  • Patent number: 8280468
    Abstract: A superconducting magnet device for a single crystal pulling apparatus is arranged outside a pulling furnace containing a crucible for melting a single crystal material therein so as to apply a magnetic field to the melted single crystal material. The superconducting magnet device for a single crystal pulling apparatus includes a cryostat containing a superconducting coil therein, and a refrigerator port arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the cryostat and provided with a cryogenic refrigerator that cools the superconducting coil. The cryogenic refrigerator is provided in a region of the outer surface region of the cryostat at which the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the superconducting coil is weak.

  • Patent number: 8069892
    Abstract: In a film bonding machine 1 including a laser oscillation means 2 for oscillating laser for processing a tape 7 bonded onto an end surface 8 of a columnar honeycomb structural body 6 by the laser oscillated from the laser oscillation means 2, the film bonding machine 1 further includes an image pick-up means 3 having a moving type or tilt type mirror 4 capable of reflecting the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 onto the same axis as the laser oscillation means 2 by reflected light and an image pick-up unit 5 for picking up the image of the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 reflected by the mirror 4. In the film bonding machine 1, the processing position of the tape 7 bonded onto the end surface 8 of the honeycomb structural body 6 can be recognized by the image-pick means 3 on the same axis as the laser oscillation means 2. As a result, the tape bonded onto the end surface of the honeycomb structural body can be accurately processed by the laser.

  • Patent number: 7156934
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ceramic honeycomb structure of the present invention, comprising the steps of: stamping sheets onto opposite end faces of a ceramic honeycomb body having a plurality of cells and formed into a honeycomb shape; drilling holes in the sheets at positions corresponding to opening parts of the cells; filling, through the holes, a slurry for sealing into the opening parts of the cells in the opposite end faces of the ceramic honeycomb body; firing the body; and alternately sealing the opening parts of the cells, characterized by comprising the steps of: forming the ceramic honeycomb body into a shape having at least one reference cell different in the shape of the opening part in the end face from the other cells; and drilling the holes in the sheets at the positions corresponding to the opening parts of the reference cell and the other cells with the reference cell taken as a reference point, whereby the ceramic honeycomb structure thus obtained can be manufactured at a low cost, since

  • Patent number: 6331699
    Abstract: A microwave heating apparatus operates in either a first mode or a second mode, that allow different amounts of electric power to be supplied to a load and a control circuit for driving and controlling the load. The voltage applied to a primary coil of a transformer is lower in the second mode than in the first mode. In another apparatus, no electric power is supplied to a control circuit for driving and controlling a heating member and other circuits when the apparatus is in a standby state. However, when the user operates an operation member for opening the door of a heating chamber, electric power is supplied.
