Publication number: 20170291202Abstract: A system for intercepting, treating and venting vapors from contaminated soil in the vadose zone and from contaminated groundwater includes a large borehole and at least one small borehole each having an open top end, a porous liner against the outer wall and porous fill material inside the liner. The fill material can include materials to retard and degrade contaminants in the vapors. The large and small boreholes can have impermeable sections in the liner, and impermeable ground cover around the top ends. The large borehole can also include a slotted aeration tube in the borehole and vegetation planted in the open end of the borehole. A method for intercepting, treating and venting of vapors from contaminated soil in the vadose zone and contaminated groundwater includes the system and pulling vapors out the top end of the large borehole with variations in atmospheric barometric pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2016Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventor: Edward Augustus Council, III

Publication number: 20170291203Abstract: A method for producing a metal sheet with raised lines uses a rolling mill including a roll stand and produces a metal sheet including, on each of an upper surface and a lower surface, a plurality of raised lines extending in a rolling direction. The method includes a preparing step, an incorporating step, and a forming step. In the preparing step, grooved rolls are prepared, each of the grooved rolls including a plurality of grooves in an outer peripheral surface. In the incorporating step, the grooved rolls are incorporated in the roll stand as an upper roll and a lower roll, respectively. In the forming step, a workpiece is rolled by the rolling mill and is formed into a metal sheet with raised lines formed corresponding to the respective grooves of the grooved rolls.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2015Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Hitoshi NIKAIDO, Toru YONEBAYASHI, Koichi SATO, Daiki KAMADA

Publication number: 20170291204Abstract: A monitoring device monitors a forming machine (target device). The forming machine includes a housing, a bearing attached to the housing, and a shaft placed radially inside the bearing. The monitoring device includes a plurality of heat flux sensors and a detector. The heat flux sensors are provided on the radially outer side of the bearing and spaced from each other in the circumferential direction of the bearing. The heat flux sensors output a signal corresponding to heat fluxes through faces thereof on the bearing side and faces thereof on the other side. The detector detects a load applied radially to the shaft or bearing, based on the output from the heat flux sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2017Publication date: October 12, 2017Inventors: Norio GOUKO, Toshihisa TANIGUCHI, Atusi SAKAIDA, Keiji OKAMOTO, Yoshihiko SHIRAISHI, Masahiro ASANO
