  • Publication number: 20240096533
    Abstract: The coil component includes a coil, a first core having a first magnetic permeability, and a second core having a second magnetic permeability lower than the first magnetic permeability. The first core and the second core form a magnetic path. The coil forms two or more winding windows. The first core contacts with an entirety of one side line extending in a second direction of each of the winding windows, and protrudes from both ends of one side line of at least one of the winding windows. The second core contacts with three side lines other than the one side line of each of the winding windows. A surface resistance of the first core between two points that are 20 mm away from each other is not less than 5 ? after a high-temperature storage test. A drive frequency of the coil component is not less than 20 kHz.

  • Patent number: 10364166
    Abstract: An UV-irradiation apparatus of an embodiment is provided with an irradiation unit, a measuring unit, a detecting unit, a calculator and a display. The irradiation unit irradiates treatment water as a treatment target with treating ultraviolet rays. The measuring unit measures ultraviolet ray intensity of ultraviolet rays transmitted through the treatment water. The detecting unit detects a deterioration of the irradiation unit in accordance with the ultraviolet ray intensity measured by the measuring unit. The calculator calculates the ultraviolet ray permeability of the treatment water, on the basis of the ultraviolet ray intensity of ultraviolet rays emitted from the irradiation unit depending on a preset setting value and the ultraviolet ray intensity measured by the measuring unit. The display displays the detection result of the deterioration of the irradiation unit by the detecting unit, and the ultraviolet ray permeability calculated by the calculator.

  • Patent number: 9873619
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for measuring hydroxyl radicals that measures hydroxyl radicals produced by irradiating a liquid to be treated flowing through a channel in which an ultraviolet lamp is arranged with ultraviolet rays, the apparatus includes a diverting unit, a reagent adding unit, and a measuring unit. The diverting unit has a diverting channel that diverts the liquid to be treated before being irradiated with the ultraviolet rays from the channel and part of which is arranged at a position enabling the liquid to be treated within the channel to be irradiated with the ultraviolet rays. The reagent adding unit adds a hydroxyl radical measuring reagent to the diverted liquid to be treated. The measuring unit irradiates the diverted liquid to be treated with the ultraviolet rays and measures the amount of hydroxyl radicals produced based on a change in the hydroxyl radical measuring reagent between before and after the irradiation with the ultraviolet rays.
