Abstract:
An input element includes: a first electrode and a second electrode that face each other; and an intermediate layer disposed between the first and the second electrodes and made of rubber or a rubber composition, the rubber or rubber composition containing siloxane. The intermediate layer is made of rubber or a rubber composition, the rubber or rubber composition containing siloxane that has a silicon atom bound to three to four oxygen atoms. The intermediate layer has concentration profiles such that, while oxygen increases from one side to the other side of a thickness direction thereof and has a maximal value, carbon decreases from the one side to the other side thereof and has a minimal value.

Abstract:
A power generating element is provided. The power generating element includes a pair of electrodes, an intermediate layer being insulating, and a substrate being flexible. The intermediate layer is disposed between the electrodes. The substrate is configured to support the electrodes and the intermediate layer. When the substrate undergoes a deformation, the intermediate layer is separated from or pressed against one of the electrodes.
Abstract:
A fluid treatment apparatus for treating a target fluid is provided. The fluid treatment apparatus includes a reactor to decompose an organic substance contained in a mixed fluid of the target fluid with an oxidant by an oxidation reaction. The reactor includes a cylindrical base material, a catalyst, and a migration space. The catalyst accelerates the oxidation reaction of the organic substance, and is disposed along an inner periphery of the cylindrical base material. Into the migration space, solids precipitated in the oxidation reaction migrate in a longitudinal direction without accumulating.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a screen plate for printing two-dimensionally arranged opening patterns by screen printing. The screen plate includes a dummy printing region in which a predetermined pattern is singly or plurally arranged along an edge part of one side or edge parts of two sides parallel to a printing direction of the screen plate; a full-surface printing region for performing full-surface printing, the full-surface printing region being formed into a belt shape at a position closer to a central side of the screen plate than the dummy printing region; and a printing region that is formed at a position closer to the central side than the full-surface printing region and in which the opening patterns are two-dimensionally arranged.
Abstract:
A liquid discharge head includes a nozzle plate having a discharge port, and a valve facing the nozzle plate to open and close the discharge port. The valve includes a core having a recess, and an elastic member attached to the core. The recess has: an opening rim on a leading end of the core, the opening rim defining an opening of the recess opening toward the discharge port; a bottom face opposite to the opening rim; and a retaining portion having a width wider than a width of a portion other than the retaining portion of the recess in a width direction. the retaining portion disposed in a rear region between the bottom face and a center of the recess. The elastic member includes a first portion fitted into the recess and a second portion projecting from the opening of the recess toward the discharge port.
Abstract:
A sensor includes an electrode, an insulator, a pressure receiver, and a pressure imparting unit. The insulator is disposed at a position facing the electrode and away from the electrode. The pressure receiver is disposed on a surface of the insulator on a side opposite to the electrode. The pressure imparting unit presses a part of the insulator toward the electrode at a position different from the pressure receiver to contact the insulator with the electrode. The insulator generates power by contact charging or separation charging with respect to the electrode, to output the power as a signal.
Abstract:
A fluid purifying apparatus that purifies fluid containing organic matter has a reactor including a first transfer part that receives the fluid from outside and transfers the fluid in a vertical direction from an upper side to a lower side while heating and pressurizing the fluid and mixing the fluid with an oxidant, a second transfer part that receives the fluid that has passed through the first transfer part and transfers the fluid in the vertical direction from the lower side to the upper side, and a partition member that partitions an upper part of the reactor into the first transfer part and the second transfer part, and a solid storage part that communicates with the first transfer part and the second transfer part below the partition member and receives solid matter contained in the fluid that settles while the fluid is transferred.
Abstract:
An inner tube is provided with a protruding portion protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the tube, in a position extending throughout the entire area of the outer peripheral surface of the tube, in a region located outside an outer tube, of the entire area in a longitudinal direction of the inner tube inserted into a through-hole of a discharge side wall of the outer tube, and the protruding portion of the inner tube is pressed by an outlet joint toward the discharge side wall along an axial direction of the outer tube, and thereby, the inner tube is cantilevered by the discharge side wall.
Abstract:
An element includes an upper electrode, a flexible intermediate layer, and a lower electrode. The upper electrode having an uneven structure. The lower electrode is closely attached to the intermediate layer. The element is configured to generate an electrical signal due to contact and separation between the upper electrode and the intermediate layer. The lower electrode is configured to take a shape fittable to the uneven structure when the upper electrode and the intermediate layer come into contact with each other.
