A hydrogen-permeable membrane includes a metal base layer containing a Group VA element, two metal middle layers which are formed on both of the two sides of the metal base layer and containg an element selected from Ni and Co, and two metal coating layers formed on the side of the two metal middle layers, on which the metal base layer is not formed, and containing Pd. The registration engine generates a correlation map between the complex image pair for relative translation by calculating an inverse of the complex conjugate product of the frequency data of the first image and the frequency domain data of the second, corresponding, image. The sealing bar assembly is pneumatically reciprocated between a raised, disengaged position and a lowered position with the sealing bar engaging the neck of a bag for hermetically sealing same. The fan is driven at a first rotational speed of N1, during which the oxidation catalyst carrying body is warmed up, and a second rotational speed of N2, during which carrier vapors are heated and resolved.
