  • BF SEPARATOR, SAMPLE ANALYZER, AND BF SEPARATION METHOD
    Publication number: 20200393474
    Abstract: The degree of freedom in device configuration is increased. A BF separator includes: a holder configured to hold a container that stores therein a sample containing magnetic particles and a liquid component; a magnet provided to be movable relative to the holder in a direction approaching or separating from the holder, and configured to magnetically collect the magnetic particles; a movement mechanism configured to move the holder, and move the magnet in conjunction with movement of the holder, in a direction in which the holder and the magnet approach each other or separate from each other; an agitator configured to agitate the sample in the container held by the holder located in a separate position where the holder and the magnet are away from each other; and a suction tube configured to suck the liquid component in the container held by the holder located in an approach position where the holder and the magnet are close to each other.

  • Forming an impermeable sintered ceramic electrolyte layer on a metallic foil substrate for solid oxide fuel cell
    Patent number: 7833642
    Abstract: An impermeable sintered ceramic electrolyte layer of a solid oxide fuel cell is formed by depositing ceramic powder on a substrate using electrophoretic deposition, isostatically pressing that deposited ceramic layer and then heating the compressed ceramic powder layer at temperatures below 1000° C. In preferred embodiments the ceramic thick film fuel cell assembly is formed upon a ferritic stainless steel substrate.
