  • Patent number: 11447323
    Abstract: A package includes a storage portion that stores an object to be stored, and a buffer portion that reduces a gap generated between the object to be stored and the storage portion. The storage portion includes a bottom and a lid facing the bottom, and the buffer portion includes a base facing the object to be stored in a stacking direction from the bottom toward the lid, a first fold, and a space adjusting portion connected to the base at the first fold. The space adjusting portion includes an adjusting region extending in the stacking direction, a plurality of second folds distributed in a first direction intersecting the first fold, and a contact region connected to the adjusting region at one of the plurality of second folds.

  • Patent number: 8674234
    Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor has an element body formed by alternately laminating a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of inner electrodes. On a substrate having a mounting surface provided with at least two lands, the multilayer ceramic capacitor is mounted such that the inner electrodes are parallel to the mounting surface. A multilayer ceramic capacitor mounting structure satisfies Tf/T>0.1 and 300??r?2800, where T is the height of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, Tf is the outer covering thickness of the element body, and ?r is the relative permittivity of the dielectric layers, and 0.6?Wp/W?1.0, where W is the width of the multilayer ceramic capacitor, and Wp is the size of the land in a direction corresponding to the width of the multilayer ceramic capacitor.

  • Patent number: 8466615
    Abstract: An EL element 1 comprises EL functional layers 6, 10 comprising Ga2O3:Eu between a thick film insulator layer 16 and an upper electrode 12 provided on a substrate 2 on which a lower electrode 4 was formed and a light-emitting layer 8 comprising MgGa2O4 formed therebetween. The EL functional layers 6, 10 have the dual functions of insulating layers and electron doping layers. Due to this, the EL element 1 has a low drive voltage and high light-emitting brightness, and the structure of the EL element is simplified.
