Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric layer that covers the anode body, a first solid electrolyte layer that covers the dielectric layer, and a second solid electrolyte layer that covers the first solid electrolyte layer. The first solid electrolyte layer contains a first conductive polymer that includes polypyrrole as a basic skeleton. The second solid electrolyte layer contains a second conductive polymer that includes polythiophene as a basic skeleton. The second solid electrolyte layer has a thickness of 1 ?m or more.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling horizontal translational motion of a rocket without changing the attitude of the body and without increasing manufacturing costs and operation costs. This allows for accurate execution of rocket landing operation. A rocket control system includes a gimbal actuator that controls a steering angle of a gimbal mechanism located on a lower side of the body of the rocket with respect to the center of gravity; a fin actuator that controls a steering angle of an attitude control fin located on an upper side of the body of the rocket with respect to the center of gravity; a measurement unit that measures a physical quantity related to motion of the body of the rocket and a control unit that controls the gimbal mechanism and the attitude control fin according to a result of measurement by the measurement unit to control horizontal translational motion of the rocket.

Abstract: A drainless air conditioner performs an air conditioning process on mixed air, which is a mixture of some indoor air and outdoor air. A first adsorptive heat exchanger and a second adsorptive heat exchanger are capable of performing a humidity conditioning process on the air. An air heat exchanger is capable of exchanging heat between the air and a fluid after it has undergone a heat treatment by a heat source. The outdoor air undergoes a humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger or the second adsorptive heat exchanger and becomes the mixed together with some of the indoor air. The air heat exchanger exchanges heat between the mixed air and a fluid. Exhaust air undergoes the humidity conditioning process by the first adsorptive heat exchanger or the second adsorptive heat exchanger and is subsequently delivered to the outdoor space.

Such a zirconium-base alloy for nuclear reactors comprises 0.5-2 wt. % Sn, 0.07-0.6 wt. % Fe, 0.03-0.2 wt. % Ni, 0.05-0.2 wt. % Cr, and the balance being zirconium and unavoidable impurities, wherein the Fe content (X wt. %) of the zirconium-base alloy and the mean size (Y nm) of precipitates in the zirconium-base alloy are present in a region on the x (Fe content X) and y (mean precipitate size) rectangular coordinates, surrounded by the following five lines: i) Y=−444×X+154, ii) Y=910×X−46, iii) Y=0, iv) Y=300, and v) X=0.6.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved nuclear fuel pellets having high thermal conductivity for use in an LWR. This can be achieved by creating a continuous deposition phase of high-thermal conductivity substances in the grain boundaries in the pellets. As a result, the temperature in the center of the fuel rod can be significantly reduced, and the discharge amount of gases generated on the nuclear fission can be efficiently reduced.The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing the above-described nuclear fuel pellets.
