Abstract: The present invention provides a pour-over coffee replication system, comprising: an electronic scale, a thermometer, a mobile device, a cloud server and a coffee machine. During the process of making pour-over coffee, the electronic scale is used to obtain the weight time sequence of the coffee beans (powder) as well as the hot water, the thermometer is used to obtain the temperature time sequence of the output hot water. The mobile device integrates the data and converts all the data into a digital coffee making prescription, and uploads it to the cloud server for storage, so that one or more than one user can access from anywhere or at any time. After the coffee machine is connected to the cloud server, the digital coffee making prescription can be easily obtained, and the coffee machine can automatically replicate the process of making pour-over coffee and produce coffee having the same flavor and taste as pour-over coffee.

Abstract: A hydrocarbon gas to be decomposed, optionally mixed with water vapor, is allowed to flow through the gap between various porous tubes 4 constituting a group of porous tubes provided extending vertically in a decomposition reaction column 1 while air or oxygen is jetted homogeneously from the interior to the exterior of the porous tubes in the direction perpendicular to the stream of the hydrocarbon gas to be decomposed, optionally mixed with water vapor. The mixture is then ignited to form a diffusion flame layer B on the outer surface of the porous tubes 4. With the diffusion flame layer as a heat source, the hydrocarbon gas to be decomposed, optionally mixed with water vapor, undergoes pyrolysis.

Abstract: A solid-liquid separator for sludge or the like comprising: a treating tank; means disposed in the treating tank for establishing a horizontal flow therein; and a plurality of stages of submerged filter systems arranged in the treating tank sequentially in the direction of the horizontal flow. This horizontal flow is used sequentially in the submerged filter systems so that the power to be consumed for establishing a scavenging flow can be reduced.

Abstract: A filtration device 5 is provided in the state being submerged in slurry comprising adsorbent component stored in a reaction tank 1. The filtration device 5 incorporates a plurality of filtering-membrane elements 8 each comprising a filtering membrane 10 having less than 0.1 .mu.m of through-hole diameter. These filtering-membrane elements 8 are vertically disposed in parallel with each other at predetermined intervals between surfaces of adjoining filtering membranes 10. A suction pump 14 is provided by way of linkage with the filtering-membrane elements 8 via a suction tube 13 for sucking processed liquid. A gas-dispersing device 16 is disposed below the filtering-membrane elements 8. A blower 18 is provided in linkage with the gas-dispersing device 16 via a blowing duct 17. An adsorbent regeneration apparatus 21 and an adsorbent feeding pump 22 are respectively interposed on the halfway of an adsorbent circulation duct 20.

Abstract: A temperature sensor in which a thermocouple is embedded in a front end of a center electrode of a spark plug, the front end of which is disposed in a combustion chamber of an internal engine, and including a digital-optical converter which is arranged to convert the potential of the thermocouple into an optical output representing the temperature of the spark plug. A connector is arranged to be removably connected to a receptacle in the digital-optical converter. The connector has a pair of contacts which are adapted to energize the digital-optical converter when the connector is electrically connected to the receptacle.
