| 20100324779 | ONBOARD UNIT CONTROLLING APPARATUS - When an occupant's sight line detected by sight line detector is directed to any one of multiple onboard units (a side mirror, a rear view mirror, a navigation system, an in-vehicle phone, an air blowout port, and a meter panel), a controller allows the onboard unit, to which the sight line is directed, to be operable. Thus, the occupant can select the onboard unit, which the occupant wishes to operate, by the sight line without using the hand and further can operate the onboard unit by use of a common steering switch, thereby enhancing the convenience of operation. In addition, a corresponding one of pilot lamps notifies the occupant that the corresponding one of the onboard units, to which the sight line is directed, is operable. Accordingly, the occupant can avoid operating a wrong onboard unit while reliably recognizing the operable onboard unit even if the multiple onboard units are arranged close to one another. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20100067645 | REFLECTOR SYSTEM OF FAST REACTOR - A reflector system of a fast reactor according to the present invention comprises a reflector having a neutron reflecting portion reflecting a neutron radiated from a reactor core, and a cavity portion provided above the neutron reflecting portion and having a lower neutron reflecting capacity than a coolant, and a reflector drive apparatus coupled to the reflector and moving the reflector in a vertical direction. The reflector drive apparatus has a driving portion which is coupled to the reflector via a drive shaft, and drives the reflector up and down, and a load sensing portion which is provided between the driving portion and the drive shaft, and senses a load of the reflector. A detecting portion receiving a load signal from the load sensing portion so as to detect a breakage of the cavity portion of the reflector is connected to the load sensing portion. | 03-18-2010 |

| 20090101876 | Opening/Closing Device for Manhole Cover - An opening and closing apparatus of a manhole cover has a simple structure and by which opening and closing operation of a cover can be performed safely by a worker alone. An opening and closing apparatus of a manhole cover has such a configuration that the manhole cover is openably and closably coupled to an opening portion of a supporting frame via a rotational joining portion. A hydraulic jack in which a plunger pump is driven by a manual lever raises a ram and the ram lowers due to releasing of an oil returning valve attached on the supporting frame near the rotational joining portion such that the hydraulic jack is rotatable at a lower end portion thereof, and the hydraulic jack and an engagement member fixed attachably to and detachably from the manhole cover are coupled to each other by a pulling member. | 04-23-2009 |
