Patent number: 7191473Abstract: When a user sets water power using a water power adjustment switch in a remote control device, a controller controls the period of pressure fluctuations, the width of pressure fluctuations, and the central pressure of the discharge pressure of a pump on the basis of a signal transmitted by radio from the remote control device. When the user sets the divergent angle of washing water using a washing area adjustment switch in the remote control device, the controller controls the divergent angle of the washing water sprayed from a posterior nozzle on the basis of the signal transmitted by radio from the remote control device. Consequently, the washing water supplied to a side surface of a cylindrical swirl chamber from a first flow path in the posterior nozzle is sprayed from a spray hole as dispersed spiral flow, and the washing water supplied to a lower part of the cylindrical swirl chamber from a second flow path in the posterior nozzle is sprayed from the spray hole as linear flow.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2003Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohide Matsumoto, Hideki Ohno, Kazushige Nakamura, Shigeru Shirai, Hiroaki Fujii, Shinichi Maruyama, Muneo Tao

Patent number: 4910100Abstract: In a solid electrolyte fuel cell, reactant gases are directed by the reactant gas distributing means to flow radially between its central and peripheral portions and this obviates the need to provide an overall gas seal between the individual components of the fuel cell. A gas seal, if necessary at all, may be provided in selected areas. This permits the individual members of the fuel cell to freely slide with respect to one another during thermal expansion or contraction. The radial flow of reactant gas streams effectively reduces the travel path, and hence the concentration gradient, of the reactant gases. This contributes to the accomplishment of a solid electrolyte fuel cell having improved reliability and characteristics. As a further advantage, the discharged reactant gases may be burnt in a combustion chamber and a solid electrolyte fuel cell having a higher thermal efficiency can be realized by making use of the resulting heat of combustion.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1989Date of Patent: March 20, 1990Assignee: Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuneo Nakanishi, Kazuo Koseki, Shinichi Maruyama, Hiroyuki Shundo
