Abstract: An electronic component that includes an electronic component body, sealing members sealing the electronic component body, and adhesive layers which adhere the electronic component body and the sealing members, respectively. Between the electronic component body and the sealing members, sealed spaces are formed, respectively. The adhesive layers each contain organic fillers and inorganic fillers. The organic fillers are in contact with both the electronic component body and the sealing members. The inorganic fillers each have a minimum particle diameter smaller than the thickness of each of the adhesive layers. When the adhesive layers are viewed in a thickness direction thereof, the inorganic fillers are provided between the organic fillers and the electronic component body and between the organic fillers and each of the sealing members.

Abstract: A dust remover includes a rotary brush which removes dust attached to a workpiece, a workpiece carrying section which carries the workpiece in a direction crossing the axial direction of the rotary brush, a brush rotating section which rotates the rotary brush around the axial center of the rotary brush, and a brush back-and-forth movement section which moves the rotary brush back and forth in the axial direction of the rotary brush. The dust remover also includes a motor which is a common driving source for both the brush rotating section and the brush back-and-forth movement section. The brush rotating section has a power transmitting section which transmits the power of the motor to the rotary brush as a rotation of the rotary brush, and the brush back-and-forth movement section has a power transmitting section which converts the power of the motor into a back-and-forth movement of the rotary brush to transmit the back-and-forth movement to the rotary brush.

Abstract: A liquid send/receive joint device that has a simplified configuration, is composed of a small number of components, is of small size, and can be manufactured at low cost and prevent liquid leakage, is provided; and a fuel cell system equipped with such a liquid send/receive joint device is also provided.

Abstract: A liquid send/receive joint device that releases pressure on a false connection prevention key and prevents breakage of the false connection prevention key when a rotary force of a predetermined level or greater is applied to the liquid send/receive joint device while a liquid accepter and a liquid reservoir are connected to each other, is provided. A fuel cell system equipped with such a liquid send/receive joint device is also provided. The liquid send/receive joint device includes: a first joint member 10 having a male joint part 14; and a second joint member 50 that has a female joint part 54 to receive the male joint part 14 and is connected to the first joint member 10. The female joint part 54 has ribs 68A to 68D that are inserted into spaces between adjacent engagement protrusions 16A to 16D of the male joint part 14 when the female joint part 54 receives the male joint part 14.

Abstract: A fluid supply container that can continuously apply pressure to a fluid stored therein and enhance the supply rate of the fluid to a liquid acceptor is provided. Also, a fuel cell system including the fluid supply container is provided. A fluid supply container 1 includes a fluid storage unit 20 and a pressurizing mechanism 30 for pressurizing the fluid storage unit 20 and supplies a fluid stored in the fluid storage unit 20 to a fluid acceptor. The fluid storage unit 20 includes a first storage chamber 21 and a second storage chamber 22 defined by a flexible member 23 and connected to the first storage chamber 21 so as to allow the fluid to flow to/from the first storage chamber 21. The flexible member 23 is reversed by means of pressurization by the pressurizing mechanism 30 so that the flexible member 23 enters the first storage chamber 21, thereby reducing the volume of the fluid storage unit 20 storing the fluid. The fuel cell system uses this fluid supply container 1.

Abstract: A liquid send/receive joint device that allows for a wide range of connection positions of a liquid reservoir and a liquid accepter when they are connected, that can always maintain a good connection between the liquid reservoir and the liquid accepter, and that can send/receive a liquid safely and with certainty; and a fuel cell system equipped with this liquid send/receive joint device. A liquid send/receive joint device 1 includes: a reservoir-side joint member 10 that can be attached to a liquid reservoir 100; and an accepter-side joint member 50 that can be attached to a liquid accepter 200 and connected to the reservoir-side joint member 10 in such a manner that the accepter-side joint member 50 can be attached to or detached from the reservoir-side joint member 10 whenever necessary; wherein the reservoir-side joint member 10 and the accepter-side joint member 50 are connected to each other via a spherical joint mechanism.

Abstract: An equipment adjusting leg is provided which is lightweight and which can achieve cost reduction without decreasing impact-resistant strength. The impact-resistant strength is secured and the light weight is achieved by the structure of the equipment adjusting leg, which comprises: a leg 10 which is provided in the lower part of an external frame of the equipment in a manner capable of moving up and down, and of which lower part is formed as a ground contact part 16 and of which upper part is formed as a sliding shaft 17 with a concavo-convex part 18 like, for example, a screw, provided around the periphery of the sliding shaft 17; an element for locking the up-and-down movements of the leg; and an element for releasing the lock; wherein the sliding shaft 17 of the leg 10 is constructed by using a resin with excellent mechanical strength, such as polycarbonate, to construct a peripheral part, and by using an elongated metallic member (a metal shaft 24) as a core.

Abstract: An equipment adjusting leg is provided concerning which the engagement of a concavo-convex part of a screw of the leg with a locking element is barely loosened when a fine adjustment is made. The adjusting leg comprises: a leg 10 which is provided in the lower part of an external frame of the equipment in a manner capable of moving up and down, and the lower part of which is formed as a ground contact part 16 and the upper part of which is formed as a sliding shaft 17 with a screw-like concavo-convex part 18 provided around its periphery; an element for locking the up-and-down movements of the leg; and an element for releasing the lock; wherein the concavo-convex part 18 of the leg 10 is formed in a trapezoidal shape so that the engagement of the concavo-convex part of the screw of the leg 10 with the locking element is barely loosened when a fine adjustment is made.
