  • Publication number: 20240120142
    Abstract: The electronic component includes an element body, an internal conductor, a cover layer, and a conductor layer. The internal conductor is disposed in the element body. The cover layer is disposed on an outer surface of the element body and has an electrical insulation property. The conductor layer is disposed on the cover layer and is electrically connected to the internal conductor. The conductor layer includes a portion. The portion protrudes toward the element body through the cover layer and is physically and electrically connected to the internal conductor. The conductor layer is electrically connected to the internal conductor.

  • Publication number: 20240102879
    Abstract: A liquid leakage detection system that detects a liquid includes: a liquid leakage sensor including a first detector that detects adhesion of the liquid based on a change in impedance between a first electrode and a second electrode; and a control device that acquires information including the impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode, wherein the liquid leakage sensor includes a heater that heats the first electrode and the second electrode, and wherein the control device determines whether or not liquid leakage or dew condensation has occurred based on the impedance between the first electrode and the second electrode that are in a state of being heated by the heater, and notifies the determination result.

  • Patent number: 11936044
    Abstract: A carbon material for a non-aqueous secondary battery containing a graphite capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, and having a cumulative pore volume at pore diameters in a range of 0.01 ?m to 1 ?m of 0.08 mL/g or more, a roundness, as determined by flow-type particle image analysis, of 0.88 or greater, and a pore diameter to particle diameter ratio (PD/d50 (%)) of 1.8 or less, the ratio being given by equation (1A): PD/d50 (%)=mode pore diameter (PD) in a pore diameter range of 0.01 ?m to 1 ?m in a pore distribution determined by mercury intrusion/volume-based average particle diameter (d50)×100 is provided.

  • Patent number: 10043262
    Abstract: An abnormal image detection device includes a reliability determination part that determines whether or not each pixel of a parallax image has a low reliability. The reliability determination part has an edge intensity determination section. For each respective pixel of original images, the edge intensity determination section determines whether or not the respective pixel is smaller than or equal to a threshold value, and if the respective pixel is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, the reliability determination part determines that a corresponding one of the pixels in the parallax image, which corresponds to the respective pixel, is a pixel having the low reliability. A computation part computes a total number of pixels of the parallax image that each has the low reliability. An abnormality determination part that when the total number of pixels exceeds a predetermined value, determines that the parallax image is abnormal.

  • Patent number: 6489469
    Abstract: A method for the storage or transportation of an erythritol by maintaining erythritol in the form of a solution at a concentration and at a temperature in given ranges. Setting up such conditions enables long-term storage of an erythritol solution or transportation of erythritol to the destination in a state of a solution.
