Abstract: In the rare earth sintered magnet, the ratio of R2 to the sum of R1 and R2 that are contained in crystal grain boundaries surrounding the crystal grains in the rare earth sintered magnet body is higher than the ratio of R2 to the sum of R1 and R2 in the crystal grains, and the concentration of R2 increases from the central portion of the rare earth sintered magnet body toward the surface of the rare earth sintered magnet body. In addition, the degree of unevenness in residual magnetic flux density on the surface of the rare earth sintered magnet body is smaller than 3.0%.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic part of the invention comprises an internal conductor layer and a ceramic layer which are formed by co-firing. The internal conductor layer is formed of an electrical conducting material containing silver as a main component, and the ceramic layer is formed of an yttrium-iron-garnet based oxide magnetic material with silver added thereto. Thus, the multilayer ceramic part can be fabricated in high yields, even when its size is much more smaller than that of a multilayer ceramic part fabricated until now.

Abstract: A non-reciprocal circuit element includes a plurality of inner conductors intersecting with keeping insulation with each other, a shield conductor connected in common to one end of the inner conductors, and a capacitor connected between the shield conductor and a ground of the non-reciprocal circuit element, for adjusting only eigen values of in-phase excitation. Thus, smaller size, lighter weight and lower height can be attained and also temperature characteristics can be optionally adjusted without changing material used and without inviting increased insertion loss.
