There is also provided a system for capturing carbon dioxide in a flue gas, a method for extracting nitrogen from a flue gas, and a method for capturing carbon dioxide in a flue gas.

An electroplated steel wire segment-combined grinding wheel includes a base component for connecting an external device, and steel wire segments, wherein the steel wire segments are combined and assembled on the base component in a ring, and outer walls of the steel wire segments are plated with diamonds to form a grinding surface. The steel wire segments are combined and assembled mechanically on a support base, wherein the support base is a reusable tool, and replacing the grinding surface combined by the steel wire segments is convenient for reducing a renovation cost of the electroplated steel wire segment-combined grinding wheel. For the electroplated steel wire segment-combined grinding wheel, drainage channels are naturally formed between the steel wire segments and segment arcs, and thus, internally cooled type cooling and rapid chip removal are facilitated.

An information processing device includes: a mesh setting unit that sets a plurality of mesh zones in a captured image including a scattering range of a substance scattered during machining by a machine tool; an accepting unit that accepts a selection of one or more mesh zones corresponding to an area for removing the substance from the plurality of mesh zones; a substance recognition unit that recognizes a substance state in the mesh zones corresponding to the area with respect to the captured image; and a display instruction unit that instructs display of indicators based on the substance state recognized in the area in time series.

A powder coating plant for coating a workpiece with coating powder includes a booth, which receives the workpiece delivered via a floor conveyor. In addition, the powder coating plant has an upper spray applicator arrangement for spraying coating powder downward, and a lower spray applicator arrangement for spraying coating powder upward. The upper and the lower spray applicator arrangement are thereby oriented toward the same workpiece. In addition, a manipulator is provided, to which the upper and the lower spray applicator arrangement is fastened. The manipulator is formed such that the spray applicator arrangements can be moved at least in the transport direction of the workpiece by the manipulator.

An inverter system includes a converter, an inverter, a first switch SW1 that connects between the converter and an AC power source, a capacitor that smooths a DC power in a DC bus, a resistor Rr connected from a positive voltage side of the DC bus to ground, a second switch SW2 that connects between the resistor Rr and ground, and a controller that controls drive of the inverter system. The controller is configured to: after charging the capacitor, while the first switch SW1 is in an OFF state, turn on the second switch SW2 and obtain a first across voltage E.sub.R1 of the resistor Rx; turn on an element, among semiconductor elements of the inverter, that is connected to the negative voltage side of the DC bus, and then obtain a second across voltage E.sub.R2 of the resistor Rx; and inspect insulation resistance of a motor based on the across voltages E.sub.R1, E.sub.R2.

An abrasive waterjet system in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a cutting head, a catcher downstream from the cutting head, and a conveyance configured to carry slurry including abrasive material and liquid collected from the catcher toward the cutting head. The cutting head includes a jet-forming orifice and a mixing chamber downstream from the jet-forming orifice. The cutting head also includes a slurry inlet through which the mixing chamber receives slurry including abrasive material and liquid collected from the catcher. The abrasive waterjet system can be configured for substantially closed-loop recycling of wet abrasive material. This can be useful, for example, to increase abrasive material utilization efficiency and to decrease abrasive material disposal costs. These and/or other benefits may be realized both in the context of low pressure abrasive waterjet systems and in the context of high pressure abrasive waterjet systems.

A thread tap includes a shaft and teeth. The shaft includes helical passages from the threading end to the base end of the shaft. Each passage opens through an aperture in the threading end. A second tap includes a cap and the shaft includes an axially extending passage. The cap is coupled to the threading end and at least partially defines apertures in fluid communication with the passage and the exterior of the tap. A third tap includes teeth spaced apart by a plurality of linear flutes. The shaft includes a central passage and a plurality of flute passages. Each flute passage extends radially outward from a common location in the central passage to a corresponding one of the flutes. The central passage is closed to a terminal end of the threading end.
