  • Patent number: 9887341
    Abstract: A method of production of core/shell type nanoparticles includes the following steps: a first step of applying a first power to cause the generation of the plasma so as to selectively cause the precipitation of a first metal so as to form nanoparticles as cores and a second step of applying a second power which is larger than the first power to cause the generation of the plasma so as to cause the precipitation of a second metal which has a smaller oxidation reduction potential than the first metal on the core surface so as to form shells which are comprised of the second metal which cover the cores which are comprised of the first metal.

  • Patent number: 7951584
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a biological organic material in a liquid droplet comprising a culture medium composed of specified ingredient. The method comprises the steps of: providing a substantially spherical liquid droplet on a substrate in an unadhered state, the substrate preferably having such a water-repellent surface that the water contact angle becomes 150° or greater; and culturing a biological organic material in the liquid droplet.

  • Patent number: 7800807
    Abstract: An electrochromic mirror includes an electrochromic film, an electrically conductive reflective film formed at one thickness direction side of the electrochromic film, an electrically conductive film provided at one thickness direction side of the electrochromic film and at a side of the electrically conductive reflective film that is opposite from the electrochromic film, an electrolytic solution containing lithium ions and enclosed between the electrically conductive reflective film and the electrically conductive film, and a reduction reaction compensation unit. In the electrolytic solution, due to applying a voltage such that the electrically conductive film is made positive and electrically conductive reflective film is made negative, the lithium ions move toward the side of the electrochromic film and are provided to a reduction reaction of the electrochromic film. The reduction reaction compensation unit compensates the reduction reaction.
