  • Publication number: 20230072426
    Abstract: An information processing device receives material data related to a material, from a user terminal. The information processing device performs analysis on the material data using a predetermined first analysis method and generates first analysis result data that is an analysis result from the first analysis method. The information processing device performs analysis on the received material data using a second analysis method and generates second analysis result data that is an analysis result expressing a relationship between the received material data and data different from the received material data. The information processing device transmits the first analysis result data and the generated second analysis result data to the user terminal.

  • Patent number: 9929424
    Abstract: A proton conductor includes a coordination polymer having stoichiometrically metal ions, oxoanions, and proton coordinating molecules capable of undergoing protonation or deprotonation. The coordination polymer including coordination entities that are repeatedly coordinated to bond the coordination entities with one another. Each coordination entity is either a first coordination entity or a second coordination entity. The first coordination entity is one metal ion of the metal ions coordinated with either at least one oxoanion of the oxoanions or at least one proton coordinating molecule of the proton coordinating molecules. The second coordination entity is the metal ion coordinated with each of at least one oxoanion of the oxoanions and at least one proton coordinating molecule of the proton coordinating molecules. At least a part of the proton conductor is non-crystalline. The proton conductor has high ion conductivity at high temperature.

  • Publication number: 20090232726
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing alumina particles having a size on the order of nanometers and an excellent heat resistance at about 1000° C. comprises providing a liquid medium containing particles made of ?-alumina or boehmite alumina hydrate and a metal component such as La, Ba, Mg or the like, and thermally treated the alumina and the metal component in the liquid medium in a pressurized condition. The thermally treated particles are dried and sintered at a temperature of from 900° C. to lower than 1200° C. to provide alumina particles which has a metal aluminate crystal phase thereon. The metal component is formed as a solid solution as a surface layer of individual alumina particles by subjecting the alumina particles and the metal component to the thermal treatment prior to sintering, so that the metal aluminate crystal phase can be formed by sintering at temperatures lower than ordinary sintering temperatures.
