Abstract:
Disclosed is a fuel cell apparatus which can continue stable performance, can generate an electric power for a long period, and has a long service life. The fuel cell apparatus comprises: a fuel cell body comprising a power generation unit which can generate an electric power through the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen and a hydrogen generation member which can generate hydrogen through the reaction with water produced upon the generation of the electric power and can supply hydrogen generated to the power generation unit; and a reduction control unit which can control so as to reduce the hydrogen generation member that has been oxidized through the reaction with the produced water.
Abstract:
A solar panel according to the present invention includes a solar cell module body (12), a gasket part (6A to 6F), and a frame structure (13). The gasket part includes a substantially U-shaped structure, having an upper side part, a lower side part, and a connecting part connecting an end of the upper side part and an end of the lower side part, in which the upper side part and the lower side part on the open side abut the peripheral edge part of the solar cell module body and sandwiches the solar cell module body by an elastic force. The frame structure (13) has a female fitting part (13-1), and fitting of the gasket part with the female fitting part supports the solar cell module body via the gasket part. The female fitting part has a drain hole (13-3) which can drain the water in the female fitting part.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to provide a micro-reactor, equipped with a high-precision liquid feed system of simple structure, capable of high-precision analysis of at least one item. The present invention provides a micro-reactor for biological substance inspection including a sample storage section, a reagent storage section, a sample pre-processing section, a micro-pump connecting section and a branched minute flow path. And a sample pre-processed by the sample pre-processing section is fed into the minute flow path branched off into at least two parts by a micro-pump and a liquid dividing section, and on the downstream side of each of the branched minute flow paths, the sample is fed to a flow path constituting a reaction site, and then to a flow path constituting the detection site, thereby providing simultaneous measurement of a plurality of items of a sample.

Also disclosed is a method of producing a display panel including the steps of: forming a transparent electrode of a predetermined form on a flexible substrate; forming a metal film of a predetermined form on the flexible substrate so that the metal film is electrically connected to the transparent electrode, the metal film being made of a material different from that of the transparent electrode; and holding or carrying a display layer with the flexible substrate carrying the transparent electrode and the metal film, the display layer being provided for performing display.
Abstract:
A nozzle arrangement structure in an ink jet print head. A plurality of pressure chambers are arranged in circular form, and a plurality of nozzles receive an ink supply from the corresponding pressure chambers and are arranged in an zig zag arrangement to obtain a small interval between the dots. Two straight lines concerning the zig zag arrangement are inclined against a printing direction and a direction perpendicular to the printing direction. When an ink discharge from the nozzles is controlled, preprocessing of serial data is carried out by hardware.

Abstract:
A fuel cell device has a small and compact structure as a whole. The fuel cell device employs a fuel cell (e.g., direct methanol fuel cell of an MEA structure) using liquid fuel. Diluted liquid fuel is prepared by diluting the liquid fuel (methanol-contained liquid in the case of DMFC) with dilution liquid, and is supplied to the fuel cell. A first pump unit stacked on the fuel cell supplies the diluted liquid fuel to the fuel cell while diluting the liquid fuel by mixing the liquid fuel and the dilution liquid together. A second pump unit stacked on the fuel cell collects liquid (water usable as dilution liquid in DMFC) produced by an electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell.
