  • Publication number: 20110163827
    Abstract: To suppress changes in capacitance due to displacement between electrodes opposing each other across a dielectric layer, thereby allowing stable manufacturing of a capacitance device having a desired capacitance. The capacitance device according to the present invention is of a configuration including a dielectric layer (10), a first electrode (11) formed on a predetermined surface (10a) of the dielectric layer (10), and a second electrode (12) formed on a surface (10b) on the opposite side of the dielectric layer (10) from the predetermined surface (10a). The forms of the first and second electrodes (11, 12) are set so that even in the event that the first electrode (11) is relatively displaced regarding position in a predetermined direction as to the second electrode (12), the area of the opposing-electrode region between the first electrode (11) and to the second electrode (12) is unchanged.

  • Patent number: 7147828
    Abstract: A reactor comprising a reacting vessel 31 that contains a fluid including high temperature and high pressure water under target reaction temperature and reaction pressure condition and performs a reaction treatment to a reactant by the fluid, a first pipe 25 connected to the reacting vessel 31 to supply the reactant to the reacting vessel 31, and a first partition means 50 for partitioning between first pipe 25 and the reacting vessel 31 so as to prevent a leakage of any one of the fluid, the reactant, and a reaction product from the reacting vessel 31 side to the first pipe 25 side. The first partition means 50 is comprised of for example a valve 51, a shaft 52, a weight 53, a supporting member 54, and a pipe 55, and normally, due to the weight 53, the valve 51 closes an opening of a bottom end of the pipe 55. That is, it isolates the pipe 55 and the inside of the reacting vessel 31.
