  • Patent number: 12147125
    Abstract: There is provided a liquid crystal panel provided with a display region and a frame region and including a first substrate and a second substrate disposed facing the first substrate. In the display region, a liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. In the frame region, a sealing portion is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a first support substrate and a first substrate-side insulating layer contacting the first support substrate in order toward the liquid crystal layer side. The second substrate includes a protrusion protruding to the liquid crystal layer side. The first substrate-side insulating layer includes a first thickness portion having a flat surface on the liquid crystal layer side, and a second thickness portion protruding to the liquid crystal layer side relative to the first thickness portion and disposed to face the protrusion.

  • Patent number: 8900456
    Abstract: A method of treating wastewater containing an organic compound includes feeding wastewater to an anoxic tank, adding compounds containing nitrogen and phosphorus components to wastewater, performing anaerobic treatment on wastewater, and discharging treated wastewater as pre-treated water; introducing pre-treated water into an anaerobic treatment tank, performing anaerobic treatment on pre-treated water, thereby decomposing the organic compound into organic compounds of smaller molecular size and a mixture gas containing methane and carbon dioxide, and discharging treated water as primary water; introducing primary water into an aerobic treatment tank, performing aerobic treatment on primary water, and discharging treated water through a solid-liquid separator as secondary water; and introducing at least a part of secondary water into a reverse osmosis membrane separation unit, and separating part of secondary water into RO permeated water and RO concentrated brine, wherein at least a part of RO concentrated

  • Publication number: 20110132900
    Abstract: Information means 100 that displays operation and setting information or operation conditions information input from operation means has a display face of information overlapped for plurality of layers. Information displayed on the display face is formed of segments. Segments are arranged in such a way that segments provided for displaying information do not overlap when displaying information on the display faces of a different layer simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 4957868
    Abstract: A cylindrical hollow carrier for microorganisms is prepared by subjecting a nonwoven fabric having a specific gravity of not greater than 1.0 to a surface smoothing treatment at an elevated temperature of 200.degree. to 450.degree. C., then pressing with a roller to give the nonwoven fabric a thickness of 1 to 5 mm and a weight per unit area of 30 to 300 mg/cm.sup.2 and then forming the nonwoven fabrics into a cylindrical hollow shape. The carrier has a compression weight of not less than 400 g, and preferably an outer diameter of about 25 to 100 mm and a length of about 40 to 60 mm. The nonwoven fabric may be formed of 35 to 90% fibers of 50 to 600 denier and 10 to 65% fibers of 20 to 1 denier.
