  • Patent number: 11705098
    Abstract: The sound absorbing material according to the present invention is formed by laminating a porous sound absorber and two or more sheets of a nonwoven fabric one on another. The nonwoven fabric has a plurality of drawn filaments arranged and oriented in one direction. The mode value of the diameter distribution of the plurality of filaments is in the range of 1 to 4 ?m. The grammage of the nonwoven fabric is in the range of 5 to 40 g/m2. The sound absorbing material according to the present invention provides high sound absorption performance in a predetermined low frequency band of 6000 Hz or less, and still remains light in weight and flexible enough and easy enough to handle to be substantially comparable to the porous sound absorber.

  • Patent number: 7993467
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided to remove matte-sticking adhered to an inner surface of an inclined rear jacket of an exhaust gas hood for collecting exhaust gas discharged during the converter operation in copper smelting. Scraping means 10a˜10f are each provided with a scraping part 20 for scraping off matte-sticking by moving slidably across the inner surface of the rear jacket 8 by driving means 11 from a sidewall of the exhaust gas hood to at least over the centerline L of the width of the rear jacket 8. The scraping means are arranged in pairs at both right and left sidewalls of the exhaust gas hood 6 in multiple levels along the inclination of the rear jacket 8, thereby allowing the matte-sticking adhered to the rear jacket 8 to be removed over almost its entire surface.
