Abstract: A fluid machine includes: a shaft portion extending in an axis direction; a shroud provided to surround the shaft portion, and forming a flow path between the shroud and the shaft portion, the flow path having one side in the axis direction serving as an upstream side and another side in the axis direction serving as a downstream side; a propeller provided rotatably around the axis between the shaft portion and the shroud; a motor provided in the shroud and configured to rotationally drive the propeller; and a bearing apparatus provided only to the shaft portion, out of the shroud and the shaft portion, and rotationally supporting the propeller.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine of the present invention evaluates a relative displacement of members and improves reliability further even when two or more members operate or move. A rotating electrical machine of the present invention comprises a stator and a rotor disposed on an inner side of the stator with a predetermined gap. The stator includes vibration measuring devices, each of the vibration measuring devices placed on each of at least two members included in the stator, the members having different displacements or phases with each other. The rotating electrical machine includes a device that acquires a relative displacement of one of the members included in the stator by evaluating a difference between displacements or phases measured by the vibration measuring devices and that evaluates a lifetime of the one of the members included in the stator based on the relative displacement.

Abstract: A water quality monitoring system is disclosed including a sampling pipe that acquires steam that passes a bleed pipe that bleeds steam from a low pressure turbine to which steam of low pressure is supplied from among steam turbines, a steam inlet tank into which the steam acquired by the sampling pipe flows, a water quality measurement apparatus that measures the water quality of condensed water condensed from the steam flowed in the steam inlet tank, and a water quality diagnosis apparatus that diagnoses the water quality of the condensed water using a result of the measurement of the water quality measurement apparatus. The steam inlet tank is installed at a location higher than that of the water quality measurement apparatus such that the water quality measurement apparatus measures the water quality of the condensed water boosted to the atmospheric pressure utilizing the head difference.

Abstract: A pachi-slot gaming machine is disclosed having a two-dimensional code displayed on a two-dimensional code display area at the end of a game. A camera of a mobile phone captures the two-dimensional code for transmission to a server. The two-dimensional code, transmitted to the server, is converted by a conversion program for the two-dimensional code into gaming information to be transmitted back to the mobile phone. Further, gaming information, acquired by the mobile phone, is able to be returned to the pachi-slot gaming machine as the two-dimensional code via an image capture device of the pachi-slot gaming machine, thereby enabling alteration of gaming information as needed.

Abstract: A gaming machine is disclosed having a lottery device for performing the lottery to determine whether to afford a premium to a player, and a code information display device displaying code information which is coded based on coding lottery outcome data related to an outcome of the lotteries so that an image capture device captures the code information from an outside of the gaming machine.
