Abstract: An object of the present invention is to propose cultivation equipment that can curb complication and upsizing of the equipment even when the number of cultivation stages is increased. Cultivation equipment includes a storage shelf (1) and a plurality of cultivation tanks (3) that are stored in the storage shelf (1) and hold plants (P1) and a cultivation liquid (L1). The cultivation equipment further includes a discharge device (50) and a supply device (51). The discharge device (50) is movable among a plurality of cultivation tanks (3), and discharges the cultivation liquid (L1) from each of the plurality of cultivation tanks (3). The supply device (51) is movable among the plurality of cultivation tanks (3), and supplies the cultivation liquid (L1) to each of the plurality of cultivation tanks (3).

Abstract: The invention provides a boiler load analysis apparatus that has a simple configuration and achieves highly accurate analysis of a boiler load. A boiler load analysis apparatus (10) includes an opening sensor (15) provided to at least one of a fuel supply line (45) and a combustion air supply line (50) of a boiler (40) and configured to measure an opening degree of at least one of a fuel flow regulating mechanism (47) configured to regulate, with the opening degree, a fuel flow in the fuel supply line (45) and a supplied air flow regulating mechanism (54) configured to regulate, with the opening degree, a supplied air flow in the combustion air supply line (50), and a load analyzer (20) configured to calculate a steam load of the boiler (40) from a measurement value of the opening sensor (15), to analyze the steam load of the boiler (40).

Abstract: Disclosed are DNA encoding a polypeptide which can modulate the activity of a muscle-specific tyrosine kinase, and others. The DNA is selected from the following members (a) to (d): (a) DNA comprising a specific nucleotide sequence; (b) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleotide sequence under stringent conditions; (c) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence having the substitution, deletion and/or addition of one or several amino acid residues in a specific amino acid sequence; and (d) DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence having 90% or higher homology to a specific nucleotide sequence.

Abstract: A power supply system is adapted to a platform including a plurality of processing devices including baseboard management controllers (BMC) for processing basic information units, each of which is equipped with a plurality of power supply units (PSU) and at least one secondary power supply unit interconnected to a power cable. The controller calculates the maximum power consumption of the processing device based on its configuration, an adequate number of power supply units being turned on to meet the maximum power consumption, and a redundant power supply corresponding to one power supply unit times the adequate number minus the maximum power consumption. When the processing device suffers from a power shortage, the secondary power supply unit or the power supply unit of the other processing device is selectively turned on so as to recover the redundant power supply, thus normally achieving the N+1 redundancy of power supply.

Abstract: In a multi-processor system, a page descriptor can be updated in a memory coupled to a processor without stopping operations of other processors. Each processor has a page descriptor comparator including a calculated address register which stores a physical page address for an address calculation, and an updated address register which stores a physical page address to be updated. The page descriptor comparator also has a reset page descriptor (RSTPD) mode register which indicates a mode of the processor, and a coincidence detector. If the RSTPD mode register is active, the coincidence detector detects coincidence between the calculated address register and the updated address register.

Abstract: A fire tube boiler having a combustion chamber equipped with a burner, and a group of fire tubes provided adjacent to the combustion chamber. The fire tube boiler further includes a heat exchanger disposed in the combustion chamber and serving for heat exchange with combustion flame from the burner. The combustion chamber is divided into a first combustion chamber and a second combustion chamber by the disposition of the heat exchanger. Furthermore, the heat exchanger is disposed in proximity to the burner so that the combustion flame in the first chamber is less than 1500.degree. C. and the combustion flame in the second chamber is between 1100.degree. and 1400.degree. C. Thus, the fire tube boiler allows further reduction in harmful exhausts such as NOx and CO.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pick and place unit having a first moving plate movably supported by a fixed plate and a second movable moving plate supported by the first moving plate movably in the direction crossing the moving direction of the first moving plate. The pick and place unit comprises: a first rod-shaped member secured to the fixed plate and disposed along the moving direction of the first moving plate; a second rod-shaped member secured to the second moving plate and disposed along the moving direction of the second moving plate; a movable stopper secured to the first moving plate and having bores, each having portions different in width from each other, for receiving the first and second rod-shaped members respectively; a driving member for moving the movable stopper; and stators fixed at any desired positions of the first and second rod-shaped members, respectively, so as to sandwich the movable stopper and adapted to abut against the movable stopper.
