Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the via conductor electrically connecting the coil layers adjacent to each other in the stacking direction of the element body protrudes from the coil region toward the side surface of the element body when viewed from the stacking direction of the element body. Therefore, the coil has a concave-convex portion. When a force is applied to the multi-layer coil component from the outside, the force is dispersed in the concave-convex portion of the coil, and thus defects are less likely to occur in the coil than in a coil in which the side of the side surfaces is flat.

Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the lead conductor is exposed from the end surface of the element body and is connected to the external electrode provided on the end surface. When the lead conductor is led out to the end surface of the element body, the lead area can be easily increased as compared with the case where the lead conductor is led out to the side surface of the element body. Therefore, by connecting the coil and the external electrode via the lead conductor, high connectivity between the coil and the external electrode is achieved.

The element body has a pair of end surfaces opposing each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The first coil and the second coil are disposed in the element body and respectively have coil shafts along the second direction. The pair of external electrodes are disposed on the pair of end surfaces and electrically connected to both ends of the first coil and the second coil. The first coil includes a first conductor layer, a second conductor layer, and a first through hole conductor. The coil shaft of the first coil is disposed inside the second coil.

Abstract: First internal conductors are separated from each other in a first direction. Each of the first internal conductors includes a coil portion and a pad portion having a width larger than a width of the coil portion. The pad portions adjacent to each other in the first direction are connected to each other via a through-hole conductor and overlap each other when viewed from the first direction. When viewed from the first direction, each of the coil portions includes a first portion not overlapping the pad portion adjacent in the first direction and a second portion overlapping a part of the pad portion adjacent in the first direction. A second internal conductor is disposed on the same layer as the second portion and is positioned to overlap a portion of the pad portion adjacent in the first direction not overlapping the second portion when viewed from the first direction.

Abstract: In conventional defrosting methods such as running water and microwave defrosting, dripping has arisen, affecting flavor and color, and so frozen foods have been evaluated poorly. Also, natural defrosting and refrigerator defrosting require at least two hours, and similarly dripping has arisen and so the reputation has been poor. The objective of the present invention is to perform defrosting of a frozen food such as meat or fish in a short period of time without using thermoelectricity such as electricity.

Abstract: A shoulder strap slippage prevention device not only wearable with simple actions, but alleviating an uncomfortable feeling of having one's body pressed; and a shoulder bag using it. The device includes a band-shaped prevention device body; a strap attachment part allowing one end of the device body to be attached to a shoulder strap of a shoulder bag; and a balance weight provided on the other end thereof. The strap attachment part is attached to the shoulder strap hung on a user's shoulder, and the device body is then placed around his/her neck such that the balance weight can hang off his/her other shoulder, causing a tensile force to be applied to the device body in a range from one shoulder to the other. The device can be worn with simple actions, preventing the shoulder strap from slipping off while alleviating an uncomfortable feeling of having the user's body pressed.

Abstract: A composition for a bactericidal, disinfecting, and cleansing foam agent contains, as essential components, (a) at least one nonionic surfactant selected from polyalkylene glycol ethers and fatty acid esters of polyglycerin, (b) a bactericidal component, and (c) water. In a preferable embodiment, the nonionic surfactant has a HLB of 10 or greater and is selected from fatty acid esters of polyglycerin. The bactericidal component is selected from hinokitiol, hinokitiol salts, and hinokitiol complexes. This composition is free from a lower alcohol, and further free from an anionic surfactant, an amphoteric surfactant and a cationic surfactant. This composition is particularly suitable for a pump foam-type product. This invention can provide a composition suitable for a bactericidal, disinfecting, and cleansing agent wherein the composition turns into foam sufficiently to give an easy-to-use foam agent.

Abstract: A method of sterilizing mammal carcasses comprises the step of contacting the carcass with an aqueous hinokitiol solution in processing the carcass for a production of red meat as food. The aqueous hinokitiol solution is safe for a human body and enables to sterilize carcasses effectively without lowering quality of red meat as a final product obtained by processing the carcasses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a disinfectant/sterilizing composition which includes hinokitiol as the active ingredient. The composition has enhanced solubility of the hinokitiol in water without the need for alcohol as a solubilizing enhancing ingredient due to the presence of aloe vera extract, green tea extract, low striped bamboo extract and dokudami extract. In addition, the solubility of the hinokitiol in water is further enhanced by the additional inclusion of glycerin fatty acid ester surfactant and cara saponine emulsifier. In addition to enhancing the solubility of the hinokitiol in water, the above-noted plant extracts also serve to enhance the biocidal effect of hinokitiol and avoid the objectionable strong odor usually associated with hinokitiol compositions.
