a high concentration ozone gas-supplying system that comprises an ozone gas-generating unit (1) for forming ozone gas, an ozone gas-concentrating unit (2) for concentrating the ozone gas formed, a concentrated ozone gas-pressurizing unit (3) for pressurizing the concentrated ozone gas output from the ozone gas-concentrating unit (2), and a cooling mechanism (13) for cooling the concentrated ozone gas-pressurizing unit (3), to an ozone gas-dissolving unit (4) to dissolve the high pressure, concentrated ozone gas in pure water and produce the high concentration ozonated water.

  • Patent number: 8404022
    Abstract: A method of concentrating ozone gas in which, although the apparatus configuration is simple, ozone gas of a predetermined concentration can be efficiently taken out, and an apparatus therefor are provided. In a method of concentrating ozone gas in which an ozone-oxygen mixture gas is acted in an adsorbing column that is filled with an adsorbent, to cause the adsorbent to selectively adsorb the ozone gas, and the selectively adsorbed ozone gas is desorbed, thereby concentrating and purifying the ozone gas, the ozone-oxygen mixture gas is acted on the adsorbent in a non-cooled state to cause the ozone gas to be selectively adsorbed to the adsorbent, the adsorbing column is vacuumed when performing an operation desorbing of the ozone gas, thereby desorbing the ozone gas from the adsorbent, and an initial amount of the leading out of the desorbed ozone gas is not recovered, thereby obtaining high-concentration ozone gas.

  • Patent number: 8012241
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for condensing ozone arranged so as to efficiently take out the ozone gas of a predetermined concentration, although its construction is simple. The method for condensing the ozone gas comprises acting ozone-oxygen mixture gas on an adsorbing cylinder which is filled in its interior area with an adsorbent so as to selectively adsorb the ozone gas to an adsorbent and desorbing the selectively adsorbed ozone gas so as to condense and purify the ozone gas. The method further includes acting the ozone-oxygen mixture gas on the adsorbent in non-cooled state to selectively adsorb the ozone gas to the adsorbent and vacuuming the adsorbing cylinder on performing desorption-operation of the ozone gas to desorb the ozone gas from the adsorbent.

  • Patent number: 6675232
    Abstract: When manufacturing several types of player having different functions, as many components as possible are used in common to all the types of player so that the production cost is reduced. A main control circuit, including a flash ROM, and other common circuits are mounted on a main board. No programs are written in the flash ROM in the state where the player to be produced is not yet specified. In the manufacturing process for one of a cassette tape player, a CD player and an MD player, a corresponding one is selected from among drive mechanisms for those various players, a corresponding one is selected from among front panels, and a program for operating the selected drive mechanism and front panel in an adapted manner is written into the flash ROM. The selected drive mechanism, the selected front panel and the main board are attached to a main chassis.

  • Patent number: 6033490
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes a quartz substrate having a z-cut plane of (0001) plane on a surface, a GaN film is first deposited on the surface. Finally, the quartz substrate is removed from the GaN film. The removed GaN film is used as a real substrate for forming GaN based compound semiconductor layers thereon.

  • Patent number: 5914998
    Abstract: A method of generating an X-ray microbeam of the present invention generates an X-ray microbeam having a restricted divergence angle and desirable planeness in regions other than the focus. With this method, it is possible to compensate for a change in the degree of asymmetry ascriable to a change in the wavelength of X-rays selected, and therefore to maintain the degree of asymmetry constant. In addition, the condensing conditions including the energy of X-rays and beam size each can be set independently of the others. A device for practicing the above method is also disclosed.
