  • Publication number: 20120205363
    Abstract: A canned product heating apparatus includes: a non-contact type temperature detecting element which is not in contact with a surface of a can container; a directional microphone oriented to a closure of the can container; an interrupting circuit which interrupts an electrical supply to a high-frequency induction heating coil based on a signal transmitted from the directional microphone. The electrical supply to the high-frequency induction heating coil is stopped by the interrupting circuit in case the directional microphone captures sonic waves within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 8044343
    Abstract: A plurality of molecule components included in a gas are to be ionized at the same time by PI method. For instance, a plurality of molecule components included in a gas generated at a certain instance are accurately analyzed in real time based on PI method. A gas analyzer is provided with a gas transfer apparatus for transferring a gas generated from a sample in a sample chamber to an analyzing chamber; an ionizer for ionizing the gas; a quadruple filter for separating ions by mass/charge ratio; and an ion detector for detecting the separated ions. The ionizer is provided with an ionizing region arranged in the vicinity of a gas exhaust of the gas transfer apparatus, and a lamp for applying light on the ionizing region. Since the lamp outputs light which has light directivity lower than that of a laser beam and travels by spreading, the gas entered the ionizing region in the ionizer receives light in a wide range, and the gas components inside are ionized at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20040005433
    Abstract: A MCP 1 according to the present invention is one in which outer circumferential glass 5 is disposed around channel glass 3 that is provided with a plurality of channels 7 in a long and thin hole shape and is formed in a plate shape. This channel glass 3 contains 35 to 55% of SiO2, 0 to 5% of Al2O3, 25 to 46% of PbO, 0.5 to 10% of &Sgr;(Li2O+Na2O+K2O), 0.1 to 8% of &Sgr;(Rb2O+Cs2O), 0 to 5% of &Sgr;(MgO+CaO+SrO+BaO), 0.1 to 7% of ZrO2, and 0 to 5% of Bi2O3 (all the above % are wt %). With such a composition, a sufficient glass network structure is formed in the channel glass 3. Moreover, the channel glass 3 can be sufficiently restricted from becoming porous, and moisture can be restricted from being adsorbed thereto. As results of these, a change with time, such as a “warp” can be sufficiently restricted from being generated even in a high-humidity environment.
