Abstract: A server capable of reducing an overloaded state even if a refreshing message is frequently generated. A central processing unit receives a first message transmitted from a terminal to establish a session. The central processing unit, when receiving the first message from the terminal, allocates to itself and the other plural central processing units the subsequent message transmission and reception between the terminal and a terminal as a communication partner. The central processing unit allocates to itself and the other plural central processing units the message transmission and reception between the terminals, for example, in a round robin fashion.

Abstract: A die, having multiple discharge orifices arrayed in a generally straight line for applying an application fluid to an object of application, and an internal application fluid reservoir, wherein braces are provided in the application fluid reservoir and extending in a direction generally orthogonal to the direction of the array of the discharge orifices. Also, an application apparatus and method for application fluid, for relatively moving a base material wherein stripe-shaped vertical barrier ribs are formed on the surface of the base material and horizontal barrier ribs having a height equal to or lower than the vertical barrier ribs are formed in a direction generally orthogonal to the vertical barrier ribs, and a die provided facing the base material, while discharging application fluid from multiple discharge orifices provided on the die, thereby applying application fluid to selected grooves between the vertical barrier ribs of the base material.

Abstract: A boiler includes a coal pulverizer that pulverizes coal; a coal combustion unit that combusts gasified pulverized coal that has been pulverized by the coal pulverizer; a furnace that combusts gasified fuel generated by the coal combustion unit; a slag formation unit provided in an ash outlet of the coal combustion unit; means for supplying primary air, for supply of the pulverized coal; to the coal pulverizer; means for supplying secondary air, for gasified combustion, to the coal combustion unit; and means for supplying tertiary air, for gasified fuel combustion, to the furnace.

Abstract: A U-type slag-tap firing boiler includes a combustion furnace (5) formed in a volume so that a temperature of a gas flowing through a slag screen (4) separating the combustion furnace (5) and a radiant furnace (6) disposed below the combustion furnace (5) is maintained in a range that ensures the normal functioning of the slag screen (4) even if air is supplied through a burner (2) into the combustion furnace (5) at an air ratio below 1. NOx generation is reduced by decreasing air supply through the burner (2) into the combustion furnace (5) to below 1, burning pulverized coal in a fuel-rich combustion mode in the combustion furnace (5) to crate a reducing atmosphere therein, and heating the interior of the combustion furnace (5) at a temperature around fluid temperature.

Abstract: A surveillance system makes it possible to confirm the state of a sensing area of a sensor in a house in a location separate from the house. An open/close sensor 201, a vibration sensor 203, and a fire sensor 205, are installed in the house 10. Cameras 202, 204, 206 are provided so as to photograph the respective sensing areas of the sensors 201, 203, 205. An information processing unit 300 is connected to an information communications network 400 which is constructed using an electrical power distribution network of a power company, and images, which are photographed by the cameras 202, 204, 206 when the sensors 201, 203, 205 sense unusual event information, are transmitted to a mobile terminal 100, which is owned by a customer of the power company, via the information communications network 400.
