  • Patent number: 11034444
    Abstract: A flight management system that manages flight conditions of a plurality of flying objects and that causes the flying objects to work together in a coordinated manner to accomplish a purpose. The flight management system includes a flight management apparatus that receives instruction information, that registers a job, and that based on the job, gives a motion instruction to one or more flying objects. The flight management system includes also a job generator that generates a job, and a motion instructor that gives a motion instruction to the flying object. The job generator includes a search system that retrieves a work-performing flying object, a route setter that derives a flight route for the work-performing flying object, a time calculator that calculates a work time, and a registering system that registers a generated job.

  • Patent number: 6841138
    Abstract: A system for reducing the temperature of exhaust gas in an incinerator or boiler equipment having an exceedingly small size and avoiding any difficulties caused by damage to the wall surface of a gas cooling chamber due to adherence of sprayed water droplets and deposition of dust. More specifically, pressurized thermal water with a temperature higher than a boiling point of water under atmospheric pressure is sprayed as temperature reduction water into high temperature exhaust gas Gh in a gas cooling chamber or an exhaust gas duct. The temperature reduction of exhaust gas and the removal of acidic gas in the exhaust gas are simultaneously achieved by spraying pressurized thermal water Wt containing an alkaline solution as temperature reduction water into high temperature exhaust gas Gh in the gas cooling chamber or the exhaust gas duct.

  • Patent number: 4765284
    Abstract: A cooling control apparatus for an automobile engine having a radiator and two or more electrically operated fans for circulating air through the radiator. Each fan is operated in response to a different predetermined temperature of the cooling water in the radiator so that first one fan is activated under normal operation and the second fan is operated only under heavier loads or high ambient conditions requiring additional cooling. In one embodiment a fan is operated upon activation of the air-conditioning system to cool its condenser regardless of the cooling water temperature.
