20130244284 | METHOD FOR SUBJECTING SOLID BIOMASS TO SACCHARIFICATION PRETREATMENT, APPARATUS THEREFOR, AND METHOD FOR SACCHARIFICATION OF SOLID BIOMASS - Solid biomass having a moisture content in a range of 30 to 95 mass % is brought into contact with ammonia gas at a pressure in a range of 0.5 to 4 MPa and held at 50 to 200 degrees C. Subsequently, the solid biomass is rapidly decompressed to be blasted. The ammonia gas evaporated by decompression is recovered and recycled. The ammonia gas can be brought into contact with the entire solid biomass evenly and in a short time. Since absorption heat of the ammonia gas is generated, energy consumption required for additional heating can be reduced. | 09-19-2013 |

20150298710 | RAILROAD VEHICLE AND PLUG DOOR FOR RAILROAD VEHICLE - Provided are a railroad vehicle that makes it possible to maintain the air tightness of a door and a plug door for a railroad vehicle. A second rail is provided parallel to a first rail in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body above the leading edge side (door side) of a plug rail. The second rail supports the leading edge side of the plug rail. As a result, both edges of the plug rail are supported by the first rail and the second rail. Dangling of the leading edge side of the plug rail is thus prevented even when the plug distance (the distance that the door moves in the vehicle body width direction) is long. In this way, it is possible to block the doorway without leaving a gap using the door and to maintain the air tightness of the door. | 10-22-2015 |
