Abstract: A power converter includes a capacitor and a substrate on which a plurality of switching elements for power conversion are mounted. The power converter includes a cooler for cooling the plurality of switching elements and a housing that accommodates the capacitor, the substrate, and the cooler. The power converter includes a power connector exposed from the housing and an output connector exposed from the housing. The power converter includes a plurality of lines that include a plurality of power lines each electrically connected to the capacitor, given switching elements, and the power connector. The plurality of lines include a plurality of output lines each electrically connected to given switching elements and the output connector. At least one among the plurality of lines is a line that includes a conductive pattern formed on the substrate.

Abstract: A power converter includes a positive busbar electrically connected to a positive terminal and the first capacitor electrode, and includes a negative busbar electrically connected to a negative terminal and the second capacitor electrode. The power converter includes output busbars each electrically connected to a given output terminal among multiple output terminals, a given high-side switching element among a plurality of high-side switching elements, and a given low-side switching element among a plurality of low-side switching elements. The power converter includes a cooler that cools the high-side switching elements and the low-side switching elements. The power converter includes a housing that accommodates a supply tube and a discharge tube. The positive terminal, the negative terminal, the output terminals, the inlet port, and the outlet port are exposed on the housing. The inlet port, the outlet port, the supply tube, and the discharge tube are separate members from the housing.

Abstract: A railway vehicle gear unit that is constituted by accommodating, in a gearbox, a large gear that is fixed to an axle provided on a truck frame and that engages with a small gear to transmit a torque, and the small gear, wherein on the inner surface of the gearbox in the circumferential direction of the large gear, a water removing device that removes water included in lubricant oil within the gearbox is installed, and the water removing device is arranged in an empty space formed above an extended line of a line connecting the axle and a small-gear shaft or is arranged in an empty space formed below the extended line of the line connecting the axle and the small-gear shaft.

Abstract: This invention concerns antimicrobial compositions that are useful for industrial applications. More specifically, it concerns antimicrobial compositions that, by combining 3-benzo[b]thiene-2-yl-5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-oxathiazine-4-oxide and one or more of 1-[[(3-iodo-2-propynyl)oxy]methoxy]-4-methoxy benzene, 1-chloro-4-[[(3-iodo-2-propynyl)oxy]methoxy] benzene, Zinc 2-pyridine thiol-1-oxide, Copper 2-pyridine thiol-1-oxide, 2-pyridine thiol-1-oxide sodium salt, 2,2-dithio-bis(pyridine-1-oxide), 2-methylthio-4-t-butyl amino-6-cyclopropyl amino-s-triazine, 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC), 2-(n-octyl)-3(2H)-isothiazolone (OIT), 4,5-dichloro-2-(n-octyl)-3(2H)-isothiazolone (DCOIT), 2,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,3-benzenedicarbonitrile (chlorothalonil), 1,1-dichloro-N-[(dimethylamino)sulfonyl]-1-fluoro-N-phenyl-methanesulfenamide (dichlofluanid), or 1,1-dichloro-N-[(dimethylamino)sulfonyl]-1-fluoro-N-(4-methylphenyl)-methanesulfenamide (tolylfluanid) have the synergistic effect of these compounds.
