  • Publication number: 20110235737
    Abstract: A transmission unit includes a transmission pulse signal generating circuit which generates a transmission pulse signal having pulses corresponding to a plurality of clock signals generated in a clock signal generating circuit, existing between a first pulse and a second pulse which are generated in an edge pulse generating circuit. A receiving unit is configured to decode a received pulse signal based on the transmission pulse signal received from the transmission unit via an isolated communication unit, as a signal that transitions from a first level to a second level when an initial pulse of the received pulse signal is detected and that transitions from the second level to the first level when a subsequent pulse is not detected within a predetermined first time period from when a most recent pulse of the received pulse signal is detected.

  • Publication number: 20110139047
    Abstract: Provided is an air-blown integrated coal gasification combined cycle power generation system equipped with a carbon-dioxide capturing device, in which the integrated coal gasification combined cycle power generation system eliminates the need for an air separator by obtaining a new carrier source that replaces nitrogen gas serving as a carrier gas for pressurizing and carrying pulverized coal and char. In an integrated coal gasification combined cycle power generation system that employs an air combustion method of using air as an oxidizing agent to generate coal gas in a gasification furnace and that supplies the coal gas to a gas turbine after separating and capturing carbon dioxide from the coal gas in a carbon-dioxide capturing device, a portion of the carbon dioxide separated and captured by the carbon-dioxide capturing device is used as a carrier gas for pulverized coal and char.

  • Publication number: 20090023241
    Abstract: The present invention generally comprises a method for cleaning a large area substrate processing chamber. As chamber volume increases, it has surprisingly been found that simply scaling up the cleaning conditions may not effectively clean silicon from the exposed chamber surfaces. Undesired silicon deposits on exposed chamber surfaces may lead to contamination in solar panel formation. Increasing the pressure of the chamber to about 10 Torr or greater while maintaining the chamber at a temperature between about 150 degrees Celsius and 250 degrees Celsius increases plasma cleaning effectiveness such that silicon deposits are removed from the chamber. The combination of high pressure and low temperature may reduce substrate contamination without sacrificing substrate throughput in solar panel fabrication.

  • Publication number: 20080295480
    Abstract: A gasifying agent supply path A from an axial flow compressor 21 which boosts pressure of a gasifying agent to a gasifying furnace 2 is branched, and a gasifying agent bypass path D having an escaping pressure adjusting valve 23 is provided. The flow quantity or pressure of the gasifying agent supplied to the gasifying furnace 2 from the gasifying agent supply path A can be adjusted according to the degree of opening of the adjusting valve 23 disposed in the gasifying agent bypass path D, whereby providing a control valve in the gasifying agent supply path A is no longer necessary. Thus, pressure loss at the gasifying agent supply path A can be suppressed, and the discharge pressure of the axial flow compressor 21 can be greatly reduced.

  • Patent number: 7237937
    Abstract: In a touch panel assembly, the thickness of a touch panel is successfully reduced by using a touch panel 10 provided with no reinforcement member. A housing frame 50 that supports the components of a front light unit 20 in an integral manner is provided with a touch panel positioning mechanism, and the touch panel 10 is fixed to the positioning mechanism, whereby the absence of a reinforcement member is duly compensated for, thus ensuring the strength of the touch panel 10. Deformation of the touch panel 10 that occurs when the touch panel 10 is pressed for operation can be attenuated by a transparent buffer member 5 disposed between the touch panel 10 and a light conductor plate 22. Therefore, the touch panel 10 deformed is prohibited from contacting and damaging the light conductor plate 22, thus preventing the light conductor plate 22 from deteriorating in its functional performance.
