  • Patent number: 8597520
    Abstract: A wastewater treatment method in which magnetic flocs are formed by adding to wastewater an inorganic flocculant, magnetic particles, and a high molecular polymer as a polymeric flocculant, and the magnetic flocs are collected with magnetic force to thereby obtain treated water having the magnetic flocs removed from the wastewater, wherein the improvement comprises that the magnetic particles are added to the wastewater after adding the inorganic flocculant to the wastewater to flocculate suspended solids in the wastewater, after that or substantially at the same time as the magnetic particles are added, the high molecular polymer is added to the wastewater, and flocculates of the suspended solids and the magnetic particles are combined with each other with the high molecular polymer to thereby obtain the magnetic flocs.

  • Publication number: 20070250854
    Abstract: A view controller for controlling view is described on meta data and a view history (log) of a viewer recorded at the reception side is used to judge whether the condition of the view controller is satisfied. When the condition is satisfied, the view of the received content is permitted. Moreover, the view controller controls not only the view history (log) of the viewer stored before the content is received but also the view of another content during or after the content view. Thus, it is possible to perform view control to enforce the content right information and reflect the intention of the content creator.

  • Patent number: 6327004
    Abstract: A reference picture being as a reference of the replacement area, the reference position of the replacement area and the size of the replacement area has been memorized. Moreover, a replacing LOGO picture has also been memorized. A two dimensional movement amount of a camera is detected by a rotary encoder set on the pan head of the camera, and the detected movement amount is outputted as a movement information. In the picture synthesis device, an address of the reference position of the replacement area in the present picture is calculated based on the movement information, and the replacement area is detected with this address as reference. Then, a key signal indicating a picture in which the present picture and the reference picture within the replacement area are identical or different, and an identical portion between the present picture and the reference picture is replaced with a LOGO picture corresponding to the foregoing identical portion out of the LOGO picture based on this key signal.

  • Patent number: 6206658
    Abstract: Fluid containing organic substances, which has not processed yet, is fed to a plurality of cylinders, using a slurry pump. A free piston is included in each cylinder, the fluid which has not yet been processed is introduced into one of two chambers in the cylinder partitioned by the piston, and processed high-pressure fluid which has been processed is introduced into the other one of the two chamber in the cylinder. The piston pressurizes the fluid with which the cylinder has been filled up. A pressure holding valve is provided in a processed high-pressure fluid system to pressurize an organic substance processing system, and this pressure holding valve suppresses changes in the pressure in the processed high-pressure fluid system.
