Abstract: A probe pin having a bent portion at its tip end portion is used for a probe card, the probe pin is configured such that an angle constituted by a direction of work groove generated at a time of machine-working of a tip end portion of the probe pin and a longitudinal direction of a metal wire is set to 45 degree or less, or both directions are set to be almost parallel to each other. Due to above configuration, even if the tip end portion of the probe pin is subjected to a bending work and a worked surface is formed with recessed portion, a breakage of the probe pin caused by the recessed portion existing on the worked surface and functioning as a starting point of the breakage can be effectively prevented whereby a lowering of a production yield of the probe pin can be greatly suppressed.

The protein phosphatase inhibitor contains, as an active ingredient, a silicon compound represented by the following general formula (1) or a salt thereof, wherein R1, R2 and R3 are the same or different and represent a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms; X represents an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group having 3 to 36 carbon atoms or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group; and n represents an integer of 0 or 1.

Abstract: This invention provides a sintered electrode for a cold cathode tube in a cylindrical form having a bottom part on one end and an opening part on the other end, characterized in that a lead-in wire is joined integrally to the bottom part and a requirement of d2/d1>1 is satisfied wherein d1 represents the density of the sintered electrode; and d2 represents the density of the lead-in wire. According to the sintered electrode for a cold cathode tube, the bonding strength between the sintered electrode and the lead-in wire is high, and the handleability is good. The main component of the sintered electrode is particularly preferably identical to the main component of the lead-in wire. Enhancing the density of the lead-in wire can contribute to a further improvement, for example, in reliability.

Abstract: A low concentration (0.1 to 0.5 mM) of aluminum ions is added to an organic wastewater to selectively raise specific bacteria which can grow without producing unpleasant odors. The bacteria is used for treating the organic wastewater of high density without producing odors thus contributing to the minimum size of a wastewater treatment system. Then, increase of the aluminum ions to a high concentration (more than 4 mM) accelerates flocculation and precipitation of the bacteria for disposal. When a proper mineral is added to the wastewater, a lower concentration (more than 1 mM) of the aluminum ions can encourage the flocculation and precipitation of the bacteria and also, a resultant sludge will be reduced in amount for ease of maintenance.
