  • Publication number: 20240105665
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes: a first frame, a second frame spaced apart from the first frame in a first direction, and a first joint terminal provided above a second chip provided on the second frame. The first frame includes a first terminal portion extending toward the second frame. The first joint terminal includes a second terminal portion extending toward the first frame. The second terminal portion includes a plane portion, a first projecting portion and a second projecting portion each branching out from the plane portion. An end portion of the first projecting portion and an end portion of the second projecting portion are respectively joined on the first terminal portion. The first projecting portion is different in a length in a first direction from the second projecting portion.

  • Publication number: 20230266067
    Abstract: The extending direction of a fifth rib that is one of a plurality of first ribs of a first header portion is closer to the extending direction of flow paths in a first counter-flow portion than the extending direction of a sixth rib that is a rib of the plurality of first ribs closer to a fourth edge than the fifth rib. The extending direction of a seventh rib that is one of a plurality of second ribs of a second header portion is closer to the extending direction of the flow paths in the first counter-flow portion than the extending direction of an eighth rib that is a rib of the plurality of second ribs closer to a sixth edge than the seventh rib.

  • Patent number: 11002170
    Abstract: Provided is an injection device capable of suppressing the deposition of white products and performing an exhaust gas purification treatment. This injection device is provided with: an injection unit which is provided upstream of a selective reduction-type catalyst device provided inside an exhaust pipe constituting an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine, and injects a urea aqueous solution or a diethylamine aqueous solution; a determination unit which determines whether white products derived from the urea aqueous solution injected by the injection part are deposited.

  • Patent number: 7628922
    Abstract: The present invention provides a preanalysis treatment method for nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons present in diesel engine exhaust particulates and the like. The method comprises feeding a test solution 160 in which a sample containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is dissolved in a solvent to a silica gel column 170 using an eluent lowest in polarity among a plurality of eluents 110, 120 and 130 to be a mobile phase for the test solution unlike the solvent and to differ in polarity from each other; and then allowing polar solvents to flow in ascending order of polarity to fractionate nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons other than the nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

  • Publication number: 20060210442
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and method for efficiently analyzing nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contained in diesel particulates. The invention comprises a step of extracting soluble organic fraction from diesel particulates contained in the exhaust of a diesel engine using a solvent, a step of concentrating and drying the extraction obtained by the extraction step, and a step of separating and extracting the solution via high-performance liquid chromatograph, wherein the separation step via the high-performance liquid chromatograph comprises a separation step using a silica gel/C8 column, a reduction step using an alumina/Pt—Rh reduction column, and a separation step using an ODS column, and further comprises a subsequent step of quantifying the nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon using a fluorescence detector.
