Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a wavelength conversion member capable of appropriately performing color conversion compared to the prior arts and a light-emitting apparatus, a light-emitting element, a light source apparatus, and a display apparatus using the wavelength conversion member. A wavelength conversion member of the present invention includes a light incident surface, a light emission surface and a side face that connects between the light incident surface and the light emission surface, and includes a container provided with a storage space inside the side face, a wavelength conversion substance that fills the inside of the storage space and a colored layer formed on the side face.

Abstract: The invention provides a laminate-type piezoelectric element comprising a ceramic laminate 10 with ceramic layers 11 and internal electrode layers 12 respectively stacked alternately, and a pair of external electrodes respectively connecting with a pair of connecting areas 15 formed at an outer peripheral area of the ceramic laminate 10. The internal electrode layer comprises an internal electrode part 120 with electric conductivity, and a non-pole part 120 where the internal electrode part 120 does not exist at the inside near an outer peripheral area. The ceramic laminate 10 comprises stress relaxation parts 13 able to modify more easily their shapes than the ceramic layers 11, along at least a part of said internal electrode layers. This stress relaxation part 13 is placed so as to overlap with the non-pole part 129 of either of the internal electrode layers 12, in a stacking direction of the ceramic laminate 10.

Abstract: A method for producing a ceramic laminate includes a sheet-forming process for forming a green sheet 11 by placing a raw ceramic material on a carrier film 12, a punching process for punching a green sheet piece of a predetermined shape from the green sheet, a stacking process for sequentially stacking a plurality of the green sheet pieces to form a green laminate, and a calcination process for calcining the green laminate to obtain a ceramic laminate consisting of a plurality of ceramic layers, wherein, in the punching process, the green sheet piece only is punched while the green sheet 11 is held on the carrier film 12.

Abstract: A measuring system measures temperature distribution in water using an optical fiber. An optical fiber cable suspended from a ship and towed by the ship to form an arch within the water. A measuring device for continuously measuring temperature at various points along the lengths of said optical fiber cable. Sensors are provided within the water to calculate the water depth at each of the various points along the length of the arch shaped optical fiber. Thus, a temperature distribution at each water depth can be continuously measured.
