  • Publication number: 20240013983
    Abstract: The objective of the present disclosure is to improve the electrical conductivity of conductive polymers and to provide an electrolytic capacitor using conductive polymers with high electrical conductivity. The solid electrolytic capacitor uses the conductive polymer in which an index D derived by D=(B+C)/A is 4 or more based on an absorbance A at 585 nm, an absorbance B at 800 nm, and an absorbance C at 1200 nm in a light absorption spectrum of the conductive polymer.

  • Patent number: 11605992
    Abstract: A motor assembly includes a motor and sealing member fixed to a frame. The motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a coil holding portion and a first portion with an annular shape and extending radially outward from the coil holding portion. The rotor includes a magnet and a magnet holding portion located in a first space. The first portion has a first surface in contact with the first space, and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface. A through hole penetrates from the first surface to the second surface in the first portion. The sealing member is disposed on a side of the stator opposite to the rotor, and is fixed to the frame so a second space between the sealing member and the stator does not communicate with an external space other than the first space.
