Abstract: A method of operating a carbon dioxide recovering apparatus includes introducing flue gas into an absorbing tower, bringing the flue gas into contact with an absorbing solution, and discharging a first rich solution, which is then divided into second and third rich solutions. The second rich solution is heated using a lean solution from a releasing tower. The third rich solution is heated using steam from the releasing tower. The lean solution and the steam are generated in the releasing tower from the second and third rich solutions. The steam used to heat the third rich solution is separated, in a gas-liquid separator, into carbon dioxide and condensate water. The amount of condensate water formed in the gas-liquid separator is measured, and a flow dividing ratio between the second rich solution and the third rich solution is controlled based on a change in the amount of the condensate water.

Abstract: A brake modulator controls actuation of front and rear brakes, and includes a collision possibility determining unit, an automatic brake control unit, and a brake operation determining unit. When the collision possibility determining unit determines that there is a possibility of collision, and the brake operation determining unit determines that brake operation by a driver is absent, the automatic brake control unit first actuates only the rear brake to generate a rear wheel braking force, and also actuates the front brake 2 to generate a front wheel braking force.

Abstract: A sheet processing device includes a conveying unit, a presser, an end detector, and a setting unit. The conveying unit conveys a sheet having a crease formed therein. The presser presses the crease in the sheet. The end detector detects an end in a conveying direction of the sheet at a position upstream of the presser in the conveying direction. The setting unit sets a crease position where the crease is to be formed. Upon detection of the end in the conveying direction, the conveying unit conveys the sheet to a position where the crease faces the presser, on the basis of the crease position set by the setting unit. The presser presses the crease in the conveyed sheet.
