  • Patent number: 11471842
    Abstract: A liquid-mixing apparatus used in a liquid-mixing method comprises a plurality of supply valves provided to a cylinder. The supply valves make it possible to individually supply a plurality of types of liquids into a retention chamber. Each of the supply valves is configured so as to be switchable between an open state, in which the interior of a supply channel via which a liquid is supplied and the interior of the retention chamber intercommunicate, and a closed state, in which communication between the supply channel and the retention chamber is blocked. A piston moves in the direction in which the volume of the retention chamber increases while at least one of the supply valves is in the open state, whereby a liquid is drawn into the storage chamber.

  • Patent number: 10835950
    Abstract: A casting mold and a production method thereof with which exfoliation of coating is controlled and liquidity of molten metal can be maintained are provided. This casting mold 1 includes a surface processing part 3 in which a plurality of groove parts 5 of a grid groove 4 formed in a surface of a molten metal contact part of a mold material 2 is coated with a carbon film 6. In this surface processing part 3, a width W1 of the groove parts 5 is 35 ?m or narrower, skewness Ssk of three-dimensional surface roughness is in a range of ?0.8 to ?0.2, and indentation hardness of the carbon film 6 tested by a nanoindenter is 1000 N/mm2 or higher. With this arrangement, it is possible to optimize the surface processing part 3 in such a manner that a penetration rate of the molten metal (aluminum 10) is controlled to be low and the coating (carbon film 6) is unlikely to exfoliate from the groove parts 5.

  • Patent number: 10611530
    Abstract: A discharge container includes: a discharge nozzle that is mounted on a mouth portion of a container body and in the ceiling wall portion of which a discharge hole for discharging contents is formed; an inside plug disposed inside the discharge nozzle and wherein a communication hole for bringing the discharge hole and the inside of the container body into communication is formed; and a valve body for closing the communication hole so as to allow opening as necessary. The valve body includes: a valve portion disposed above the communication hole's opening circumferential edge of the inside plug so as to separate freely upward therefrom; a topped cylinder-shaped main body portion that is disposed below the valve portion and a bottom opening of which opens toward the inside of the container body; and a connecting portion that connects the valve portion's lower part with the main body portion's top wall.

  • Patent number: 10198527
    Abstract: Within a graphical user interface, a window may be spawned at one point in time and then populated with content at a later point in time. By execution of browser-executable code by a user's device and corresponding server-side code by a machine, a pop-under window may be spawned by the user's device. The spawned pop-under window may be initially hidden by the user's browser window and may be initially loaded with no content or default content. The device may monitor the graphical user interface for search criteria submitted by the user and update the spawned pop-under window based on such search criteria. If the user exits the webpage, and if rules allow presentation of a pop-under window, the pop-under window may be updated by the device for presentation to the user. Based on interest or lack of interest in the updated content, the user may revisit the website.
