Abstract:
A system and method for providing service in a passenger vehicle having a plurality of passaenger seats. Tree-structured menu data are transmitted from a head end apparatus to a plurality of terminal units (each provided at one of the passenger seats) and the menu data are displayed at each terminal unit. Request signals indicating menu times selected by the passengers are returned to the head end apparatus, where they may be centrally processed and displayed, in order to provide improved service for the passengers.
Abstract:
An information transmission system for transmitting signals from a transmitting side through a single transmission line to a plurality of terminal units. When the terminal units are interrupted by a command signal from the transmitting side, transmission of ordinary information signals to the terminal units is inhibited. When the terminal units are released from the interrupt mode, transmission of ordinary information signals automatically resumes, so that the ordinary information signals are reproduced from the point in time point at which they were interrupted. Normal operation of the terminal units is partially or totally inhibited during the interrupt mode. The system may be embodied in a passenger vehicle, in which a terminal unit is provided at each of a plurality of passenger seats.
Abstract:
A silver oxide primary cell of flat type comprising a casing composed of a cup and a cap electrically insulated from and received in the cup to define a sealed chamber between the cup and the cap. Within the sealed chamber is placed a stack of negative electrode, electrolyte absorbent layer, separator and positive electrode, with the negative and positive electrode held in contact with the cap and the cup, respectively. In order to avoid any possible sharp contact of the positive electrode with the separator, which may otherwise result in internal stresses set up in the separator, the positive electrode has at least one peripheral edge chamfered.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for wet-treating an exhaust gas which comprises simultaneously removing a nitrogen oxide (NO.sub.x) and a sulfur oxide (SO.sub.x) from an exhaust gas containing these oxides by treating exhaust gas containing oxides of nitrogen and sulfur with a lime or limestone slurry containing alkali metal or alkaline earth metal iodide.
Abstract:
A belt for wet-web conveyance which includes a hydrophilic fibrous structure formed by needle punching in a wet-web-side layer thereof and which can be inhibited from increasing in belt width dimension with water absorption of the hydrophilic fibrous structure and from forming base fabric marks. The belt for wet-web conveyance includes a wet-web-side layer including a hydrophilic fibrous structure and a machine-side layer. A base fabric disposed in the belt is constituted of a first woven fabric disposed on the wet-web side and, laminated therewith, a second woven fabric disposed on the press roll side. The first woven fabric is woven from a machine-direction yarn material and a cross-direction yarn material, the machine-direction yarn material being a spun yarn and the cross-direction yarn material being a yarn having a low water absorption.
Abstract:
A wet paper web transfer belt (1) has a wet paper web-side layer (31) including a resin and a hydrophilic fibrous body (30) and a machine-side layer (32). A basic fabric (33) disposed in the belt comprises a first woven fabric (34) disposed on a wet paper web (W) side and a second woven fabric (35) disposed on a press roll (10) side. The first woven fabric (34) and the second woven fabric (35) are stacked together. At least a portion of the hydrophilic fibrous body (30) is exposed on a surface (37) of the wet paper web-side layer (31). The basis weight of the first woven fabric (34) is greater than the basis weight of the second woven fabric (35). The structure is effective to improve a first function to cause the wet paper web (W) to stick thereon and to transfer the wet paper web (W), and a second function to allow the wet paper web (W) to be smoothly released from the belt for transferring the wet paper web (W) to a next process. The belt (1) has opposite edges (E) prevented from being curled while the belt (1) is traveling.
Abstract:
A process belt for papermaking with a long operational life including an integrated structure of a reinforcing fibrous base material and a polyurethane layer is disclosed. The reinforcing fibrous base material is embedded in the polyurethane and the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface are made of the polyurethane. Nanoparticles including, as a main component, a silicon oxide component, the surface of which is treated with an organic silane coupling agent, are homogeneously dispersed in one part or all of the polyurethane.
Abstract:
A process belt for papermaking with a long operational life comprises an integrated structure of a reinforcing fibrous base material 6 and a polyurethane layer, the reinforcing fibrous base material being embedded in the polyurethane, wherein an inorganic filler selected from calcined kaolin clay, fused silica and zeolite is homogeneously dispersed in the polyurethane.
Abstract:
