  • Patent number: 6756593
    Abstract: A flame sensor comprises a filter which blocks light in an infrared ray region, a filter which blocks stray light, a narrow band filter which passes only light of a band corresponding to a line spectrum of carbonic acid gas resonance radiation generated by a flame, and a broad band filter which passes light of a band which is broader than the band corresponding to the line spectrum, and a plurality of light reception elements which convert lights passing through the narrow and broad band filters to electric signals, the flame sensor judging flame when a difference between intensities of the electric signals is equal to or more than a predetermined value and a ratio between the intensities of the electric signals is within a predetermined range, by assuming that transmission band widths of the narrow and broad band filters are equal, is provided.

  • Patent number: 6677590
    Abstract: A flame sensor capable of being easily produced and accurately detecting a flame includes a broadband filter having a transmission band inclusive of a line spectrum of resonance radiation of a carbonic acid gas, a narrowband filter permitting the passage of only the line spectrum of the resonance radiation of the carbonic acid gas and having its band center not coincident with that of the broadband filter, a light reception device, amplifiers, a circuit for computing the difference of mean intensities of spectrums transmitting through the filters and passing through the amplifiers, and a circuit for raising an alarm when the output of the computation circuit exceeds a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 6548165
    Abstract: A reinforcing tape for a slide fastener comprises a polyamide elastomer film manifesting a modulus of elasticity in bending in the range of 6,000 to 9,000 kg/cm2 and an adhesive layer. In a preferred embodiment, a polyester hot-melt adhesive is used for the adhesive layer. Preferably an intermediate layer having a thickness thinner than the thickness of the polyamide elastomer film and that of the adhesive layer is interposed between the polyamide elastomer film and the adhesive layer. In this case, a polyester anchor coat agent is used for the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 5728460
    Abstract: A slide fastener comprises a pair of dyed fastener tapes each having a row of coupling elements attached to the fastener tape along a longitudinal edge thereof and at least a pair of reinforcing tapes attached to a terminal part of each of the fastener tapes. The reinforcing tape comprising a transparent elastomer film and an adhesive layer superposed on the reverse side of the elastomer film is attached by welding or fusion bonding to the terminal part of the dyed fastener tape through the medium of the adhesive layer and has a knurled surface at the welded part.
