Patent number: 9206014Abstract: A plurality of relatively long wires having the same diameter are bundled together to obtain a bundle wire in a continuous wire bundling process. A wire bundling device includes a plurality of reels rotated by a rotating drive and wind a wire while a first end is engaged. A wire second-end pressing device collects and presses a second end of each of a plurality of wires having a predetermined length which is fed from a single spool and individually wound around each of a plurality of reels. The wires are withdrawn in a collected state from the reels by a withdrawing device between the plurality of reels and the wire second-end pressing device. The wire second-end press includes first and second pressing devices. The reels are rotated by an electric motor with a contact roller that rotates in contact with an outer circumference of the reel. The motor can be moved so that the contact roller selectively makes contact with the outer circumferences of the reels.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: NITTOKU ENGINEERING CO., LTD.Inventors: Takahiro Sato, Tsutomu Sakai

Patent number: 9067175Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for removing methane from a gas which contains the methane at such a low concentration as not to be rendered into a combustible range with whatever ratio of air mixed therewith. In order to ensure satisfactory methane removal performance even in the coexistence of sulfur compound and in order also to provide stable methane removal performance for an extended period of time without performance deterioration even when the methane concentration varies significantly, the gas is fed to a heat exchanger for preheating and methane is exposed to an oxidation catalyst which oxidizes the methane through contact therewith. Then, the resultant gas is fed again to the heat exchanger for heat recovery through heat exchange with un-reacted gas. Further, the flow rate of gas to be treated is varied, according to a concentration of the methane contained in this treated gas.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Osaka Gas Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hirofumi Ohtsuka, Tsutomu Sakai

Patent number: 7929517Abstract: A VoIP adapter module for a VoIP phone system switches the phone connection from a broadband connection to a wired connection when a power outage or a broadband disconnection is detected. The switch is accomplished by establishing a connection from a telephone connected to an RJ11 port on the module to a wired channel connected to a backup RJ11 port on the module. Detection for power outage is by comparing the device voltage with a reference voltage, and detection for broadband connection is by sending out a PING packet and waiting to see if a return packet is received.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Frank Lin, Tsutomu Sakai
