The sound control device may include an interface portion 15 for receiving a load input indicating a load size perceived by a user due to user operation; and a control portion 50 for outputting a sound to a speaker 40 corresponding to the load input received by the interface portion 15. The control portion 50 may output a dominant tone sound to the speaker 40 in a first state where the size of the load indicated by the load input is larger than a predefined size. The control portion 50 may output a tonic tone sound to the speaker 40 in a second state where the size of the load indicated by the load input has decreased to less than the predefined size of the first state.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2012Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventor: Mayumi Yamada

Patent number: 9099246Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a body and first and second outer electrodes. The body includes a multilayer unit with ceramic dielectric layers and conductive layers alternately stacked on each other. The body is sectioned into a thickness-direction inner layer section that includes the multilayer unit and thickness-direction first and second outer layer sections that sandwich the thickness-direction inner layer section therebetween. A dimension of the thickness-direction second outer layer section is greater than a dimension of the thickness-direction first outer layer section. A conductive layer closest to a first principal surface and a conductive layer closest to a second principal surface are first and second outermost conductive layers, respectively. A curving amount of an extension portion of the second outermost conductive layer is greater than that of an extension portion of the first outermost conductive layer.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co.

Patent number: 8702838Abstract: A method for recovering a metal, capable of recovering a metal easily without requiring the use of an organic medium, is provided. A complex between a chelating agent and a metal present in a sample is formed in a mixture prepared by mixing the chelating agent and the sample under pH conditions where the chelating agent can be insoluble in an aqueous medium. Then, the complex is recovered from the mixture, and further, the metal is recovered by dissolving the recovered complex in an aqueous medium under pH conditions that are different from the pH conditions where the chelating agent can be insoluble in an aqueous medium. By this method, a metal can be recovered easily without requiring the use of the use of an organic medium.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: ARKRAY, Inc.Inventors: Yuka Shimomura, Mayumi Yamada
