Abstract: An exhaust pressure control valve comprises a casing including a bore and a pair of first and second shaft support parts, and a valve shaft placed across the bore and rotatably supported by the shaft support parts. A first end portion of the valve shaft is arranged protruding outside the casing. A throttle valve is secured to the valve shaft inside the bore. An actuator is coupled to the first end portion to open and close the throttle valve. The second shaft support part is located in a bypass passage downstream from a bypass valve and has an opening in which a cap formed with a through hole is fitted. The inside of the second shaft support part is allowed to communicate with atmosphere through the through hole, the bypass passage, and others so that an end face of a second end portion can be subjected to atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reinforcing bar material coated with a high adhesion anticorrosion film that enables to increase adhesion strength to concrete, which comprises forming two layers of anticorrosion films on a surface of a reinforcing bar material by means of spraying an epoxy powder coating material under a temperature condition where performance of the epoxy resin can be retained, so as to solve a pin hole problem that inevitably occurs in an anticorrosion film, and also to exhibit firm projections in a state coated with the epoxy resin on the second layer of anticorrosion film. The present invention comprises heating a reinforcing bar material, spraying and melt-adhering an epoxy powder coating material onto the reinforcing bar material while a temperature on a surface of the reinforcing bar material is between 200 and 250° C.

Abstract: A diversity receiver includes: a plurality of demodulating means for demodulating inputted OFDM signals, to output their demodulated signals; noise component calculating means provided for each demodulating means, for calculating noise components included in the demodulated signals outputted from corresponding demodulating means; channel profile calculating means provided for each demodulating means, for calculating channel profiles based upon the demodulated signals outputted from corresponding demodulating means; transmission channel decision means for determining transmission channel based upon the channel profiles; reliability information generating means for generating reliability information indicating reliability of the demodulated signals outputted from each demodulating means, based upon the noise components and the results of the determinations by the transmission channel decision means; a weighting factor calculating means for calculating, depending on the reliability information, weighting factors

Abstract: A plurality of orderers with their own code systems procures materials from companies (supply companies) with which the orderers have business relations. In this material procurement system, a name register master is provided for making correspondence between goods name codes provided by each of the supply companies and material codes of the orderers. When necessary materials are procured from the supply company, the orderer goods name codes are used for specifying the materials. Further, an order processor is provided. The order processor refers to the name register master, and combines orders of the materials with a same orderer goods name, if the same goods name of the supply company is in the name register master. The order processor also divides the orders and orders to another company by referring to the name register master, if the materials in a quantity beyond a predetermined number must be ordered.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for separating and recovering propargyl alcohol from a product mixture containing a solvent, water and propargyl alcohol, which alleviates the problems of prior art and which can separate and recover propargyl alcohol in a simple operation at an advantageous thermal energy without requiring a large distillation unit or a complicated separation operation or step.
