  • Patent number: 9977006
    Abstract: The present invention couples a housing including a gas separation membrane to a sensor unit capable of detecting the concentration of hydrogen gas such that liquid cannot permeate a closed space within the housing and only hydrogen gas dissolved in the liquid can permeate the closed space through the gas separation membrane, and detachably couples such a hydrogen sensor element to an opening of a container in which the liquid is held. Accordingly, the present invention can measure the concentration of dissolved hydrogen gas in a simple manner.

  • Patent number: 8738055
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method manage a neighbor base station list (NBL) in a distributed wireless ad-hoc network. Information of neighbor BSs is collected at the BS using a surrounding environment detection function. Neighbor BSs that satisfy a certain condition are determined, among the neighbor BSs from which the information is collected. And the NBL is generated based on the determined neighbor BSs.

  • Publication number: 20080259994
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for measuring radiation temperature through filtration of optical error sources, which can measure surface temperatures of a heating substance within a heating furnace. The system comprises a front lens to collect infrared rays from a measuring target and from surroundings, a pin hole plate having a pin hole formed therein to allow only the infrared rays emitting from the measuring target area to pass therethrough, a rear lens to convert the infrared rays having passed through the pin hole into horizontal infrared rays, a condenser lens to collect the infrared rays having passed through the rear lens, and a radiation pyrometer to measure a temperature of the infrared rays having passed through the filtering unit. The system possible can ensure accuracy and reliability in temperature measurement, and can provide highly precise combustion control, operation stability, and improvement in quality of products.

  • Publication number: 20030094115
    Abstract: A personal rapid transit (PRT) system having a linear induction motor installed on the bottom of a vehicle is provided. Since a linear induction motor is installed on the bottom of a vehicle, the structure of the personal rapid transit (PRT) system is simplified and the stable driving thereof is possible. Further, since an auxiliary ramification wheel is provided, an accident by the vehicle seceding from a track occurring during ramification can be prevented in advance. That is, since only a single linear induction motor is installed horizontally on the bottom of the vehicle and thus the vehicle is driven, the structure of the personal rapid transit (PRT) system is more simplified and becomes lighter, and a production cost can be reduced, in comparison with an existing system using a pair of linear induction motors. In addition, even if a ramification device is failed during ramification, a track secession can be suppressed with an auxiliary ramification wheel provided, to thereby guide a stable running.
