Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that includes a resin molding including: a capacitor element laminate, the capacitor element laminate including a first layer and a second layer that are laminated together, the first layer includes a valve-action metal substrate exposed at a first end surface of the resin molding, the second layer includes an electrode lead-out layer exposed at a second end surface of the resin molding; an insulating substrate; and a sealing resin enclosing the capacitor element laminate; a first external electrode on a first end surface of the resin molding and connected to the valve-action metal substrate; a second external electrode on a second end surface of the resin molding and connected to the electrode lead-out layer; and a dummy layer not contributing to a capacity of the capacitor on a main surface of the capacitor element laminate in a lamination direction thereof and adjacent to the insulating substrate.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that includes a resin molding, a first external electrode, and a second external electrode. The resin molding includes a laminate of multiple capacitor elements, and a sealing resin sealing the laminate. The following are satisfied: t1<t2, t3<t4, t1<t3, and t4/t3<t2/t1, where t1 is the thickness of an inner portion of the cathode lead-out layer, the inner portion not being exposed at the second end surface; t2 is the thickness of an exposed portion of the cathode lead-out layer, the exposed portion being exposed at the second end surface; t3 is the thickness of an inner portion of the valve-action metal substrate, the inner portion not being exposed at the first end surface; and t4 is the thickness of an exposed portion of the valve-action metal substrate, the exposed portion being exposed at the first end surface.

Abstract: A toilet accessory (10) having readily detachable toilet seat (14) and toilet lid (16). A hinge shaft (74) is supported by a pair of posts (72) to protrude away from the housing (12). The hinge portions of the toilet seat and the toilet lid are provided with elastic collars (84) of C-shaped cross-section and are snap-fitted on the hinge shaft (74). When the toilet seat and the toilet lid are to be removed for washing or cleaning, they can be readily dismounted only by pulling with hands. To re-install, the hinge portions readily snap-fit on the hinge shaft by bringing the elastic collars (84) in contact with the hinge shaft (74) and by pressing down the hinge portions. Since the hinge shaft (74) and the posts (72) are exposed out of the housing (12), they can be easily accessed for cleaning.

Abstract: A planetary gear system has a driving sun gear, an internal gear fixed on a case concentrically with the sun gear, and a planetary carrier assembly having plural planetary gears pivotally supported on a carrier and engaged with the sun gear and the internal gear. The internal gear comprises a lamination of plural punched plates with internal teeth being in phase with each other.

Abstract: A spool valve has a valve housing with a valve bore formed therein, a spool having a land portion slidably accommodated in the valve bore, a control port formed within the valve housing, able to communicate with the valve bore, and opened and closed by the land portion, and an annular groove open at an inner peripheral surface of the valve bore and communicating with the control port. Part of the control port is open over the inner and outer parts, as taken in the widthwise direction, of the annular groove. The degree of opening of the port is variably controlled by the displacement of the land portion.

Abstract: A quinoline compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen or fluorine. A method of preparing the compound (I) is disclosed. The compound (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are useful as antimicrobial agents.

Abstract: N-(2-amino-5-nitrobenzoyl)-o-toluidine is condensed with fluoroacetic acid or a functional derivative thereof. N-(2-fluoroacetamido-5-nitrobenzoyl)-o-toluidine obtained by said condensation reaction is dehydrated to produce 2-fluoromethyl-3-(o-tolyl)-6-nitro-4(3H)-quniazolinone, which is then subjected to reduction reaction. 2-fluoromethyl-3-(o-tolyl)-6-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinone thus obtained and a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof are useful as central muscle relaxants, minor tranquilizers, anti-convulsants, analgesics and/or anti-inflammatory agents.
