  • Publication number: 20240087818
    Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that includes: a capacitor element; a sealing material that seals the capacitor element to form a sealing body; and a vent structure embedded in the sealing material such that a portion of the vent structure is exposed on an outer surface of the sealing body, the vent structure being composed of a material that has a self-sealing valve action in which the vent structure turns into a melt at a reflow mounting temperature and the melt cleaves when receiving pressure of vaporized components generated inside the sealing body so as to form a hole communicating from an inside to the outer surface of the sealing body to discharge the vaporized components, and upon being cooled from the reflow mounting temperature, the melt flows and then solidifies so as to block the hole.

  • Publication number: 20220178572
    Abstract: An air conditioning control system controls an air conditioning apparatus that performs an air conditioning operation in a target space. The air conditioning control system includes a detecting unit that detects a temperature distribution of the target space, and a server. The server controls the air conditioning apparatus such that the temperature distribution of the target space approaches a target temperature distribution, based on the temperature distribution detected by the detecting unit by using a learning device that has learned by deep reinforcement learning.
