  • Patent number: 7662219
    Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator that can prevent the corrosion of a discharge electrode even if a gas to be treated containing a corrosive mist is treated. In an electrostatic precipitator having a discharge electrode arranged along a flow path of the gas to be treated, a spray nozzle that can spray a water to the upstream side of the discharge electrode is mounted. A wet film is formed on the surface of the discharge electrode with the water sprayed from the spray nozzle. The sprayed water is desirably a water vapor or a water droplet having a particle diameter of less than 10 ?m.

  • Patent number: 5235518
    Abstract: A veneer composer transfers veneer pieces intermittently on a conveyor, detects the transfer of each veneer piece, cuts the veneer piece into an available width based on a detected signal, joins the veneer pieces end to end to form a composed veneer plate of long length, and cuts the composed veneer plate into a predetermined full size. The conveyor is connected to servo motors and a digital control circuit. The digital control circuit controls operation such that when the conveyor is restarted after an operation of cutting a veneer piece, a buffer acceleration time (Ta) approximately from 40 ms to 200 ms is set for the conveyer, and that when the conveyer is decelerated for setting the veneer piece to a predetermined cutting position, a buffer decelereration time (Td) approximately from 80 ms to 200 ms is set for the conveyor.

  • Patent number: 4682639
    Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a veneer piece into equal sections includes a main conveyer for feeding the veneer piece in a direction transverse to the wood fibers thereof and a cutter disposed in the main conveyer for cutting the veneer piece along the feeding direction thereof. A straightening unit is provided at the upstream position of the cutter for controlling the orientation of the veneer piece on the main conveyor in such a manner that the fibers precisely extend along the transverse direction of the main conveyer, the unit including a plurality of retractable stoppers capable of projecting from the main conveyer to stop the veneer piece for a predetermined time. A multiple conveyer system extends from the downstream end of the main conveyer to transport the sections of the cut veneer pieces to a single feeder at different timings, the feeder conveying the sections to an apparatus for forming seam plates.
