摘要:
A unit cell for a solid oxide fuel cell is provided with a substrate including a portion having a first porosity, a battery element formed on the substrate and having an electrode layer and an electrolyte layer, and a low porosity layer provided in at least one of the substrate and the battery element to have a second porosity lower than the first porosity. Sizes of a plurality of pores of the low porosity layer falls in a value equal to or less than 10 μm to laminate a part of the battery element on the low porosity layer.
摘要:
A gas permeable substrate comprises a porous metallic plate having a plurality of pores which form openings in an uppers surface and/or a lower surface thereof, and particles filled in the pores. In the gas permeable substrate, at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the porous metallic plate is substantially smooth.

A strength member, for vehicle use, extending in the vehicle width direction inside an instrument panel of a vehicle has a reinforcing bar in which a closed space is formed, and the reinforcing bar has a driver's seat side region, a central region and an assistant driver's seat side region, the reinforcing bar being composed of a metallic member arranged in the driver's seat side region and a resin member or a resin and metallic member arranged in the central region and the assistant driver's seat side region.
摘要:
The present invention provides a novel therapeutic agent for a lifestyle-related disease or a cibophobia, which is superior in controlling food intake, and a screening method therefor. Specifically, a therapeutic agent for cibophobia comprising, as an active ingredient, a substance that suppresses expression or function of GPRC5D, GPCR expressed in hypothalamus, a therapeutic agent for a lifestyle-related disease comprising, as an active ingredient, a substance that enhances expression or function of the receptor, a screening system consisting of a series of coexpression systems of GPRC5D and various G proteins, and a screening method for a substance having a therapeutic activity against cibophobia or a lifestyle-related disease, which includes use of the screening system, are provided.
摘要:
A method of producing a compound oxide of elements including at least one of thallium, bismuth, lead, antimony, yttrium, each of rare earth elements, each of transition metal elements, each of alkali metal elements and each of alkaline earth metal elements. The method is comprised of the steps of (i) reacting at least one of carbonate, basic carbonate, hydroxide and co-precipitates of each of the above-mentioned elements with an amount of citric acid that is less than the weight equivalent of citric acid needed to form a completely citrated compound, and (ii) calcining the partly citrated compound. The co-precipitate can be one of a carbonate, a basic carbonate and a hydroxide of each of the above-mentioned elements.
摘要:
A composite oxide synthesized by a citrating process and utilized in functional ceramics materials is prepared by the following process. Co-precipitants or mixtures of at least one component selected from the group consisting of carbonates, basic copper and/or hydroxides of elements which compose a composite oxide are reacted with citric acid in an aqueous solution or in an organic solvent. The elements are selected from at least one element of the group consisting of Y, rare earth elements, transition elements, and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal elements. The citrate compound formed is baked to complete the composite oxide.The composite oxide synthesized by this invention has superconduction at the most temperature of 93.degree. K. with excellent Meissner effect.
