Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor that comprises a capacitor element that contains a sintered porous anode body, a dielectric that overlies the anode body, and a solid electrolyte that overlies the dielectric is provided. An anode lead wire extends from the capacitor element in a longitudinal direction, wherein the lead wire defines an external surface having a plurality of distinct recessed regions that are spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. A hydrophobic coating is disposed on at least a portion of the external surface of the anode lead wire. Further, an anode termination is in electrical connection with the anode lead wire and a cathode termination is in electrical connection with the solid electrolyte.

Abstract: Disclosed are a thermochromic resin composite and a dimmer allowing easy adjustment of a clouding point. The thermochromic resin composite is predominantly composed of an aqueous medium, an amphiphilic linear polymer changeable between a transparent state and an opaque state in the aqueous medium depending on temperature, and an amphiphilic endless polymer changeable between a transparent state and an opaque state in the aqueous medium depending on temperature, and the amphiphilic linear polymer and the amphiphilic endless polymer in the aqueous medium have one clouding point, the clouding point changing in accordance with a mixing ratio of the amphiphilic linear polymer to the amphiphilic endless polymer.
