摘要:
The present invention provides a solid electrolyte with high ion-conductivity which is cheap and exhibits high conductivity in an alkaline form, and stably keeps high conductivity because of a small amount of the leak of a compound bearing conductivity even in a wet state. The invention is useful in an electrochemical system using the solid electrolyte, such as a fuel cell.The solid electrolyte with high ion-conductivity comprises a hybrid compound which contains at least polyvinyl alcohol and a zirconic acid compound, and also a nitrogen-containing organic compound having a structure of amine, quaternary ammonium compound and/or imine, obtained by hydrolyzing a zirconium salt or an oxyzirconium salt in a solution including water, polyvinyl alcohol, a zirconium salt or an oxyzirconium salt and a nitrogen-containing organic compound having a structure of amine, quaternary ammonium compound and/or imine coexist, removing a solvent and contacting with alkali.

An electronic camera system includes a photographing ordering system and a photographing system. The photographing system includes an image sensor which photographs a subject and generates an image signal; a camera-side communication unit which communicates with the photographing ordering system; a subject judging unit which judges whether or not the subject is the person to be photographed based on the person identifying data when or after the subject is photographed; an image processing unit which generates the image data with the image signal; and a camera-side control unit which extracts the image data of which the person to be photographed has been photographed based on a judged result of the subject judging unit and transmits the extracted image data to the photographing ordering system.

A fuel cell system of the invention includes a tubular switching member 70 with slits 70a to shift their position and thereby vary an opening area of outlets of oxidizing gas conduits 36 in respective unit fuel cells 30 constituting a fuel cell stack 20. The system further includes a drive roller 74 and a stepping motor 79 that function to change over the position of the slits 70a. An electronic control unit controls rotation of the stepping motor 79 to actuate the tubular switching member 70 first to narrow the opening area of the outlets of the oxidizing gas conduits 36 to or toward 0 and then to widen the opening area of the outlets of the oxidizing gas conduits 36, thereby generating pulsation in the oxidizing gas conduits 36. Water droplets flocculated in the oxidizing gas conduits 36 are thus discharged to the outlets with high efficiency. The structure of the embodiment does not require any bypass in the respective unit fuel cells 30. The characteristic structure of the invention uses the frame of the unit fuel cell 30 equivalent to the existing one and does not substantially increase the size of the fuel cell stack 20.

The present invention relates to a retort food pouch which, when constituted of materials provided with characteristics demanded of retort food pouches, is capable of opening appropriately, and of appropriately affixing to another container as a pour spout when contents are transferred. The retort food pouch of the present invention is closed by an upper heat seal portion, a lower heat seal portion, and a side heat seal portion, and includes a notch portion formed to open toward a side edge on a top portion of the side heat seal portion so as to form a content pour spout at a cutting section where a corner portion between said notch portion and the upper heat seal portion is cut, and said notch portion comprises an approximately rectangular main body, opening toward the side edge, and an extended portion continuously extending from a lower side section of said main body portion; said extended portion is constituted to receive an upper edge portion of a wall forming the mouth of another container into which the retort food is to be transferred, and extends along its axial line in a direction approximately perpendicular to the side edge; and a precut is formed to extend from the main body portion toward the upper edge at an angle of 20-80 degrees with respect to the side edge, with said cutting performed along said precut.

The present invention provides a retort pouch which is made from a metal laminated film having the multilayer structure of a crystalline polypropylene resin film/an adhesive resin layer including a modified polypropylene/a metal foil/an adhesive layer/an oriented nylon film/an adhesive layer/a polyester film; and the retort pouch wherein a cutout for opening that is opening toward the side border is formed on the upper position of a heat-sealed part leaving some space from the superior border, an opening for pouring the contents is formed on the cut part by cutting the corner between the cutout and the superior border, and the opening is formed by cutting the corner along the line extending from the cutout for opening to the superior border at angles of 20 to 80 degrees to the side border. According to this retort pouch, the pouch is easy to open due to ease of tearing and does not easily lose the shape of the opening.

Provided in the present specification is an optical connector boot including: an attachment portion attached to a connector ferrule, and a cable passing portion through which a flat type optical fiber cable is passed, in which there is provided at one longitudinal end of the cable passing portion an inlet for introducing the flat type optical fiber cable into the cable passing portion, in which there is provided in the attachment portion an outlet for drawing out the flat type optical fiber cable inserted into the cable passing portion, and in which the inlet and the outlet differ from each other in orientation so that the flat type optical fiber cable inserted into the cable passing portion through the inlet may be twisted around its axis within the cable passing portion by drawing it out of the outlet. According to an optical connector of the present invention, a flat type optical fiber cable inserted into and secured in a ferrule is covered with the optical connector boot.
