  • Publication number: 20240079184
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element. The capacitor element includes an anode foil including a base material part and a porous part disposed on a surface of the base material part, a dielectric layer disposed on at least a part of a surface of the anode foil, a solid electrolyte layer covering at least a part of the dielectric layer, and a cathode lead-out layer covering at least a part of the solid electrolyte layer. The anode foil includes an anode section on which the solid electrolyte layer is not disposed, a cathode formation section on which the solid electrolyte layer is disposed, and a separation section located between the anode section and the cathode formation section. A first insulating material is disposed on a surface of the porous part in the separation section. And at least a part of a region of the porous part that is covered with the first insulating material includes a second insulating material.

  • Patent number: 10289474
    Abstract: In a fixing system, a first terminal device transmits information about a trouble in a target device to a server, receives information for restoration of the target device, and operates a measuring instrument for measurement on the target device to measure the state of the target device based on the information for restoration of the target device. The server receives the information about the trouble, and refers to a fixing know-how database to analyze the trouble. The fixing know-how database contains know-how information about fixing of the target device. The server selects information required for fixing from information for restoration specified based on a result of the analysis by a trouble analyzing unit so as to comply with a selection condition set in advance, and transmits the selected information to the first terminal device.
