  • Patent number: 7827793
    Abstract: To provide a power generation system that prevents a reduction in the efficiency of a steam turbine due to an aperture adjustment of a turbine governing valve. There is provided a power generation system comprising: a furnace in which a solid fuel or a liquid fuel is combusted; a steam turbine that generates electric power by rotating a turbine rotor using steam generated by the furnace; a superheater that is provided between the furnace and the steam turbine and that superheats the steam; a first steam piping that connects the furnace to the superheater; a second steam piping that connects the superheater to the steam turbine; a first valve provided in the first steam piping; a turbine governing valve provided in the second steam piping; and a control section that adjusts an aperture of the first valve according to a load of the steam turbine.

  • Patent number: 5700338
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resistor integrated in a sintered body, by patterning a plurality of metal thin films which are formed by a thin film forming method, thereafter transferring the patterned metal thin films onto a ceramic green sheet (11), stacking another ceramic green sheet and/or a ceramic green sheet stacked with another metal thin film thereon for obtaining a laminate, and firing the resulting laminate, thereby forming a resistor integrated in a sintered body which is structured by by alloying the plurality of metal thin films in a ceramic sintered body.

  • Patent number: 4985103
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a cylindrical ceramic laminated body includes the steps of forming a ceramic green sheet on a carrier film, laminating the ceramic green sheet on a base plate having a flat upper surface, releasing the ceramic green sheet from the carrier film, applying a joining agent on the ceramic green sheet, and then winding the ceramic green sheet while releasing it from the base plate, thereby obtaining a cylindrical laminated roll.
