  • Patent number: 9640325
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor, which includes the steps of: in a dispersion medium containing a monomer for obtaining a conjugated conductive polymer and a seed particle with protective colloid formed of a polyanion, polymerizing the monomer to obtain a conjugated conductive polymer-containing dispersion liquid; attaching the conjugated conductive polymer-containing dispersion liquid to the surface of a porous anode body at least having an anode body made of a valve metal and a dielectric film formed on the surface of the anode body; and removing a part or all of the dispersion medium from the conjugated conductive polymer-containing dispersion liquid attached to the porous anode body to form a solid electrolyte layer. Also disclosed is a solid electrolytic capacitor obtained by the method.

  • Publication number: 20080037971
    Abstract: A remote-control device, according to the present invention, is for a camera having a light signal receiver that receives a light signal. The remote-control device includes a light signal transmitter, a position adjuster, and a switch member. The light signal transmitter transmits the light signal. The position adjuster adjusts the relative position of the light signal transmitter with respect to the camera. The switch member is connected to the light signal transmitter and commands the light signal transmitter to transmit the light signal. The switch member is movable with respect to the light signal transmitter, and the position adjuster adjusts the relative position of the light signal transmitter so that the light signal is received by the light signal receiver.

  • Patent number: 7300579
    Abstract: A flush mixing tank is provided with a flocculant mixing section in which a raw water a to be treated is introduced and a flocculant such as known aluminum sulfate or polychlorinated aluminum is injected, and then they are agitated and mixed; and a floc growing section through which flocculant injected water mixed with the flocculant passes, and the flocculant injected water is discharged as a floc treated water, but a water passing member, which is provided with a plurality of water through-holes for promoting the growth of the flocs in the flocculant injected water, is disposed in the floc growing section. Flocs of flocculant injected water can be rapidly formed, and growth of the flocs can be accelerated.

  • Patent number: 6991863
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic disk substrate formed of a thermoplastic resin and a magnetic disk comprising a magnetic recording layer formed on the magnetic disk substrate. In the magnetic disk substrate of the invention, the amount of gases generated therefrom upon held at 90° C. for 1 hour is 100 ?g/cm2 or less, so that when scanned by a floating head, errors on recording and reading of information are remarkably reduced. Thus, the magnetic disk substrate can provide a magnetic disk having improved scan capability. The present invention also provides a process for manufacturing such a magnetic disk.

  • Patent number: 6991737
    Abstract: A filtering method including the steps of preparing a water purifying apparatus 1 with a cell structure 2 having units for constituting cell structure 4, and a cap portion 3, and making raw water flow into cells 10 from one end, and filtered by a partition walls 9 to take out filtrate water from the side of an outer peripheral surface 8. The cell structure 2 is so constructed that the ratio of maximum value to minimum value in water permeability among the partition walls 9 provided therein is within a range from of 110 to 300% in terms of percentage, and the cells 10 located on the side of an outer periphery 7 of the cell structure 2 have a greater water permeability.
