  • Publication number: 20170236625
    Abstract: A resistance adjustment circuit has a plurality of conductive patterns placed in parallel to one another on a flat surface formed from an insulating body so as to extend in a first direction, and also has a resistive element that spans two conductive patterns and is electrically connected to the conductive patterns at superimposing parts superimposed on the conductive patterns. A plurality of resistive elements are provided so as to be spaced in the first direction and are connected in parallel to one another across the two conductive patterns. Part of the conductive patterns can be selectively cut between the superimposing parts of resistive elements disposed adjacently. The combined resistance of the resistance adjustment circuit can be adjusted by reducing parallel connections of resistive elements or combining parallel connections of resistive elements with their series connections.

  • Patent number: 9687814
    Abstract: Provided is a fibrous adsorbing material used for the adsorption and recovery of metals in a solution, which is a fibrous metal-adsorbing material that can be produced using existing production facilities without using special facilities or complicated operations, has high durability, is easy to diversify, and can be processed into various forms. The fibrous metal-adsorbing material is produced by a) a step of preparing an acrylate polymer having a large number of glycidyl groups in the molecule, b) a step of kneading a low-melting-point fiber matrix polymer therewith, c) a step of making the resulting mixture into a fibrous form by an melt-blend spinning method, and d) a step of allowing a long-chain ligand having an amino group or an imino group to react with glycidyl groups on the fiber surface to introduce a metal-adsorbing functional group. The fibrous metal-adsorbing material has high durability, is easy to diversify, and has various forms.
