Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ionizer having a cleaning system for cleaning an electrode needle of the ionizer automatically or remotely, while also being compact in size. The cleaning system (6) has a rotating member (61) configured to coaxially rotate with the fan (3), a plurality of rods (62a to 62d) attached to the rotating member (61) such that each rod extends radially from the rotating member, and brushes (63a to 63d) each attached to the end of each rod. The rotating member (61) is driven by an electromagnetic solenoid (64) via a coupling means (66).

Abstract: To provide a wheeled moving body incorporating electrostatic protection measures and capable of constantly monitoring its grounding condition, and a grounding condition monitoring system for the same. An electrostatic conductive mat 14 on a cart 10 is connected to an electrostatic conductive wheel 12 for grounding, and one end of an ohm meter (or volt meter) 18 mounted on the cart 10 is connected to the electrostatic conductive mat 14, while the other end is grounded by connecting it to a conductive wheel 24 insulated from the cart 10 by an insulating plate 13.

Abstract: A laminate includes a plurality of first magnetic substances having a high magnetic permeability, and a plurality of second magnetic substances having a low magnetic permeability or non-magnetic substances. The second magnetic substances are located so that the inductance element in each of the first magnetic substances causes magnetic saturation in response to direct currents of substantially the same magnitude flowing therein.

Abstract: A laminate has a structure in which a plurality of first magnetic substances of a strong permeability, and a plurality of second magnetic substances of a low permeability or non-magnetic substances are laminated. The second magnetic substances are located so an inductance element in each of the first magnetic substances causes magnetic saturation to occur by direct currents of different magnitudes to provide a multilayer inductor having optional direct-current characteristics.

Abstract: A chip component such as chip resistor, which is capable of being mounted obversely or reversely to a substrate or the like. Since the color of the armor is adjusted so as to be green identical with that of a ceramics chip, the lightness distribution of the component front face is similar with that of the component back face. Therefore, there is no case that chip component mounted obversely and chip component mounted reversely are identified as different components in a testing step of detecting a positional deviation or unloaded component by a color or monochromatic image processing (digital image processing), even if the component is mounted reversely to a substrate or the like.
