Patent number: 8329473Abstract: Column which includes a first column with an upper layer of H2SO4 silica gel and a lower layer AgNO3 silica gel and a second column packed with alumina, connected detachably to a lower end of the first column. An oily liquid containing polychlorinated biphenyls, is added to the upper layer and heated. An aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent is supplied to the upper layer, whereby polychlorinated biphenyls captured by the first column are dissolved in the aliphatic hydrocarbon and then flow to the second column. The polychlorinated biphenyls are captured by the alumina which is located near the inlet of the second column, which is then detached from the first column. A hydrophobic solvent is passed through the second column in a direction opposite to the direction in which the aliphatic hydrocarbon was passed, providing an extract containing the polychlorinated biphenyls dissolved in a small amount of the hydrophobic solvent.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignees: Ehime University, Miura Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhisa Honda, Tomofumi Takahashi

Patent number: 7839039Abstract: A rotary shaft of a rotor including a magnet with a plurality of magnetic poles arranged at equal intervals on an outer circumference is supported at both ends by bearings. By externally fitting the inner ring of one bearing to the rotary shaft and holding it to be immovable in an axial direction and loosely fitting the outer ring of the bearing into the support hole and positioning it with belleville springs which are in contact resiliently with both sides, the rotary shaft and the rotor are supported so that they are movable in an axial direction within a movement amount of not greater than 2 mm according to a movement of the bearing caused against spring forces of the belleville springs.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2007Date of Patent: November 23, 2010Assignee: JTEKT CorporationInventors: Ken Matsubara, Tomofumi Takahashi, Tetsuo Horie, Minoru Kitabayashi

Publication number: 20100116023Abstract: A column 1 is formed which includes a first column 10 in which an upper layer 14 made of sulfuric acid silica gel and a lower layer 15 made of silver nitrate silica gel are stacked and packed and a second column 20 packed with an alumina layer 23 and connected detachably to the lower end part of the first column 10. An oily liquid containing polychlorinated biphenyls, such as an electric insulating oil, is added to the upper layer 14 and then kept for a predetermined time in a state heated to at least 35° C. An aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent such as n-hexane is supplied to the upper layer 14 having been cooled to ordinary temperature. As a result, polychlorinated biphenyls captured by the first column 10 are dissolved in the aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent and then flows to the second column 20. The polychlorinated biphenyls are captured by that part of the alumina layer 23 which is located near the inlet of the second column 20. The second column 20 is then detached from the first column 10.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Inventors: Katsuhisa Honda, Tomofumi Takahashi

Patent number: 7378037Abstract: To treat an organotin compound in a liquid at low cost. Addition of iron oxide into a liquid containing an organotin compound allows trapping of the organotin compound in the liquid by the iron oxide, and reduction of the organotin compound concentration in the liquid. Various iron oxides such as FeO, Fe2O3(iron sesquioxide), and Fe3O4 (iron oxide black) may be used, but iron oxide black is preferred. Such the method of treating a liquid may be applied to polluted seawater at a harbor to allow reduction of the organotin compound concentration in the seawater and purification of the harbor.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2006Date of Patent: May 27, 2008Assignee: Miura Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhisa Honda, Tomofumi Takahashi

Patent number: 7176598Abstract: A bridge (8) in conformity with a tooth opening angle of the stator (1) is provided between a permanent magnet (5) and a permanent magnet (5) in a rotor (4), so that a magnetic flux for a reluctance torque is made to pass an inner side of the permanent magnet (5). An opening angle of each of ribs (7) on both sides of the permanent magnet (5) is set to be equal to or smaller than the teeth interval opening angle and equal to or larger than a half thereof. Thereby, reluctance of the rib (7) against a magnetic flux in a circumferential direction is increased and leakage of the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet (5) is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Koyo Seiko Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sadaaki Mori, Hirohide Inayama, Atsushi Ishihara, Tomofumi Takahashi, Minoru Kitabayashi, Tetsuo Horie
