Abstract: Provided are a method for manufacturing a silicon carbide single crystal, which can suppress conversion of threading edge dislocations into prismatic plane dislocations and conversion of the prismatic plane dislocations into basal plane dislocations; and a silicon carbide single crystal ingot and a silicon carbide wafer, in which conversion from threading edge dislocations into prismatic plane dislocations and conversion from the prismatic plane dislocations into basal plane dislocations have been suppressed. A silicon carbide single crystal is grown on the surface of a seed substrate by a gas method so that a temperature gradient in the radial direction of the seed substrate takes a predetermined value or lower during the growth.

Abstract: Provided is a linear solenoid valve having at least one notch that opens on an end surface of the land of the spool on the drain chamber side and is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the land. In response to movement of the spool, a state is formed in which the end surface of the land on the drain chamber side is located inside the communication chamber and the output chamber and the drain chamber communicate with each other via the notch and the communication chamber, and a state is formed in which the end surface of the land on the drain chamber side is located inside the output chamber and the output chamber and the drain chamber communicate with each other via the communication chamber.

Abstract: An information processing method includes calculating, for each reference target among reference targets to which a measure has been applied, a difference between a value of an index of the reference target linked to predetermined variables, and a value of the index of the reference target obtained under a virtual scenario in which the measure is not applied to the reference target, as a first index value difference, calculating a relation expression that links the first index value difference to the predetermined variables, and calculating, by using the predetermined variables of a target and the relation expression, a difference between a value of the index of the target obtained under a virtual scenario in which the measure is applied to the target and a value of the index of the target obtained when the measure is not applied to the target, as a second index value difference.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a containing portion in which an object to be sterilized such as medical treatment tools is accommodated for sterilization; and a sterilizing superheated steam generating and supplying portion provided adjacent to the containing portion comprising a saturated steam generating portion for generating a saturated steam at 80 to 100 degrees centigrade from water, a sterilizing superheated steam generating portion for generating therein a sterilizing superheated steam at 120 to 300 degrees centigrade by colliding the saturated steam generated from the saturated steam generating portion with a heated superheating medium at a predetermined flow rate; and a sterilizing superheated steam supplying portion for feeding the sterilizing superheated steam into the containing portion, thereby forming in the inner of the containing portion heated low-oxygen environmental condition equal to or less than 3% oxygen concentration suitable for sterilizing attached bacteria, at 120 to 150 degrees centigrade

Abstract: The present invention is a disposable container having an easily openable structure capable of solving the problems in the easily openable disposable containers, and a die therefore at a low cost. An easily openable disposable container comprising a sheet such as a synthetic resin film or a film-like sheet with an aluminum foil laminated on the film for sealing the substance to be stored by sealing the entirety or a part of the periphery with a content such as a liquid or a particle, with an easily openable part formed in a part of the sealed parts, wherein the sealing of the easily openable part is formed in a width narrower than the sealing width in the other part of the sealed part, and a narrow width vertical sealing is formed continuously from the narrow width sealed part, elongating in the direction substantially orthogonal thereto into the inside of the container such that the sealing of the easily openable part forms a substantially T-shape or a substantially V-shape in a plan view, is provided.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a disposable container having an easily openable structure capable of solving the problems in the easily openable disposable containers, and a die therefore at a low cost.

Abstract: A disposable container for a liquid such as soy sauce, detergent or cosmetics, discharges its contents when the container is folded over and pressure is applied to the container by the palm or fingers of the hand. The container includes a sealed portion that has a narrow width and which is formed into a circular, elliptic, rhomboid or other shape in such a manner that the center of the sealed portion coincides with the center line of the container about which the container may be folded. A discharge port is formed in the central portion of the sealed portion or in the side of the container from which the contents are desired to be discharged so that when the container is folded over and pressure applied thereto to rupture the sealed portion, the contents of the containers are discharged through the discharge port.

Abstract: A disposable container for liquids may be squeezed to apply pressure to a sealed portion of the container to cause the sealed portion to rupture, thereby releasing the contents of the container. The sealed portion includes an inwardly projecting concavity with a nipple-like projection into the sealed portion of the container. When pressure is applied to the container, the nipple-like portion ruptures first, thereby facilitating rupture of the remainder of the sealed portion. A flow resistor may be included near the opening of the sealed portion to reduce the velocity of the contents of the container released upon rupture of the sealed portion.

Abstract: A multifunctional sheet of the present invention comprises a base sheet comprising a transparent synthetic resin film and a conductive metal layer which is laminated on the overall upper surface of the base sheet and which has many fine through holes formed substantially uniformly or in an appropriate pattern so as to have see-through so that the metal layer functions as a layer for shielding electromagnetic wave noise or a communication antenna material. The sheet can be used as an electromagnetic shielding material, a heater material, an antenna material, a light shielding sheet and so on.

Abstract: This cold-proof water-proof garment is designed to be worn by someone working in cold seas, or aboard a ship in distress at sea, to protect the life of the wearer if he should fall into the sea.

Abstract: There is disclosed a cold-proof water-proof garment, which is to be worn for marine operations on cold water and can save life in such a case as when a man wearing it accidentally drops into water or encounters perils of the sea.

Abstract: A colored diskette for holding a floppy disk with an outer colored substrate sheet forming an outer envelope, the inside of which is lined by a conductive layer acting as a shield and which is lined by a liner in which the disk rests. The data stored on the disk is color-coded so that the diskette may be easily stored and classified according to the color of the substrate.
