Patent number: 9506432Abstract: A sealing device that is capable of suppressing the generation of unusual noise by guiding a gas flow and suppressing the generation of unusual noise caused by resonance between the gas flow and a pipe. An intake noise reduction portion (20) includes a flow-guiding net portion (21) for guiding a gas flowing in an intake pipe, an annular frame body portion (22) for supporting the flow-guiding net portion (21), a cylindrical portion (23) that extends from the frame body portion (22) in a direction in which the pipe extends, and is fitted into an inner circumferential surface of a second pipe (220) and a flange portion (24) that extends from an end portion of the cylindrical portion (23) toward an outer circumferential surface side, and is disposed in a space between an end surface of a first pipe (210) and an end surface of the second pipe (220). A gasket portion (10) is provided on both surfaces of the flange portion (24).Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: NOK CORPORATIONInventors: Masahiko Inoue, Tomonari Saito, Yasushi Sasaki

Patent number: 8371336Abstract: An outer gas type or inner gas type accumulator has a mechanism for reducing a pressure difference generated when liquid in a liquid chamber and gas expand thermally at a zero-down time, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of a bellows is reduced to suppress abnormal deformation of the bellows, a movable plate supported by a spring is provided at the bellows cap side of an oil port, the movable plate is supported by the spring and away from a seal in normal operation, the movable plate is pushed by the bellows cap and contacts with the seal while elastically deforming the spring, in a zero-down state, and when the liquid and the gas expand thermally in the zero-down state, the bellows cap moves to a position where the liquid pressure and the gas pressure balance, while the movable plate keeps contact with the seal.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Eagle Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Nakaoka, Kuniaki Miyake, Junichi Nakayama, Taisuke Yamada, Takeshi Watanabe, Tomonari Saito

Patent number: 6911563Abstract: A method for carrying out a reaction of one substance capable of being activated by a catalyst with another substance capable of reacting with said one substance activated, characterized in that the substance capable of being activated is activated by passing the substance through a diaphragm type catalyst and the reaction is thus performed in one reaction step; a method for producing an aromatic alcohol utilizing the above method; and a reaction apparatus suitable for these reactions. In the method, one substance is activated by passing through a diaphragm type catalyst and an objective reaction is carried out by using the activated substance, and the reaction can be performed in one reaction step and with safety. Moreover, the contact of the above activated substance with a compound to be reacted therewith can be freely controlled, and therefore, over-reaction can be prevented and an objective product can be produced in high yield.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignees: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science, NOK CorporationInventors: Fujio Mizukami, Shuichi Niwa, Makoto Toba, Naotsugu Itoh, Tomonari Saito, Takemi Nanba, Hiroshi Shoji, Kazuhiko Haba
