  • Patent number: 8295425
    Abstract: A fast reactor having a reactivity control reflector has a reactor vessel in which a coolant is accommodated, a reactor core which is installed in the reactor vessel and dipped with the coolant, and a reflector installed outside of the reactor core so as to be movable in a vertical direction for controlling the reactivity of the reactor core. The reflector of the fast reactor has a lower neutron reflecting portion having a neutron reflection capability higher than that of the coolant and an upper cavity portion located above the neutron reflecting portion and having a neutron reflection capability lower than that of the coolant. The cavity portion is composed of a plurality of cylindrical hermetically-sealed vessels.

  • Publication number: 20100067645
    Abstract: A reflector system of a fast reactor according to the present invention comprises a reflector having a neutron reflecting portion reflecting a neutron radiated from a reactor core, and a cavity portion provided above the neutron reflecting portion and having a lower neutron reflecting capacity than a coolant, and a reflector drive apparatus coupled to the reflector and moving the reflector in a vertical direction. The reflector drive apparatus has a driving portion which is coupled to the reflector via a drive shaft, and drives the reflector up and down, and a load sensing portion which is provided between the driving portion and the drive shaft, and senses a load of the reflector. A detecting portion receiving a load signal from the load sensing portion so as to detect a breakage of the cavity portion of the reflector is connected to the load sensing portion.

  • Patent number: 7394004
    Abstract: A key structure includes a top plate which is formed by laminating a half-transparent resin surface layer member on a resin bottom side member using two-color injection molding, and the top plate is secured on a wooden key base. A plurality of concave grooves and protrusions, and a plurality of protrusion and troughs are respectively formed together in straight lines in the long direction of the key structure on a rear face of the surface layer member and a top face of the rear side member. Outside light is reflected from the top ends of the protrusion and the troughs, whereby a faint and natural vertically-striped pattern, which corresponds to a concave-convex part formed by the concave grooves and the protrusions, is perceived as resembling an edge grain of ivory.

  • Publication number: 20060162530
    Abstract: Reed includes a proximal end section, and an extension section extending straight in a forward direction from the proximal end section. The extension section has a distal end section and a thin plate portion, and the distal end section has a mass portion where much of the mass of the reed concentrates. The entire reed is formed of a single material, such as an SK material, by MIM molding. Small-thickness tuning piece 16 is provided integrally with the mass portion and extending downward from a front underside area of the mass portion. Tuning or tone pitch adjustment is carried out by cutting off a part of the tuning piece.
