Abstract: Soldering is performed with a high yield ratio even when extremely-thin wires are joined at an extremely-narrow pitch. Moreover, a bridge between conductive joint portions is reduced. A core wire 41 is placed on a preliminarily-soldered conductive joint portion 2. Then, the conductive joint portions 2 and the core wires 41 are covered with an optically-transparent sheet 30. Thus, the state in which the core wire 41 is placed on the conductive joint portion 2 is held. In this state, the optically-transparent sheet 30 is irradiated with light. A preliminary solder 3 is heated and melted to join the core wire 41 and the conductive joint portion 2 together.

Abstract: A method of removing moisture and toxic gas components from exhaust gas, comprises making exhaust gas, exhausted from an LNG burning boiler, flow through coolant contained in a dehydrating tower to cool it to such a temperature as to solidify moisture and nitrogen oxides but not carbon dioxide, thereby solidifying moisture and nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas to separate from the exhaust gas; introducing the solidified moisture and nitrogen oxides into a solid-liquid separator thereby separating the moisture or the nitrogen oxides from the coolant; and making the coolant be contained in a cooling tower so as to be cooled, and then making the coolant be contained in the dehydrating tower again so as to be circulated.

Abstract: A diagnostic monitoring system, for detecting and displaying malfunctions or abnormal operations occurring in various engine operation control computers, includes a microcomputer, actuators and sensors. Each of the engine operation control computers performs a diagnosis program as a part of their control programs and produces a signal whenever a malfunction or abnormal operation is detected. A central supervisory system receives such signals from the engine operation control computers and stores them separately for the individual control computers. A display unit displays the stored signals in response to instructions from the central supervisory system.
