Abstract: An ice making machine has a framework-shaped frame which encloses an ice making tray and a drive unit and a fixing portion which fixes the frame to an inner wall surface in a freezing compartment. The frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion opposed to each other in an X-axis direction and a third frame portion and a fourth frame portion opposed to each other in a Y-axis direction. The fixing portion protrudes upward from the third frame portion. The third frame portion contacts the inner wall surface when the frame is fixed to the freezing compartment. The fourth frame portion includes a plate portion which extends in the X-axis direction with a thickness direction directed to the Y-axis direction and connects the first frame portion and the second frame portion to each other and a plurality of ribs provided on the plate portion.

Abstract: A multilayer ceramic capacitor includes a base body including first and second main surfaces, first and second side surfaces, first and second end surfaces, and dielectric layers and internal electrode layers, and external electrodes at the first and second end surfaces, and electrically connected to the internal electrode layers. The base body includes an inner layer, first and second outer layers, first and second side margin portions. The dielectric layers in the inner layer and the first and second outer layers include main crystal grains including barium and titanium, and with respect to 100 parts by mol of titanium, nickel in an amount of about 0.2 to about 3.0 parts by mol, and at least one rare earth element selected from yttrium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium in an amount of about 0.6 parts to about 2.0 parts by mol.

Abstract: An ice making device includes an ice making tray, and a drive unit which is structured to turn the ice making tray. In an ice separating operation, the drive unit turns and twists the ice making tray to one side as an ice separation preparatory operation, and then, the drive unit turns and twists the ice making tray to the other side to drop ice pieces from the ice making tray.

Abstract: A flow rate adjusting valve, in which a needle valve is arranged so as to face a fluid passage of a main body, is equipped with a handle configured to enable a rotational operation to be performed manually, an electric motor configured to be operated remotely, and a motive power transmission mechanism that selectively switches between a rotational operating force of the handle and a driving force of the electric motor, and to transmit the force to the needle valve. The switching is performed by causing the handle to be moved in a direction of an axis of rotation.
