摘要:
Methods and apparatus are provided for inhibiting data writing to an optical disc drive connected to a computer. A BIOS confirms presence of a security function of an optical disc drive. When the optical disc drive possesses the security function, the BIOS delivers a command to the optical disc drive to set it to a read-only mode. The optical disc drive that has received the command sets the drive per se to operate in the read-only mode. Since a command for setting it to the read-only mode and a command for releasing it are delivered to the optical disc drive only by the BIOS, when a control is transferred to an Operating System (OS), setting of the read-only mode cannot be released by the OS and other OS's, or application software.

A gas turbine includes a nozzle vane and a sealing unit engaged with the nozzle vane inside a turbine supplied with combustion gases produced by mixing and burning air for combustion and fuel. The nozzle vane and the sealing unit are disposed in a channel of the downward flowing combustion gases on the outlet side of a gas path. A plurality of engagement portions between the sealing unit and the nozzle vane are provided successively from the upstream side toward the downstream side in a direction of flow of the combustion gases, and a downstream one of the plurality of engagement portions has a contact interface formed in a direction across a turbine rotary shaft. A reduction in the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine can be suppressed.

A power supply equipment (71) for natural gas liquefaction plant that supplies power to a natural gas liquefaction plant for liquefying the natural gas having impurities separated by a natural gas purification equipment (70). The power supply equipment comprises an air compressor (74); a combustion unit (75) for burning fuel with compressed air from the compressor to thereby generate a combustion gas; a gas turbine equipment (72) having a turbine rotated by the combustion gas from the combustion unit; and a cold heat source supply system (85) for, during the rated load operation of the gas turbine equipment, supplying carbon dioxide separated from the natural gas by the natural gas purification equipment to the gas turbine equipment as a cooling medium for the gas turbine equipment. Accordingly, high-temperature parts of the gas turbine equipment can be satisfactorily cooled by the carbon dioxide from the cold heat source supply system to thereby attain an enhancement of reliability without detriment to the output and efficiency of the gas turbine equipment.

An advanced humid air turbine power plant capable of suppressing condensation of moisture in a cooling channel, which is provided to cool a high-temperature component of a gas turbine, in a start up stage, a coast down stage, and a load varying state of the gas turbine. In the advanced humid air turbine power plant comprising a compressed air supply line for supplying compressed air generated by a compressor to the high-temperature component of the gas turbine, and a humidified air supply line for supplying humidified air generated in a humidifying tower to the high-temperature component of the gas turbine, the power plant further comprises valves capable of adjusting respective air flow rates in the compressed air supply line and the humidified air supply line. A coolant is switched over from the compressed air to the humidified air in the start up stage and the load increasing stage of the gas turbine, and from the humidified air to the compressed air in the load decreasing stage and the coast down stage, as well as in the event of an abnormality in a humidifying line.

A disk drive includes an information processor 15 for reading out or writing information from or to the disk drive, a disk drive unit 11 for driving a disk 10, an access unit 12 for reading out or writing information from or to the disk 10, and a controller 13 for controlling the disk drive unit 11, and a disk controller 14. The disk drive is driven at a set drive speed. Format identification information is acquired from information recorded on the disk 10, and drive-speed information for the disk drive, determined from the acquired format identification information, is transmitted to control the speed of the disk.

A material having an internal cooling passage is provided which reduces a recirculation area to perform effective cooling. In the internal cooling passage formed in the material there is a wall surface provided with cooling ribs thereon to allow a cooling medium to flow along the wall surface, and the cooling ribs are arranged so that a portion of the cooling medium flowing in the vicinity of the center of the wall surface included in the cooling passage is allowed to flow toward both side edges of the wall surface and so that a portion of the cooling medium flowing on a surface of the cooling ribs moves to conform to the surface of the cooling ribs and flows to the wall surface.

A volumetric measurement apparatus is provided which measures the volume of a liquid material stored within a container. The volumetric measurement apparatus includes a reference enclosure having disposed therein a single pressure sensor. The pressure sensor has a pressure sensitive element exposed to both internal spaces of the reference enclosure and the container to detect a pressure difference between the container and the reference enclosure. A sensor shielding member is arranged in the reference enclosure to selectively shield the pressure sensitive element from the internal space of the reference enclosure to detect only a pressure within the container. The volumetric measurement is made based on the pressure difference between the container and the reference enclosure and the pressure in the container.
摘要:
A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, wherein a spill valve device operated by a piezoelectric unit is provided for carrying out a pressure pump spill operation when a fuel injection stroke is completed. The spill valve device includes a operating chamber connected to a sealed chamber of the piezoelectric unit, the sealed chamber being connected to a fuel supplementing passageway which is connected to a fuel passageway connecting a fuel tank with a fuel intake port of the pressure pump. The pressure pump is further provided with a spill passageway for discharging pressurized fuel in the pressure chamber via the fuel passageway. A check valve is provided in the fuel passageway to prevent a flow of the spilled fuel to the sealed chamber of the piezoelectric unit.
