  • Publication number: 20210292674
    Abstract: Provided is an antioxidant capable of coating the surface layer of a coal deposit (coal pile) and further reducing the amount of oxygen permeation into the inside of the deposit. The present invention is an antioxidant for coal, containing an oil-in-water type resin emulsion having an average particle size of emulsion particles of 0.3 ?m or more and 1.0 ?m or less. The antioxidant preferably further contains a surfactant. The worker sprays the above antioxidant on the coal deposit. This forms a consolidated layer on the surface of the coal deposit that is highly effective in suppressing oxygen permeation. Therefore, the permeation of oxygen in the air atmosphere into the inside of the coal deposit is blocked, thus preventing the oxidation of the coal.

  • Publication number: 20210208727
    Abstract: When an application displays image straddling display units (110-1 and 110-2), a coordinate conversion unit (120) uses a predetermined operation to transform the physical coordinates indicating the position at which a display unit (110-1 or 110-2) senses contact to virtual coordinates and supplies the virtual coordinates. A coordinate notification unit (130) notifies an application (140) of the physical coordinates at which contact was sensed when the application is displaying the image on one of the display units (110-1 or 110-2) and notifies the application (140) of the virtual coordinates supplied by the coordinate conversion unit (120) when the one application is displaying the image straddling the display units (110-1 and 110-2).

  • Patent number: 8720318
    Abstract: An actuator is equipped with a cylinder body in the interior of which a piston is disposed for displacement therein. A piston rod connected to the piston projects outwardly to the exterior from an end of the cylinder body. A guide unit, having a guide body that is attached to the cylinder body, and a pair of guide rods, which are disposed displaceably with respect to the guide body, are disposed detachably on the cylinder body. Additionally, by mutually interconnecting the guide rods of the guide unit and the piston rod through a connecting plate, when the piston rod is displaced in an axial direction, the piston rod is guided by the pair of guide rods.

  • Patent number: 8708131
    Abstract: A stopper cylinder is equipped with a body having a drive unit, a piston mechanism being displaceable along an axial direction in the interior of a tube connected to the body, and a stopper lever connected to the piston mechanism for stopping conveyance of a workpiece. Displacement of the piston mechanism is restricted by an electromagnetic lock mechanism, which is disposed on the body and is excited by supply of electric power. After approaching the workpiece, by releasing a locked state of the electromagnetic lock mechanism, the piston mechanism is displaced to a position facing the workpiece by an elastic force of a spring.

  • Patent number: 8495924
    Abstract: In an electric actuator, a connector is coupled to one end of a screw shaft that makes up a displacement mechanism, the screw shaft being rotatably supported by first and second bearings. Further, on the other end of the screw shaft, a support ring is disposed through a holder, wherein the support ring is slidable along an inner circumferential surface of a piston rod. On the outer circumferential surface of a piston, a rotation-stopping member is provided, which includes projections thereon that project in a radial direction from the outer circumferential surface, the projections being inserted into grooves of said body.

  • Publication number: 20130135178
    Abstract: An information processing terminal includes display unit and control unit. The display unit includes a first screen and a second screen. The control unit displays a pair icon where a first application indication designating a first application and a second application indication designating a second application are arranged in a predetermined positional relationship on the first screen or the second screen. When the pair icon is designated by a user, the control unit activates the first application and the second application in an arrangement according to the positional relationship between the first application indication and the second application indication on the first screen and the second screen, respectively.
