Abstract: A pump for carrying supercritical CO2 fluid or liquid CO2 capable of securing reliability by optimizing a bearing part. An angular ball bearing (8) comprises an inner ring (8a), an outer ring (8b), balls (8c) held therebetween, and a cage (8d) holding the balls (8c). Both the balls and the inner and outer rings are formed of a ceramic to form a totally ceramic bearing. Also, the cage (8d) is guided by the outer ring or the inner ring. Specifically, for example, when the cage is guided by the inner ring, the inner peripheral surface (8db) of the cage (8d) opposed to the outermost peripheral surface (8ab) of the inner ring (8a) is guided by the outermost peripheral surface (8ab) of the inner ring (8a).

Abstract: A radioactive-material container includes a container body that shields nuclear radiation, which includes a cavity that stores a basket containing a recycle fuel assembly, a lid that covers the cavity, and a metal gasket that includes a sealing area that makes a physical contact with the container body and the lid. The sealing area has a specific shape that disperses tightening stress acting on the metal gasket for a sealing.

Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor (K1-K3) with an open circuit mode mechanism, comprises: a metallic casing (32; 52; 62) for accommodating a capacitor element (31; 51; 61); an upper lid (33; 53; 63) which is mounted on a mouth of the metallic casing; a pair of metallic rivets (35; 54; 65) which are secured to the upper lid; a pair of external connection terminals (39; 55; 70) each of which is connected to one end portion of each of the metallic rivets; and a fixing member (40; 56; 71) which is molded by resin and is formed with a pair of through-holes (41; 57; 72) each for passing the other end portion of each of the metallic rivets therethrough such that the other end of each of the metallic rivets projecting out of the fixing member is connected, by metallic junction, to each of a pair of lead-out lead plates (42; 58; 73) drawn from the capacitor element.

Abstract: In a vacuum housing (1), an inner duct (17) is disposed. Quadrupole magnets (superconducting coils) (4) is placed around the inner duct (17) is excited by a DC power supply (10). Quadrupole magnets (4) are cooled by liquid helium contained in a helium housing and outer tubes (2, 3) and is brought into a superconducting state. Pulverized coal X is ejected together with air Y from a header (11) through piping (12) and a valve (13) to a baffle plate (14). Pulverized coal is made to fall into the inner duct (3). Paramagnetic materials such as ash are attracted by magnetic force to the tube and are then collected by a collection tube (26). Combustible diamagnetic materials are collected by a combustible collecting tube (18) extending in the central axis. Intermediate materials are collected by an intermediate collection tube (23) and are put back to the head (11) through a bypass tube (25). There are no mechanical parts in the inner duct (3). Consequently, rotation loss and eddy-current heating are prevented.

Abstract: A noble solid electrolyte fuel cell includes a generating layer (5), an interconnector layer (9), and a support layer (10) disposed between the generating and interconnector layers. The interconnector layer comprises a fuel electrode (6), an interconnector material (7) and an oxygen electrode (8). The support layer (10) forms a fuel passage and an oxidizer passage, and supporting rods (15, 102) for gas sealing are disposed at both ends of the support layer. A sealing film (110) is cemented to the contact surfaces of the supporting rods (15, 102) between the generating layer and the interconnector layer, and this sealing film becomes soft or half melted during the operation of the fuel cell. This construction provides improved cell performances due to better sealing of gases even under large temperature differences. The use of finer particles near the surface of the solid electrolyte only is also disclosed.

Abstract: This invention provides a drawing machine for pinching and stretching a film-like material of the type having rails installed extending from an inlet section to the outlet section and returning in the opposite direction from the outlet section back to the inlet section of the drawing machine. There is a clip propelling unit moving on the rails for pinching and stretching the film-like material, and elements for generating mutually repelling magnetic fields between the rails and clips, whereby the clips are movable in the non-contact state while floating from the rail guide surfaces. Thus, no foreign substances are generated, cleanliness of products is enhanced, no noise is generated, the work environment is improved, energy is saved, and highspeed operation is attained.
