Abstract: In the coil component, the edge of the aperture of the protection film covering the coil from the lower surface side of the element body does not extend in the same plane. In this case, even if a crack occurs in the joint region between the coil and the bump electrode, the crack is less likely to cross the joint region as compared with the case where the edge extends in the same plane. Therefore, in the coil component, the crack is effectively suppressed.

Abstract: In the coil component, the lower end portion of the bump electrode protruding from the lower surface of the element body includes a flange portion, and the lower surface of the lower end portion is concave-convex. Therefore, compared to the case where the bump electrode is exposed in the form of a flat surface so as to be flat with the lower surface of the element body, the contact areas between the bump electrodes and the terminal electrodes are increased, and high connection reliability between the bump electrodes and the terminal electrodes is realized.

Abstract: In the coil component, the terminal electrode enters an aperture of the element body and is jointed with the bump electrode inside the element body. That is, the terminal electrode is in contact with both the bump electrode and the element body. Therefore, as compared with the case where the bump electrode is exposed to the lower surface of the element body, a joint surface of the terminal electrode is enlarged, and high adhesion of the terminal electrode is realized.

Abstract: The present invention suppresses an adverse effect caused when an additional gas such as water vapor is mixed in a sample gas or the like that is subjected to gas measurement. In an embodiment of the present invention, in gas measurement for analyzing sensor output signals obtained by alternately supplying a sample gas and a reference gas to a sensor element while alternately switching between the sample gas and the reference gas, the sample gas and the reference gas pass through a humidity equilibration device partitioned by a water vapor permeable membrane, and then are supplied to the sensor element. As a result, since both gases have substantially the same value of humidity at the time of being supplied to the sensor element, influences of water vapor are substantially cancelled out in signals output from the sensor element by the alternate supply of the sample gas and the reference gas.

Abstract: The coil body of the coil component includes a first coil, a second coil, and a third coil arranged in order along one direction when viewed from the facing direction of the pair of main surfaces of the element body. The first coil, the second coil, and the third coil have alternating winding directions, and the number of turns of the second coil is relatively small, thereby improving the characteristics of the coil component.

Abstract: Since the coil body of the coil component includes a plurality of coils and the first coil is one of the plurality of coils included in the coil body, the current route from the external terminal of the first to the outer peripheral turn of the second coil portion where stray capacitance occurs is significantly shorter than the route of current flowing between the pair of external terminals, and the voltage drop in the outer peripheral turn of the second coil portion is relatively small, so that stray capacitance between the second coil portion and the first external terminal is small.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily evaluate silage fermentation quality on site or the like. In one embodiment of the present invention, a gas generated from silage is applied to a surface stress sensor, and the amount of either one of organic acids and nitrogen-containing compounds contained in the silage is determined. The surface stress sensor can detect trace components in a gas by a simple device configuration and in simple procedures. Therefore, by utilizing the fact that relationship between the content of these components and the fermentation quality is known, the evaluation of fermentation quality can be easily realized by the above measurement.
