Abstract: It is determined whether an imaginary component at a predetermined frequency of an alternating current impedance is equal to or more than a preliminarily set film-formable value or not. The metallic coating is formed in a state where the substrate is pressed by the solid electrolyte membrane when the imaginary component is equal to or more than the film-formable value in the determining. The metallic coating is formed in a state where the pressing of the substrate by the solid electrolyte membrane is released to separate the solid electrolyte membrane from the substrate, the solid electrolyte membrane is re-tensioned with a constant tensile force, and subsequently, the substrate is pressed by the re-tensioned solid electrolyte membrane when the imaginary component is smaller than the film-formable value in the determining.

The main duct portion 20 has a merging portion 50, a discharge opening 21, and an extending portion 40 that extends from the merging portion 50 towards an opposite end to the discharge opening 20. A reflecting wall 41 is provided at an end face of the extending portion 40.

Abstract: A motor comprising a stator having a plurality of magnetic poles disposed in a circumferential direction along an outer periphery thereof, a rotor disposed rotatably around the outer periphery of the stator, and a magnet disposed in a circumferential direction along an inner periphery of the rotor. The stator is formed by laminating sheet-like plates. A plurality of the sheet-like plates including an outermost layer of this laminated body comprises a flat portion substantially perpendicular to the magnet, and an extended portion bent to a direction substantially parallel to the magnet. A part of the sheet-like plate having the extended portion disposed to the outermost side is formed into a thickness smaller than thicknesses of the other parts.

Abstract: A reactor comprises a main body having a flow path substrate and a crystal substrate chemically bonded to the flow path substrate to form a flow path for running a sample to be measured and a reactor tank connected to the flow path. An adsorption film is disposed in the reactor tank for adsorbing a specific substance contained in the sample to be measured. A measuring device measures a physical quantity of the specific substance contained in the sample and adsorbed by the adsorption film.

Abstract: A motor comprises a stator having a plurality of magnetic poles disposed at first predetermined intervals along an outer periphery thereof, and a rotor having a permanent magnet with poles magnetized alternately to have different polarities at second predetermined intervals and disposed rotatably around the outer periphery of the stator with a predetermined gap. The magnetic poles of the stator has extended portions formed in a manner to extend from magnetic polar bases into a direction generally parallel to the permanent magnet, and the extended portions are formed of a high-permeability magnetic steel sheet with silicon content less than 3.0 wt-%.

Abstract: In order to provide a reactor, a micro reactor chip, and a micro reactor system which can maintain high sensitivity without residual stresses on a crystal oscillator and unwanted oscillation modes, both surfaces of an AT-cut crystal plate 100 is deposited or sputtered with gold to prepare a detection electrode 601, an opposite electrode 602, and wiring to both electrodes. A resist is then formed on a cleaned silicon wafer. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is then poured onto the silicon wafer and allowed to cure. The PDMS is then peeled from the silicon wafer to form a groove 500 in the PDMS. The PDMS is then laid on the crystal plate. When the crystal substrate side is then irradiate with ultraviolet light the silicon-carbon bond between the crystal and the PDMS is cut, thus causing the crystal and the PDMS to bond to each other by means of a siloxane bond. The liquid introduction port and the liquid discharge port are then cut to form the reactor.

Abstract: In order to make it possible to predict a dissociation constant at an initial stage of reaction, a concentration sensor for a sample is provided on a downstream side of a mass sensor. This makes it possible to learn concentration of a sample solution at the time when a mass is detected by the mass sensor. When the concentration and the mass are substituted in a predetermined logical expression, it is possible to obtain a predicted value of a dissociation constant. The concentration sensor is a capacitor constituted by electrodes opposed to each other. Since a dielectric constant changes when analytes are present between the electrodes, it is possible to detect analyte concentration according to the dielectric constant. Since it is possible to reduce a size of the capacitor, it is possible to keep a size of a micro-reactor small. Note that the mass sensor outputs a resonance frequency of a quartz resonator. A measuring apparatus can calculate a mass from transition of this frequency.

A self cooling fan (15) disposed close to and in an opposed relation to a top face of a rotor frame (11) has a peripheral-face opening (16), and an electronic component or a radiator attached with the electronic component is located in the course of a flow passage (17) of cooling air guidedly discharged from the peripheral-face opening (16).
