Patent number: 7503946Abstract: The system is a self-oxidation internal heating steam reforming system for conducting self-oxidation of a raw material gas under the presence of oxygen and conducting steam reforming to generate a hydrogen-rich reformed gas. The system includes a steam generator including a combustion section for combusting an air-fuel mixture obtained by mixing a combustion air with a fuel, thereby heating water using a combustion gas generated in the combustion section to generate hydrogen; a first sucking-mixer for sucking the raw material gas into a steam stream coming from the steam generator to obtain a raw material-steam mixture; and a reformer for oxidizing the raw material gas in the raw material-steam mixture by an oxygen-containing gas supplied from outside, thereby conducting steam reforming of the raw material gas using the reaction heat of the oxidation to generate a hydrogen-rich reformed gas.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2003Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignees: Nippon Chemical Plant Consultant Co., Ltd., T. Rad Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Kuwabara, Yoshio Tomizawa, Yasushi Yoshino, Jun Ono, Shigeki Kobayashi, Saburo Makuro

Publication number: 20080241383Abstract: The invention provides a method for consistently producing a hydrogen gas separator with a good performance balance. The method includes the process for preparing a porous substrate and the process for forming a silica coat on the substrate by chemical vapor deposition in which a reaction is brought about between a silica source provided to one side of the substrate and an oxygen-containing gas supplied to the other side of the substrate. The vapor deposition process is carried out using as the silica source a silicon compound (a) with Si-Z-Si bonds (Z is O or N) in the molecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2008Publication date: October 2, 2008Applicant: NORITAKE CO., LIMITEDInventor: Yasushi Yoshino

Patent number: 7301896Abstract: A redundant changeover apparatus causing no frame synchronization loss even upon occurrence of changeover between working system and protection system. In case of an in-apparatus synchronization system, when two input signals which are mutually asynchronous in phase are changed over by a changeover switch, a changeover switch, a clock extractor, a PLL circuit, and a clock changing portion transmit signals with clocks before the changeover being gradually changed to clocks after the changeover. Alternatively, in case of an in-apparatus synchronize system, data are separated from clocks so that the data are once changed to data with reference clocks, and then for the data, clocks before the changeover are gradually changed to clocks after the changeover.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2001Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Minoru Tateno, Hideaki Koyano, Masato Kobayashi, Yasushi Yoshino, Tatsuru Iwaoka, Kazumaro Takaiwa, Akio Takayasu

Publication number: 20060185243Abstract: The steam reformer 1 has a double-cylinder structure having an inner cylinder 2 and an outer cylinder 3 surrounding the inner cylinder 2. The inner cylinder 2 contains a high-temperature reaction section 6 and an adjacent section 7 being adjacent to the high-temperature reaction section 6. The high-temperature reaction section 6 contains a mixed-catalyst bed 4 prepared by mixing a steam reforming catalyst and an oxidation catalyst, and an oxygen-containing gas introduction section 5. A heat transfer suppresser 50 is structured to suppress heat transfer from the high-temperature reaction section 6 to the adjacent section 7 or to the oxygen-containing gas introduction section 5. With the heat-transfer suppressor 50, the thermal diffusion from the high-temperature reaction section 6 to peripheral area is effectively suppressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2004Publication date: August 24, 2006Inventors: Takeshi Kuwabara, Yoshio Tomizawa, Jun Ono, Yasushi Yoshino

Publication number: 20030076911Abstract: The present invention provides a receiver apparatus for receiving digital data in which stuff data have been inserted by stuffing synchronization. The receiver apparatus has a memory unit having a plurality of memory cells. The digital data other than the stuff data are written in the memory unit in synchronization with a write clock signal, and read from the memory cell in synchronization with a read clock signal. The cycle of the read clock signal is adjusted on the basis of an interval from a reading address to an writing address of the memory cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2002Publication date: April 24, 2003Inventors: Masato Kobayashi, Minoru Tateno, Yasushi Yoshino, Hideaki Koyano, Taturu Iwaoka, Takahiro Kubota, Akio Takayasu
