Abstract: A problem is to solve problems on removal of solids by a screen and on an installation space and pipe connection in a separator. A solution to the problem is as follows. A separator 1, which is a device for separating solids contained in influent liquid, has a separation tank 2; a partition plate 5 partitioning an inside space of the separation tank 2 into an inflow chamber 3 and an outflow chamber 4; a screen 8 provided at the partition plate 5; a liquid inlet 6 formed at the inflow chamber 3; and a discharge outlet 7 formed at the outflow chamber 4; the inflow chamber 3 is provided with a guide unit 9, 10, 10a for forming a vertical swirling flow in the inflow chamber 3 by reversing the influent liquid from the liquid inlet 6; the screen 8 is disposed along a side face of the swirling flow thus formed. This configuration permits the solids to be removed, without clogging the screen with the solids.

Abstract: There is provided a circuit module, including: a circuit substrate including a mount surface; a mounting component mounted on the mount surface; a sealing body that is formed on the mount surface, covers the mounting component, and includes a trench formed from a main surface of the sealing body toward the mount surface, the trench including a first trench portion extending in one of a parallel direction and an orthogonal direction with respect to a direction parallel to the main surface and a second trench portion that is connected to the first trench portion, is parallel to the main surface, and extends in a direction that is not parallel nor orthogonal to the first trench portion; and a shield that covers the sealing body and includes an inner shield portion formed inside the trench and an outer shield portion provided on the main surface and the inner shield portion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a safe and inexpensive antioxidative composition being able to produce from relatively inexpensive raw material originated from natural resources, the antioxidative composition being excellent in effective antioxidation for a raw material for feed and food. This antioxidative composition comprises a distillate obtained from a production process of a vegetable oil, an oil-soluble-electron donor component and a viscosity reducing agent having a liquid oil derived form a plant.

Abstract: A filler sand for a ladle tap hole valve contains 45 to 55 mass % of zircon sand, 30 to 40 mass % of chromite sand and 10 to 20 mass % of silica sand and is blended externally with 0.05 to 5 mass % of carbon black calculated based on the total amount of the sands; or contains 30 to 90 mass % of chromite sand and 10 to 70 mass % of silica sand and is optionally blended externally with 0.05 to 5 mass % of carbon black, wherein 95 mass % or more of the chromite sand consists of particles having diameters falling within a range of 150 to 850 &mgr;m, 60 mass % or more of the chromite sand consists of particles having diameters falling within a range of 212 to 600 &mgr;m, 95 mass % or more of the silica sand consists of particles having diameters falling within a range of 300 to 1180 &mgr;m, and 90 mass % or more of the silica sand consists of particles having diameters falling within a range of 600 to 1180 &mgr;m.

Abstract: A thin film of a superconductor comprising composite metal oxides is formed by atomizing and spraying a homogeneous solution or solutions containing as solutes one or more of metal compounds capable of forming the superconductor, with an ultrasonic wave sprayer, onto a hot substrate to form the thin film, and the ultrasonic wave sprayer for forming the thin film of the superconductor comprises an ultrasonic wave-generating vibrator, feedstock supplier, atomized solution-escaping inhibitor, substrate supporter and heater, the ultrasonic wave-generating vibrator being connected through an axis to a solution-atomizing nozzle.
