  • Publication number: 20230253942
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a method of manufacturing film bulk acoustic wave resonators. The method comprises forming a sacrificial layer over a surface of a substrate to form a plurality of film bulk acoustic wave resonators on the surface of the substrate, forming a piezoelectric film on the surface of the substrate to cover the sacrificial layer, and removing the sacrificial layer to form an air gap between the surface of the substrate and the piezoelectric film that has covered the sacrificial layer, the air gap corresponding to each of the plurality of film bulk acoustic wave resonators. The step of forming the piezoelectric film includes controlling a concentration distribution of an additive added to the piezoelectric film across the surface of the substrate to suppress a variation of the acoustic velocity of the piezoelectric film depending on a position on the main surface of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11649962
    Abstract: A burner characterized by being equipped with: a fuel supply nozzle to which a mixed flow of a solid fuel and a solid fuel transport gas is supplied; a flow passage that is arranged on the outside of the fuel supply nozzle and that supplies combustion air separated from the mixed flow; and ammonia supply nozzles which are capable of supplying ammonia on the downstream side of the outlet of the fuel supply nozzle toward a reduction region in which oxygen in the transport gas has been consumed due to ignition of the fuel and the progress of combustion, resulting in a low oxygen concentration. Thus, it is possible to provide a burner capable of burning a mixture of a solid fuel and ammonia, and a combustion device equipped with this burner.

  • Publication number: 20220278432
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly including first and second electrodes, an outer body having an opening and housing the electrode assembly, a conductive sealing plate sealing the opening, and a deformable member. The sealing plate has a first through-hole. The deformable member seals the first through-hole. When the opening of the outer body faces upward, a second electrode connecting member electrically connected to the second electrode is above the deformable member. A conductive conducting member is disposed between the second electrode connecting member and the deformable member. The diameter of the conducting member is larger than the diameter of the first through-hole. When the pressure inside the outer body becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the deformable member is deformed and brings the conducting member into contact with the second electrode connecting member and electrically connects the sealing plate and the second electrode connecting member.
