Patent number: 8227222Abstract: The hydrogen-producing method of the an aspect of the present invention is a method for producing hydrogen in which hydrogen is produced from an organic matter using a microorganism, characterized by using pellets on which hydrogen-producing acid-resistant bacteria are entrapped and immobilized, producing hydrogen by bringing the pellets into contact and react with the organic matter in an environment of a pH of 4 to 6. The inventors of the present invention have obtained a finding that a hydrogen-producing bacteria are entrapped and immobilized, so that the optimum pH of the hydrogen-producing bacterium shifts to low range. The present invention is made based on the above finding and uses pellets on which the hydrogen-producing bacteria are entrapped and immobilized, so that the hydrogen-producing bacterium is activated at a low pH range of 4 to 6 to produce hydrogen. Therefore, the effects of contaminated bacteria that consume hydrogen are less, and the yield of hydrogen can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignees: Hitachi Plant Technologies, Ltd., Sapporo Breweries, Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuo Sumino, Naoki Abe, Hajime Ikuta, Naomichi Mori, Yutaka Mitani, Yasuhiro Oki

Patent number: 6683985Abstract: A principle curvature of a target curved surface S′ and a principle curvature of a corresponding position of a reference surface S are obtained and each part is displayed by being classified into (a) a case where two principle curvatures increase, (b) a case where two principle curvatures decrease, and (c) a case where one of the principle curvatures increases and the other decreases from the difference between the principle curvatures. (a), (b), and (c) are determined as mountain, valley, and twist, respectively, and are displayed in different symbols or colors on an image. Consequently, a different part between two three-dimensional shapes can be accurately grasped, the cause of the occurrence of the error such as a partial curve or the like can be easily found, how much the shapes coincide with each other as a whole can be indicated by an objective numerical value, and the error can be easily determined even if the reference shape is complicated.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 1999Date of Patent: January 27, 2004Assignees: Riken, Amada Company, LimitedInventors: Kiwamu Kase, Akitake Makinouchi, Tetsuya Kondo, Naomichi Mori

Patent number: 6576451Abstract: An oligomer is provided having a polyalkylene glycol main structure, a polymeric double bond group arranged at both ends of the main structure, and a sub-structure arranged between the main structure and each polymeric double bond group. The sub-structures lengthen the main structure, and are composed of a urethane bond and an ethyleneoxy, or a urethane bond, an ethyleneoxy and a propyleneoxy. The introduction of urethane bonds causes crystallization (network formation) with the urethane bonds themselves so that a hydrous gel resulting from polymerizing the oligomer has increased flexibility, strength and erosion resistance. As a result, even though the main structure is lengthened to increase capacity to entrap microorganisms, the strength of the hydrous gel is not reduced. The ethyleneoxy weakens hydrophobicity of urethane regions to improve affinity of the gel for microorganisms. Microorganisms can adhere to and grow on the surface of a hydrous gel produced by polymerizing the oligomer.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2000Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignees: Hitachi Plant Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., Shin-Nakamura Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuo Sumino, Naomichi Mori, Tamio Igarashi, Hiroyoshi Emori, Minoru Kayanoki, Takayuki Nakamura, Ryuichi Matsuyama, Tsutomu Minaki

Patent number: 5578200Abstract: A sewage treatment system is provided for cleaning sewage by filtering solid components in the sewage through use of a floating filter medium, wherein the filtration performance can be improved and the filtration cleaning can be performed efficiently. The sewage flows upwardly in the treatment tank and is filtered through the floating filter media layer made of cylindrical mesh floating filter media which have a smaller specific gravity than the sewage. To wash the floating filter medium, air is jetted from the air jetting pipes to generate a circular flow to scape off solid components adhering to the filter medium. Then the waste, which has washed the floating filter medium is discharged to the outside of the treatment tank while the air is jetted from the air jetting pipe for full jetting of the floating filter media layer unidirectionally.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 1995Date of Patent: November 26, 1996Assignees: Hitachi Plant Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd., Yasushi FunakoshiInventors: Yasushi Funakoshi, Khoji Ogata, Masayuki Kojima, Hitoshi Kawaziri, Hirofumi Yamamoto, Kazuhiko Noto, Naomichi Mori
