  • Patent number: 10947038
    Abstract: A thermal insulating structure includes: at least two retainers that protrude from a to-be-insulated surface exposed to a vacuum space; at least two first multilayer vacuum insulating sheets adjacent to each other with the retainers positioned therebetween, the insulating sheets covering the to-be-insulated surface; at least one second multilayer vacuum insulating sheet that extends between the retainers along a boundary between the first multilayer vacuum insulating sheets in a manner to cover the boundary; at least two third multilayer vacuum insulating sheets that are adjacent to each other with the retainers positioned therebetween, the at least two third multilayer vacuum insulating sheets covering the first multilayer vacuum insulating sheets and the second multilayer vacuum insulating sheet; and a keep plate that is fixed to the retainers and holds the first multilayer vacuum insulating sheets, the second multilayer vacuum insulating sheet, and the third multilayer vacuum insulating sheets.

  • Patent number: 10378696
    Abstract: A thermal insulating structure includes: at least two first multilayer vacuum insulators that adjoin each other and that cover a to-be-insulated surface; a retainer that is fixed to the to-be-insulated surface and that protrudes from a boundary between the first multilayer vacuum insulators; a second multilayer vacuum insulator that extends along the boundary and that covers the boundary, the second multilayer vacuum insulator including a through-hole formed therein, in which the retainer is inserted; and a keep plate that is fixed to the retainer and that holds the second multilayer vacuum insulator and the first multilayer vacuum insulators.

  • Patent number: 10229539
    Abstract: The system includes imaging unit which images a work space at a viewpoint position in a visual line direction of a worker together with an other component to which one component is to be installed, a position attitude information obtaining unit which obtains position attitude information which indicates relative position attitude relation between viewpoint of the worker and other component in the work space, a virtual image generating unit which generates virtual image of an actual shape of the one component at the viewpoint position in the visual line direction of the worker based on position attitude information, an image composing unit which generates composite image by superimposing virtual image on a real image in the work space imaged by the imaging unit, and display unit which displays composite image. According to the system, efficiency of component assembly work can be considerably improved by using mixed reality technology.
