Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a multilayer body including internal electrode layers and dielectric layers that are alternately laminated, main surfaces opposite to each other in a lamination direction, end surfaces opposite to each other in a length direction that intersects with the lamination direction, and side surfaces opposite to each other in a width direction that intersects with the lamination direction and the length direction, and external electrodes on the end surfaces. Each of the external electrodes includes a thickest portion at a position off-center in the width direction toward either one of the side surfaces, and the thickest portion is thicker in the length direction than a remainder of the external electrode.

Abstract: In a multilayer ceramic capacitor, a first external electrode includes a first base electrode layer connected to first internal electrodes and extending from a fifth surface to a first surface, a second base electrode layer connected to the first internal electrode and extending from a sixth surface to the first surface, a first resin electrode layer on the first base electrode layer, the first surface, and the second base electrode layer, and a first plated layer on the first resin electrode layer. The first surface includes a first region between a region where the first base electrode layer of the first external electrode is provided and a region where the second base electrode layer of the first external electrode is provided, and being a region where the first resin electrode layer is provided. The first region overlaps a middle portion of a multilayer body in a second direction.

Abstract: A magnetic field measuring apparatus includes a digital FLL circuit including ADC that converts a periodically changing voltage output from a SQUID according to a change in a magnetic field into a digital value, a digital integrator that integrates the digital value output from the ADC, a DAC that converts an integrated value output from the digital integrator into a voltage, a converter that converts the voltage output from the DAC into a current, and a coil that generates the magnetic field received by the SQUID, based on the current output from the converter. A calculating device calculates a digital value indicating a flux quantum based on the digital value output from the ADC when the ADC converts the periodically changing voltage output from the SQUID upon receiving the magnetic field generated by a current that is obtained by converting a voltage generated by a voltage generator.

Abstract: In a SQUID magnetometer, high resolution, a high slew rate, and a high dynamic range are achieved without using expensive circuit components having a large number of processing bits and enabling a high speed processing operation. A digital FLL circuit using a double counter system is provided. This circuit utilizes two or more counters, for example, a change range counter in a digital FLL for carrying out a processing operation at a high speed and a reproducing counter in a control/measuring computer. In addition, in the present invention, hysteresis characteristics having a 1?0 positive margin is used. That is, a change of a state of a magnetic flux is counted by means of a counter. At the time of this change, control is made so as to track a different channel between cases in which a magnetic flux increases and decreases, thereby stabilizing the control.
