  • Patent number: 9546656
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluid machine. A pump integrated expander (29A) includes a pump unit (60) and an expansion unit (50). In the pump unit (60), a casing member (65) supports a gear pump (61), a rotating shaft (28) and a driven crank mechanism (81). In the expansion unit (50), a casing including a main body (51a) and a casing member (54) supports an expander (23) including a fixed scroll (51) and an orbiting scroll (52). The pump integrated expander (29A) is divided into the pump unit (60) and the expansion unit (50) by separating at the fitted portion of a tubular portion (65c) on the pump unit (60) side and a smaller inner diameter portion (54b) on the expansion unit (50) side and by pulling the eccentric bush (83) out of a drive bearing (56).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8330896
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight for radiating light to the liquid crystal display panel. The backlight includes a hot-cathode tube (linear light source) (21) and ends (21b) of an outer shape of the hot-cathode tube (21) are positioned inside a display region (R1) of the liquid crystal display panel when the liquid crystal display device is seen from a side where an image is displayed, and the hot-cathode tube (21) is positioned to cross a center line (C) of the display region (R1) in a longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20090322991
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a lighting unit includes a hot-cathode fluorescent lamp including a filament electrode that emits a thermoelectron, an optical sensor for detecting an electromagnetic wave emitted by the filament electrode, and a driving circuit for controlling the driving of the hot-cathode fluorescent lamp based on a detected result of the optical sensor. The arrangement makes it possible to provide a lighting unit that can promptly detect an abnormality caused in the hot-cathode fluorescent lamp.
