Abstract: An impact tool includes a motor, a hammer, and an anvil. The hammer is configured to be rotated around a rotation axis by motive power provided from the motor. The anvil is configured to be rotated around the rotation axis by receiving striking force from the hammer in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis. In the impact tool, moment of inertia of the hammer around the rotation axis is 10 or more times moment of inertia of the anvil around the rotation axis.

Abstract: An impact tool includes a motor, a control unit, an output shaft, a transmission mechanism, and an impact detection unit. The transmission mechanism includes an impact mechanism. The impact mechanism performs an impact operation according to magnitude of torque applied to the output shaft. The impact detection unit determines, based on at least one of an excitation current (current measured value) to be supplied to the motor or a torque current (current measured value) to be supplied to the motor, whether or not the impact operation is being performed. The control unit fulfills an impact response function by performing restriction processing in response to detection of the impact operation by the impact detection unit as a trigger. The restriction processing includes at least one of lowering the number of revolutions of the motor or stopping rotating the motor.

Abstract: Examples described include composite nanofibers sheets that have been “infiltrated” with a polymer (i.e., the polymer has flowed past a surface of the nanofiber sheet and into at least some of spaces within the sheet defined by the nanofibers). An adhesive nanofiber tape is formed when the infiltrating polymer is an adhesive and the adhesive infiltrates the nanofiber sheet from a one major surface of the nanofiber sheet. In other described examples, some portions of nanofibers in the sheet have been conformally coated with at least one metal layer.

Abstract: L1 is a maximum distance across a non-contacting section between intersection points of a straight line crossing the non-contacting section in parallel with an alignment direction of a carbon nanotubes in a plan view of a mounting section with a border between the non-contacting section and a contacting section. L2 is a maximum distance across the non-contacting section between intersection points of a straight line crossing the non-contacting section and intersecting the alignment direction of the carbon nanotubes in the plan view of the mounting section with the border between the non-contacting section and the contacting section. When L1 is larger than L2, at least L2 is more than 0 mm and less than 10 mm. When smaller, at least L1 is more than 0 mm and less than 10 mm. When equal, L1 and L2 are each more than 0 mm and less than 10 mm.

Abstract: Nanofiber based sensors are described that can be used to detect analytes in biological or non-biological contexts. Each sensor includes at least two nanofiber yarns that are spaced apart from one another so as to avoid electrical (or physical) contact. Each nanofiber yarn of the nanofiber sensor includes a sensing region that is in electrical contact with the rest of the corresponding nanofiber yarn. The sensing regions of the at least two nanofibers are treated with complementary sensing agents so that when the sensing regions (and the corresponding sensing agents) are exposed to the analyte to be detected, an electrical response is detected. This response is then communicated through one or more of the nanofiber yarns for interpretation by a processor.

A storage container includes: a container body including a top plate where a dispensing opening for taking out the sheets is provided, and an opening formed opposing the top plate; and a bottom lid which is formed of an integrally-molded resin, is detachably mounted to the container body, and closes the opening. The bottom lid includes: a flat plate portion; and an expanding/contracting part transformable from a first state where it protrudes from the flat plate portion up to a first height toward the inside of the container body, to a second state where it protrudes from the flat plate portion up to a second height higher than the first height, toward the inside of the container body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stabilization method, a preservation method and the like method of reduced coenzyme Q10, which is useful as functional nutritive foods, specific health foods and the like. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for efficiently obtaining reduced coenzyme Q10 of high quality and by a method suitable for a commercial production. It is possible to handle and stably preserve reduced coenzyme Q10 under a condition that oxidation by a molecular oxygen is inhibited by contacting reduced coenzyme Q10 with, an ascorbic acid and citric acid or a related compound thereof, and thus a stabilized composition is obtained. Moreover, reduced coenzyme Q10 is converted into a crystalline state in such a condition that the formation of oxidized coenzyme Q10 as a byproduct is minimized by crystallizing reduced coenzyme Q10 in the presence of ascorbic acid or a related compound thereof etc., and thus a reduced coenzyme Q10 crystal of high quality is produced.
