Publication number: 20240009833Abstract: A loading and unloading system includes: a robot including a robot arm; an automated guided vehicle on which the robot is mounted, the automated guided vehicle including a travel driving unit; transport conveyors; a robot controller that controls an operation of the robot arm 41 and supplies driving electric power to the robot arm; and a connector that receives electric power from outside of the loading and unloading system. The automated guided vehicle further includes: a transport controller that controls driving of the travel driving unit and the transport conveyors; and a battery that supplies electric power to the transport controller. The transport controller and the robot controller cooperate with each other to cause the transport conveyors to interlock with the robot arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: NAKANISHI METAL WORKS CO., LTD.Inventors: Masayoshi HOSHI, Hideaki MIZUTANI

Publication number: 20090255373Abstract: A method for manufacturing noble metal fine particles, by which noble metal fine particles are obtained whose particle diameter and alloy composition are easy to control and whose crystallinity and purity are high, is provided. The method includes the steps of: (1) obtaining a molten mixture containing a noble metal chloride, by insufflating chlorine gas into a mixture of a molten salt of an alkali metal chloride and a noble metal; (2) obtaining a noble metal oxide as a precipitate by adding an alkali metal carbonate to the molten mixture under an inert gas atmosphere; (3) obtaining a mixture containing noble metal oxide fine particles, by pulverizing the noble metal oxide with at least one of an alkali metal carbonate and an alkali earth metal carbonate; and (4) obtaining noble metal fine particles by heating the mixture obtained in step (3) under an atmosphere of gas containing hydrogen, and then treating the heat-treated mixture with acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2009Publication date: October 15, 2009Applicant: YAMAMOTO PRECIOUS METAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Tsutomu Yamamura, Masayoshi Hoshi, Taro Morimoto, Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, Kazuharu Iwasaki
