Abstract: A dehydrogenation processing method for a turbine blade of a steam turbine. The method includes a step of heating the turbine blade by suppling heating steam into a casing of the steam turbine after a steam turbine plant is stopped. The heating steam supplied to the casing has a temperature that is higher than steam passing through the turbine blade during operation of the steam turbine plant. The method further includes repeating the process of supplying the heating steam into the casing a multiple of times.

Abstract: A projector acquires the distance from the projector to a screen. When the acquired distance is short, the projector increases the shutter speed of an electronic shutter of an imaging section, whereas when the acquired distance is long, the projector decreases the shutter speed of the electronic shutter of the imaging section. A pointer outputs infrared light for a predetermined period, and the imaging section of the projector captures the infrared light outputted by the pointer at the set shutter speed and identifies the position of the pointer.

Abstract: A sealability acquiring mechanism disposed in a medical apparatus has a raising base unit constituted of a raising base operating mechanism, a raising tube path portion, a guide tube and a raising base. In the raising tube path portion, there is disposed a sealing member that is water-tightly or air-tightly fixed to a wire fixing portion to be connected to a raising wire inserted into an outer peripheral member and the outer peripheral member, a fluid supplied from an opening of the outer peripheral member flows between an inner peripheral surface of a raising tube path and an outer peripheral surface of the sealing member, and the raising base operating mechanism is water-tightly or air-tightly separated from the raising tube path.

Abstract: A turbine-blade retaining structure in which deformation of end portions of locking pieces exposed through an insertion window portion in the axial direction is prevented, and the occurrence of a crack in a welded portion is prevented. At least one of the end portions of adjacent locking pieces exposed through the insertion window portion is provided with a thick-plate portion that expands in the disc-thickness direction so as to be inside the insertion window portion.

Abstract: An apparatus for accurately estimating the SOC of a rechargeable battery installed in a hybrid electric vehicle. A voltage variation measurement unit measures terminal voltage variation amount of the rechargeable battery in a no-battery-current state in which a charge-discharge current does not flow in the rechargeable battery. A polarization voltage calculator calculates a polarization voltage from the measured variation amount. An electromotive force calculator subtracts the polarization voltage from a non-load voltage in a state in which a charge-discharge path is open to calculate the electromotive force of the rechargeable battery. An SOC estimator estimates the SOC of the rechargeable battery based on the electromotive force.

Abstract: A method of certifying the existence of electronic information released on a network at a time and date. The network connects one or more computer servers and a plurality of client computers with each other. Electronic information of a web page stored in one of the plurality of client computers is accessed using information of its location from one of the computer servers based on a request from one of the client computers. A copy of the electronic information is then obtained. Attribute information is generated from the location, access time, and date when the electronic information is accessed. An electronic certificate may be generated by uniquely specifying the electronic information and the attribute information as inherent information identifying the electronic information. The copy of the electronic information is stored in a memory by tying up the electronic information with the electronic certificate and the attribute information.
