Publication number: 20250128600Abstract: A display control method of gratitude information on a display device is provided. The gratitude information includes at least first gratitude information expressing first gratitude from a first person to a second person, and second gratitude information expressing second gratitude from the second person to a third person. The display control method includes displaying, on the display device, the first person as a first node, the second person as a second node, and the third person as a third node; and on the display device, moving a predetermined display from the first node to the second node, and then moving the predetermined display from the second node to the third node.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: PANASONIC AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS CO., LTD.Inventors: Yu KISHIMOTO, Yohei TANAKA, Yukimasa KOMIYA, Tsuyoshi NISHIO, Toshihiro MIYAMICHI

Raw material gas liquefying device and method of controlling this raw material gas liquefying device
Patent number: 11662140Abstract: A raw material gas liquefying device includes a feed line; a refrigerant circulation line; and a controller. In a refrigerant liquefaction route, a refrigerant flows through a compressor, a heat exchanger, a circulation system JT valve, a liquefied refrigerant storage tank, and the heat exchanger, and returns to the compressor. In a cryogenic energy generation route, the refrigerant flows through the compressor, the heat exchanger, an expansion unit, and the heat exchanger, and returns to the compressor. The controller determines if a refrigerant storage tank liquid level is within an allowable range, manipulates a feed system JT valve opening rate to control refrigerant temperature at the high-temperature-side refrigerant flow path exit side of the heat exchanger, and manipulates the opening rate of the feed system JT valve to control the refrigerant storage tank liquid level so that the refrigerant storage tank liquid level falls into the predetermined allowable range.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2017Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomohiro Sakamoto, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Naotaka Yamazoe, Daisuke Kariya, Yasuo Miwa, Yuichi Saitou, Yosuke Kimura, Toshihiro Komiya, Yoshihiro Matsuda, Keisuke Nakagawa -

Publication number: 20150068246Abstract: A device (HS) is provided with a refrigeration cycle unit (R) and a liquid hydrogen generation unit (P) for generating liquid hydrogen by cooling high-pressure raw material hydrogen by means of the refrigeration cycle unit (R) and by adiabatically expanding said raw material hydrogen by means of a Joule-Thomson valve (12). A first and second heat exchanger (E1, E2) are disposed along the refrigeration cycle unit (R) and the liquid hydrogen generation unit (P). The device (HS) is provided with a mechanism for generating liquid hydrogen by re-liquefying the boil-off gas generated in a liquid hydrogen storage tank. The boil-off gas is introduced into a hydrogen circulation path (1) at a section at which circulating hydrogen having an extremely low temperature flows, and the excessive circulating hydrogen generated therefrom is discharged to a raw material hydrogen path (11) from a section at which the circulating hydrogen is at room temperature.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2013Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Kazuhide Hakamade, Seiji Yamashita, Toshihiro Komiya, Shoji Kamiya, Kenjiro Shindo
