20090056540 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING GAS - An apparatus and a method for separating a specified gas from a gas to be treated containing the specified gas comprising at least one ingredient, which comprises allowing the gas to be treated to flow through a column without the use of another gas for transferring the gas to be treated, while keeping the inside of the column packed with a packing material at a reduced pressure. The above apparatus and method can be suitably used for separating a specified gas having a high purity at a low cost. | 03-05-2009 |
20090056552 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING GAS - There is provided a gas separation apparatus for separating a specified gas from a gas to be treated containing a plurality of gases. The gas separation apparatus includes a plurality of serially-connected separation units that separate the specified gas from other gases by using a column, and a suction unit that controls an inside of the column to a reduced pressure. At least two of the plurality of separation units differ from each other in at least one separation condition. | 03-05-2009 |
20110158631 | MIRROR DRIVE APPARATUS INCORPORATING A BRAKE MECHANISM OF AN SLR CAMERA - A mirror drive apparatus incorporating a brake mechanism of an SLR camera includes a mirror pivoted about a mirror rotational shaft and swingable between a viewing position and a retracted position, wherein the mirror is biased to swing from the viewing position to the retracted position; a brake drum which rotates in association with a swing movement of the mirror; a mirror brake member including a brake shoe which is brought into contact with and disengaged from the brake drum; a mirror control cam driven by a motor to return the mirror, which is biased to swing from the viewing position to the retracted position, to the viewing position from the retracted position; and a brake lever control mechanism which makes the brake shoe contact the brake drum and moves the brake shoe off the brake drum by a rotating operation of the mirror control cam. | 06-30-2011 |
20110158632 | MIRROR BRAKE MECHANISM OF AN SLR CAMERA - A mirror brake mechanism of an SLR camera for applying a brake to a mirror pivoted about a mirror rotational shaft to be swingable between a viewing position and a retracted position. The mirror brake mechanism includes a brake shaft which is independent of the mirror rotational shaft and positionally aligned along an extension line of the mirror rotational shaft; an interlocking rotating member disposed on one of laterally opposite sides of the mirror and rotatable about the brake shaft; a mirror drive shaft which connects a mirror seat, on which the mirror is mounted, and the interlocking rotating member to each other in a rotational direction about the mirror drive shaft; a brake drum which rotates in association with the interlocking rotating member; and a mirror brake member which is brought into contact with and disengaged from the brake drum. | 06-30-2011 |
20130319957 | METHOD OF PURIFYING FILTER, AND METHOD OF CLEANING OR DRYING OBJECT TO BE TREATED - A filter that filters carbon dioxide in the gaseous, liquid or supercritical state is efficiently purified. The carbon dioxide is used to at least clean or dry an object to be treated, or to clean or dry the object to be treated. A method of purifying a filter for filtering carbon dioxide in a gaseous, liquid or supercritical state is provided. The carbon dioxide is used to at least clean or dry the object to be treated, or to clean and dry the object to be treated. According to the method, the filter | 12-05-2013 |
20140075984 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING HIGH-PURITY LIQUEFIED CARBON DIOXIDE - A liquefied carbon dioxide producing apparatus that can generate high-purity liquid CO | 03-20-2014 |
20150075636 | LIQUID CARBON DIOXIDE SUPPLY DEVICE AND SUPPLY METHOD - Provided are a supply apparatus and a supply method for supplying fluid carbon dioxide that are energy-saving and efficient. The supply apparatus for supplying fluid carbon dioxide includes: a circulation system including a purifying unit that removes impurities and contaminants from the carbon dioxide, a storage unit that includes a condenser for changing gaseous carbon dioxide passed through the purifying unit into liquid carbon dioxide, a supply unit that includes a first pump for supplying the liquid carbon dioxide in the storage unit to a use point, and a return line through which excess carbon dioxide supplied from the supply unit but not used at the use point is returned to the storage unit; and a carbon dioxide introduction unit that introduces carbon dioxide, as a starting material or recovered gas, to the circulation system. The carbon dioxide introduction unit includes a second pump for increasing the pressure of the carbon dioxide and the second pump introduces the carbon dioxide to the circulation system. | 03-19-2015 |
20150238874 | GAME CONTROL SERVER APPARATUS - A game control server apparatus includes an event game providing unit that provides an event game in which a predetermined capture item is provided to appear on a predetermined grow item grown at a field of each of the players and the predetermined capture item is captured based on a capturing instruction from each of the players; an object providing unit that gives a predetermined decorative object at a timing when a performance result by the player satisfies a predetermined condition; and a probability varying item providing unit that evaluates a performance of each of the players based on a predetermined action performed by the respective player from a start to an end of the period of the first event game, and gives a probability varying item that is permitted to be used in a following or later event game to a player whose performance is good. | 08-27-2015 |
