摘要:
The present invention relates to a hydrogen supply device which supplies hydrogen by selectively permitting permeation of hydrogen contained in a hydrogen containing gas (G1). This device includes: a first metal layer (2) which dissociates hydrogen molecules into hydrogen ions by a catalytic reaction and has hydrogen permeability; a second metal layer (3) which creates hydrogen molecules by bonding hydrogen ions to each other using electrons and has hydrogen permeability; a hydrogen permeation layer (1) which is interposed between the first metal layer (2) and the second metal layer (3) and permits permeation of the hydrogen ions from the first metal layer (2) to the second metal layer (3) by the application of a voltage; and a voltage application (7) for applying the voltage to the hydrogen permeation layer (1) by setting the first metal layer (2) as an anode and setting the second metal layer (3) as a cathode. According to this device, even when the concentration of hydrogen is low, it is possible to dissociate hydrogen from a hydrogen containing gas, and to suppress noise during the operation of the device.

Silicon particles in waste liquid can be highly efficiently separated with inexpensive equipment to be reused as raw material for production of a single-crystal silicon ingot.Provided are a recovery unit 12 for recovering the silicon particles from silicon-particle-containing waste liquid from a silicon ingot processing unit; a liquid mixture tank 1 for storing dissolved liquid mixture in which impurities is dissolved by mixing of the silicon particles unit with an acid; a filter-cloth-type filter 2 connected to the liquid mixture tank 1 through supply and return channels 8 and 10 for formation of cake of the silicon particles on the filter cloth for filtration; pure-water supply means 49 for supplying pure water to the liquid mixture tank 1; and pressurized air supply means 34 capable of switching between an operation for supplying pressurized air to a filtering surface side of the filter cloth to dehydrate the cake of the silicon particles and an operation for supplying the pressurized air to a side opposite to the filtering surface side of the filter cloth to drop and take out the dehydrated cake. Thus, single-crystal silicon particles free from the impurities are separated and recovered highly efficiently.

In a sterilizing agent capsule container and a sterilizer using the sterilizing agent capsule container where a vacuum sterilizing housing is filled with a chemical vapor obtained by the vaporization of a sterilizing agent to sterilize an object to be sterilized, a plurality of sealed sterilizing agent capsules are accommodated in the axial direction of a needle for removing a sterilizing agent in a capsule accommodation chamber of the sterilizing agent capsule container and the sealed sterilizing agent capsules are made of a material through which the needle can pass. A plurality of the sealed sterilizing agent capsules in the sterilizing agent capsule container can be gradually punctured by the needle in sequence. Thus, a moving device for horizontally moving the sterilizing agent capsule container and displacing sealed sterilizing agent capsules to a removal position corresponding to the needle, and a pressurizing device for compressing and pressuring the sealed sterilizing agent capsules at the removal position are not particularly required. As a result, the space occupied by the sterilizing agent capsule container can be reduced and the structure thereof can be simplified with a decrease in cost.

An insertion instrument body includes a longitudinal metallic core portion, a distending portion and a power supply means. The metallic core portion is inserted into a lumen such as a blood vessel. The distending portion is fixed to an outer face of the metallic core portion. The power supply means heats the distending portion above a transforming temperature. The distending portion includes a cylindrical portion which is mountable on the metallic core portion; and a plurality of rod-shaped portions which are integrally formed in the cylindrical portion and which are made of a shape-memory material. The rod-shaped portion returns to an original shape by displacing in an intersecting direction with respect to a longitudinal direction of the metallic core portion. An electrical insulating layer is formed on an outer surface of the metallic core portion, and the electrical insulating layer is covered with a flexible sleeve. A power supply means is constituted of the metallic core portion, the flexible sleeve, a power source and a switch.

Disclosed herein is a TDMA processing apparatus suitable for use in communication equipment for performing a communications service of a TDMA system. The TDMA processing apparatus can be reduced in size and manufactured at a low cost. The TDMA processing apparatus includes a one-chip microcomputer, which has a timer unit to which a preset value corresponding to each control-signal outputting timing as viewed from a reference point is set and for counting input reference clock pulses so as to make an interrupt request when the count reaches a preset value. In addition, the TDMA processing apparatus generates a control signal in response to the interrupt request.
