  • Patent number: 11187678
    Abstract: A solid-liquid distribution detection apparatus is adapted to detect a solid-liquid distribution state of a content in a solid-liquid separation column of a freeze concentration device and includes a sound source adapted to emit a sound wave to a column surface of the solid-liquid separation column, a measuring device adapted to measure a resonance waveform on the column surface of the solid-liquid separation column, and an analysis device adapted to analyze the resonance waveform measured by the measuring device and determine the solid-liquid distribution state of the content in the solid-liquid separation column based on an analysis result.

  • Patent number: 6572806
    Abstract: A multilayered biaxially-oriented styrene based resin sheet comprises; a styrene based resin layer (A) as at least two outer layers formed by the polymerization of methacrylic acid in a weight proportion of 1˜3.5% and styrene, and a styrene based resin layer (B) formed from polystyrene which is sandwiched between the outer layers and for which the loss tangent (tan &dgr;) maximum peak value temperature for dynamic viscoelasticity measurement is 6.5˜25° C. lower than that for the resin of the resin layer (A). The sheet has excellent properties of transparency and external appearance, can be reused by recovering and moreover does not suffer from raindrop occurrence by secondary forming.

  • Patent number: 6374178
    Abstract: A transportation arrangement center for drawing up an operations plan is arranged between shippers and both physical distribution centers and transportation bases. The transportation arrangement center is provided with a master data managing unit for managing cargo item data, physical distribution center data, and vehicle and garage data concerning vehicles managed by the transportation bases and their garages and with a route making unit for making routes, taking in consideration also priority vehicles, based on the data of the cargoes, physical distribution centers, vehicles, and garages. The route making unit sets the efficient routes satisfying the transportation orders from the shippers and the restraint conditions on operation, minimizing the number of vehicles dispatched, and selecting the optimum transportation bases. This gives a transportation arrangement system capable of improving the physical distribution efficiency while keeping down the total number of vehicles dispatched.
