Abstract: A VOXEL model generating unit generates a VOXEL model of an analysis object, and an inertia principal axes computing unit computes a center of gravity and principal axes of inertia. A three-dimensional CAD data rotating unit rotates the VOXEL model around one axis of the principal axes of inertia to generate the rotated VOXEL models, thereby finding the VOXEL model with the least volume error between an actual volume Vc of an analysis object calculated for a three-dimensional CAD model and a volume Vv of the VOXEL model. The coordinate system of the VOXEL model at this time is defined for VOXEL coordinates.

Abstract: This invention concerns the use of pressurized steam as the cooling medium for a gas turbine combustor. It is distinguished by the following. Steam supply manifolds or ports for the cooling steam are provided on the gas inlet and outlet sides of the combustion chamber in the gas turbine combustor. A steam exhaust manifold or port for the cooling steam is provided between the gas inlet and outlet sides, in approximately the center of the chamber. Cooling channels for the steam are created in the external wall panel of the chamber between the steam supply manifolds and the exhaust manifold. The steam supplied into the wall panel through the steam supply manifolds on the gas inlet and outlet sides of the chamber is exhausted to the exterior via the steam exhaust manifold in the center of the chamber. This design allows pressurized steam with a high thermal capacity to be used to effectively cool the wall panels of the combustor, which are exposed to extremely hot combustion gases.

Abstract: Harmful effects of histamine are counteracted by the administration of an antihistaminic substance comprising a water extract of a plant tissue of Stevia. Standing of the extract naturally cause fermentation to form one or more organic acids, such as lactic acid and acetic acid, thereby enhancing the antihistaminic action. The addition of at least one organic acid to the extract immediately after extraction can also enhance the antihistaminic action.
