Abstract: A composite separation structure may include a substrate section, a first separation section disposed in contact with the substrate section, and a second separation section disposed not in contact with the substrate section but in contact with the first separation section. The second separation section may be amorphous and have a thickness from an end portion in contact with the first separation section to the opposite end portion of 5 nm or more and 200 nm or less. Such a composite separation structure may be capable of separating gases having various small kinetic diameters (kinetic diameters) with high separability, and particularly capable of realizing the separation or concentration of a gas mixture containing a gas having a kinetic diameter of 4 ? or less.

Abstract: To provide an oil seal removing method that may dispense with a step for forming a hole to an iron core in the oil seal by using a drill and may be applied, as desired, even in a narrow space, and to provide a seal removal tool that is superior in versatility to a taper screw type tool screwed into an inner diameter portion of the oil seal, an L-shaped jaw (2) formed with arcuate portions (2a and 2a′) at its tip end portion, and a retainer plate (1) with holes (3) at its body portion is prepared. The L-shaped jaw (2) is pressingly inserted into a contact interface between an oil seal body (6) and a crankshaft (5). Next, the retainer plate is tilted through 90 degrees to engage the jaw (2) with an end face of the iron core (10). Next, a tip (tip end) (4′) of a driver (4) is inserted into the hole (3), and a grip of a lever is drawn as indicated by an arrow (9) while abutting the tip (tip end) (4′) against an end face (5c) of a pulley shaft.
