Abstract: A composition including a fluoropolymer and substantially free from a compound represented by the following formula (3): (H—(CF2)8—SO3)qM2, wherein M2 is H, a metal atom, NR54, imidazolium optionally containing a substituent, pyridinium optionally containing a substituent, or phosphonium optionally containing a substituent; R5s are each H or an organic group and are the same as or different from each other; and q is 1 or 2.

Abstract: A cooler has a cooling main body portion that includes: a cooling wall in the Y direction including a first face with a heat generator thereon, and a second face opposite thereto; first and second flow path extending in the Y direction, the first flow path allowing refrigerant to flow in, and the second flow path allowing the refrigerant to flow out; cooling flow paths with a part of a wall surface comprising the second face; a partition spaced from the cooling wall in the Z direction, separating the first and the second flow paths from the cooling flow paths; and a first narrowing portion at a communication portion between a cooling flow path and the first flow path. The cooling flow paths are positioned between the first and flow paths and the cooling wall, and cause the first and the second flow path to communicate in the X direction.

Abstract: Provided is a geothermal power plant system configured to generate power by treating heat source water, including: a cyclone solid-liquid separation unit configured to separate solid substances inside the heat source water from the heat source water; and a heat exchanging unit configured to perform heat exchange on the heat source water from the cyclone solid-liquid separation unit. The geothermal power plant system may include a gas-liquid separation unit configured to separate gaseous substances from heat source water supplied to the cyclone solid-liquid separation unit.

Abstract: A chain tensioner device having a first slide surface of a main arm pivotably supported at an upper end thereof, and a second slide surface of a sub-arm pivotably supported at a lower end thereof. The first and second slide surfaces slidably abut against each other. When the main arm is biased toward a timing chain via the sub-arm by a biasing force of a plunger of a tensioner lifter, a stroke of the main arm is increased with respect to a stroke of the plunger.

Abstract: A sintered ceramic body is manufactured first by preparing a composition containing a binder and a ceramic powder having a particle size distribution given such that 0 to 1 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of less than 0.2 .mu.m, 0 to 2 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of 0.2 .mu.m to less than 0.5 .mu.m, 5 to 15 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of 0.5 .mu.m to less than 1.0 .mu.m, 5 to 15 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of 1.0 .mu.m to less than 1.5 .mu.m, 5 to 15 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of 1.5 .mu.m to less than 2.0 .mu.m, and 50 to 80 weight % of ceramic particles with a particle size of not less than 2.0 .mu.m. The prepared composition is then injection-molded into a predetermined shape. The binder is removed from the molded body, and the binder-free molded body is sintered.
