20080220700Glass Substrate for Information Recording Medium and Method for Producing the Same - A glass substrate for an information recording medium is manufactured by polishing the surface of a raw material glass plate. The polishing of the raw material glass plate is divided into a step for performing a first polishing process to roughly polish the surface of the raw material glass plate to be smooth and a step for performing a second polishing process to finely polish the surface of the roughly polished raw material glass plate to be smoother. The first polishing process uses a polishing pad made of a synthetic resin foam and slides the polishing pad on the raw material glass plate surface while supplying a polishing agent to roughly polish the surface. A pad dressing process is performed on the polishing pad before being used in the first polishing process. The pad dressing process polishes the surface of the polishing pad by sliding the polishing pad on a pad dresser including abrasive grains.09-11-2008

20110036830HEAT TREATING METHOD OF ROLLING BEARING DEVICE FOR WHEEL AND COOLING UNIT FOR INNER SHAFT - In the heat treating method, a raceway surface of an outer ring is subjected to heat treatment, while an entirety of an outer peripheral face of the outer ring is cooled by injecting water. Moreover, a raceway surface of an inner shaft is subjected to heat treatment, while a flange of the inner shaft is cooled by bringing it into contact with water. The cooling unit has a holding part for holding the flange while the flange is in contact with water.02-17-2011

20080241022Reactor for Generating Moisture and Moisture Generating and Feeding Apparatus for Which the Reactor is Employed - A reactor for generating moisture, with which hydrogen and oxygen fed into the reactor contact with a platinum coating catalyst layer to activate reactivity so that hydrogen and oxygen react under conditions of non-combustion, wherein the reactor includes a cooler comprising a heat dissipation body substrate in which a heater insertion hole is made in the center to fix to the outer surface of the reactor structural component on the outlet side and a cooler on the outlet side made up of a plural number of heat dissipation bodies installed vertically in parallel on the part excluding the area where the afore-mentioned heater insertion hole of the heat dissipation body substrate exists, and a part of the heater to heat the reactor is inserted in the heater insertion hole so as to fix to the outer surface of the reactor structural component on the outlet side.10-02-2008
20090032115VACUUM THERMAL INSULATING VALVE - The present invention provides a vacuum thermal insulating valve that may be used at high temperature in gas supply systems or gas exhaust systems, and also may be made substantially small and compact in size owing to its excellent thermal insulating performance. With a vacuum thermal insulating valve comprising a valve equipped with a valve body and an actuator, and a vacuum thermal insulating box that houses the valve, the afore-mentioned vacuum thermal insulating box S is formed by a square-shaped lower vacuum jacket S02-05-2009
20100143239METHOD FOR PARALLEL OPERATION OF REACTORS THAT GENERATE MOISTURE - The method for parallel operation of moisture generating reactors according to the present invention operates so that an orifice, provided with an orifice hole having a predetermined opening diameter, is disposed on a mixed-gas inlet side of each of a plurality of moisture generating reactors connected in parallel with each other, and mixed gas G consisting of hydrogen and oxygen is supplied from a mixer to each of the moisture generating reactors through each orifice, and the flows of moisture generated by the moisture generating reactors are combined, and the resulting combined moisture is supplied to an apparatus that uses high-purity water. Thus, a need to increase the amount of high-purity water supply is met by allowing a plurality of moisture generating reactors to perform a parallel water generating operation by branching off a mixed gas consisting of H06-10-2010
20120082596Reactor for Moisture Generation - A reactor for moisture generation generates high-purity moisture at a catalytic reaction temperature that is lower than an ignition point of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas so hydrogen and oxygen gas are supplied into the reactor having a platinum catalyst layer to catalyze the reaction of the gases without combustion, wherein the reactor maintains high adhesion strength for a long time of the platinum catalyst layer to a barrier layer provided between the base material and the platinum catalyst layer. The reactor includes a reactor main body that has a gas inlet and a moisture outlet, and the Y04-05-2012
