  • Patent number: 10920120
    Abstract: A ceria composite particle dispersion has ceria composite particles having an average particle size of 50 to 350 nm and having the features described below. Each ceria composite particle has a mother particle, a cerium-containing silica layer on the surface thereof, and child particles dispersed inside the cerium-containing silica layer, the mother particles being amorphous silica-based and the child particles being crystalline ceria-based. The child particles have a coefficient of variation (CV value) in a particle size distribution of 14 to 40%. The ceria composite particles have a mass ratio of silica to ceria of 100:11-316. Only the crystal phase of ceria is detected when the ceria composite particles are subjected to X-ray diffraction. The average crystallite size of the crystalline ceria measured by subjecting the ceria composite particles to X-ray diffraction is 10 to 25 nm.

  • Patent number: 10844259
    Abstract: Disclosed is a silica-based composite fine particle dispersion including a silica-based composite fine particle which comprises a mother particle containing amorphous silica as a main component with a child particle containing crystalline ceria as a main component on a surface thereof. Features of the silica-based composite fine particle include a silica to ceria mass ratio of 100:11 to 316, and when subjected to X-ray diffraction, only the crystalline phase of ceria is detected, and when subjected to X-ray diffraction for measurement, the crystalline ceria has a crystallite diameter of 10 to 25 nm.

  • Patent number: 10622744
    Abstract: A plurality of laterally extending modules aligned longitudinally orthogonal to the lateral direction with terminals attached to each module housing, each terminal including a longitudinally extended main body held in the module housing, a contact arm extending upward or downward from the main body, the contact arm including a contact portion contacting a counter terminal, a first bent portion connected to the main body and bent upward or downward, and a second bent portion formed between the contact portion and the first bent portion and bent in a direction opposite to the first bent portion.
