Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a base, a fixed terminal, a fixed contact, a movable piece, a movable contact, a magnet, a base holder, and a case. The fixed terminal is supported by the base. The fixed contact is connected to the fixed terminal. The movable piece is supported by the base. The movable contact is connected to the movable piece and faces the fixed contact. The magnet exerts a Lorentz force on an arc generated between the fixed contact and the movable contact. The base holder is a separate body from the base. The base holder is attached to the base. The base holder is disposed in at least a direction in which the Lorentz force acts with respect to the base. The case is attached to the base holder.

Abstract: In this stator, lead wire extended portions and a power wire extended portion are extended from a resin portion by an extended portion separating portion such that the lead wire extended portions are separated from the power wire extended portion by distances that are greater than a maximum value of the width of clearance between an end-side portion of the lead wire extended portion and a facing portion located next to the end-side portion, the resin portion being provided so as to cover lead wire portions and a power wire portion.

Abstract: A dispersion of exfoliated particles which includes at least one nitrogen-containing basic compound (A) which is a tertiary amine or a quaternary ammonium hydroxide having at least one alkyl group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms, and in which exfoliated particles (C) produced by interlayer-exfoliating a proton-type layered polysilicate compound (B) are dispersed in an aqueous solution (D) having 10 vol % to 90 vol % of an alcohol having 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and a film-forming composition, a porous body-forming composition, an LB film, a coating film, a free-standing membrane, a proton conductor, an electrolyte membrane for fuel cells, and a porous body each containing exfoliated particles.

Abstract: [Summary] A shell element that can be formed simply and in a short time, a shell structure using the shell element, and a structure forming set that can form the shell element simply and in a short time are provided. Resin material is foamed on the inside of thin film, a foamed material portion with bubbles being mixed is in the state of being sandwiched by the thin film and a solid layer, and tensional stress is applied to the thin film and the solid layer and compressive stress is applied to the foamed material portion, thus the shell element is difficult to be cracked or split, and the shell structure is formed by the shell element. And, the shell structure forming set forms the shell structure easily.

Abstract: Disclosed is a disposable hot beverage brewer comprised of three sections which bend along fold lines. One section further comprises a vertical fold line through its center. A filter is provided in registry with the inner faces of the three sections. Before use, the device folds flat. In use, it is opened into a triangular configuration which may be set on top of a mug or other container. Coffee, for example, is placed on the filter and hot water poured therethrough.
