Patent number: 8834801Abstract: A vertical downflow type flue gas denitrification apparatus which has a plurality of catalyst blocks, each incorporating a catalyst unit provided therein, is provided with a first ash accumulation baffle plate and a second ash accumulation baffle plate which are slidable into a gap between catalyst blocks adjacent to each other, and processes an exhaust gas emitted from a combustor and turned to a vertical downflow. The denitrification apparatus has a simple configuration where the ash accumulation baffle plates prevent ash or the like from being accumulated in the gap between the catalyst blocks. The thermal expansion of the ash accumulation baffle plate can be absorbed even under the operating conditions which produce a change in temperature, and charging and replacing the catalyst in the catalyst blocks are possible without on-site welding of the ash accumulation baffle plates.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2011Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Babcock-Hitachi Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomokazu Harada, Satoru Shishido, Toru Ogasahara

Patent number: 7508904Abstract: An X-ray CT apparatus, wherein a drum type rotation frame is rotatably supported by a fixed circular frame so as to surround an outer surface of the drum type rotation frame through a plurality of bearings provided between an inner surface of the fixing circular frame and an outer surface of the drum type rotation frame, for example in ring-like configuration. When the drum type rotation frame receives a large centrifugal acceleration due to a high speed rotation, outside expansion of the drum type rotation frame can be constrained due to both the rigidity of the fixed frame and the rigidity of the plurality of bearings provided on the outer surface of the rotation frame, thereby to maintain the relative positions of the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector and prevent deterioration of reconstructed images.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Toshiba Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Tomokazu Harada, Makoto Nakano, Tetsuya Sadotomo, Yasutaka Shindo, Katsumi Gotanda
