  • Patent number: 11955283
    Abstract: A dielectric ceramic composition includes a barium titanate, an oxide of an R element, an oxide of an M element, and an oxide containing Si. The R element is one or more elements selected from Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Y, Ho, and Yb. The M element is one or more elements selected from Mg, Ca, Mn, V, and Cr. A ratio of an amount of the oxide of the R element in terms of R2O3 to an amount of the oxide containing Si in terms of SiO2 is 0.8:1 to 2.2:1. A ratio of an amount of the oxide of the M element in terms of MO to the amount of the oxide containing Si in terms of SiO2 is 0.2:1 to 1.8:1.50% or more of the number of dielectric particles constituting the dielectric ceramic composition is core-shell dielectric particles having a core-shell structure.

  • Publication number: 20240047136
    Abstract: A multilayer electronic device includes an element body and a pair of external electrodes. The element body includes an interior region in which inner dielectric layers and internal electrode layers are alternately laminated and an exterior region located outside the interior region in its lamination direction. The pair of external electrodes exists on surfaces of the element body. Main-phase particles in the inner dielectric layers and outer dielectric layers of the exterior region include a main component having a perovskite crystal structure represented by a general formula of ABO3. r1<r2<r1×4.0 is satisfied, in which r1 is an average particle size of the main-phase particles constituting the inner dielectric layers, and r2 is an average particle size of the main-phase particles constituting the outer dielectric layers.

    Abstract: A dielectric composition includes a main phase and segregation phases each including RE (at least one rare earth element). The main phase includes a main component having a perovskite crystal structure of ABO3 (A is one or more selected from Ba, Sr, and Ca, and B is one or more selected from Ti, Zr, and Hf). The segregation phases are classified into first segregation phases whose atomic ratio of Si to RE is 0 or more and 0.20 or less and second segregation phases whose atomic ratio of Si to the RE is more than 0.20. 0?S1/S2?0.10 is satisfied on a cross section of the dielectric composition, where S1 is an area ratio of the first segregation phases, and S2 is an area ratio of the second segregation phases. An atomic ratio of Si to RE in the second segregation phases is 0.80 or less on average.

  • Patent number: 10370719
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of collecting exosomes and microvesicles (EMV) from urine and isolating corresponding mRNA in order to diagnose and treat acute kidney injury (AKI). In particular, certain embodiments relate to the method of capturing EMV from urine applied to a filter device that is capable of capturing EMV. Nucleic acids such as mRNA can be isolated from the EMV using an oligo(dT)-coated plate designed to accommodate the filter device and then used for further molecular analysis.
