Abstract:
A process for easily producing an L-α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt, which is useful as a drug intermediate, from a cheap easily procurable raw material through an enzymatic D-stereoselective hydrolysis of racemic 5-halomethyl-5-methyl-hydantoin. L-α-methylcysteine derivative or its salt is produced by converting racemic 5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin to L-5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin through an enzymatic D-stereoselective hydrolysis, reacting the L-5-halomethyl-5-methylhydantoin with a sulfurizing agent into L-5-methyl-5-thiomethylhydantoin and hydrolyzing the L-5-methyl-5-thiomethylhydantoin.

Abstract:
The electronic device includes a substrate, a lower conductive film provided on the substrate, a functional film provided on the lower conductive film, and a crystallinity barrier film provided between the lower conductive film and the functional film. The present invention prevents the crystallinity of the functional film being affected by the crystallinity or the material selection of the lower conductive film, so it becomes possible to use a low-cost metal such as aluminum (Al) for the lower conductive film, and to use a low-cost method for forming the film, thereby making it possible to improve the crystallinity of the functional film without using a costly film-formation method such as epitaxial growth. For the crystallinity barrier film, there can be used a material having an amorphous structure.
Abstract:
An electronic component of an embodiment of the present invention comprises a first piezoelectric thin film resonator and a second piezoelectric thin film resonator. The first piezoelectric thin film resonator and second piezoelectric thin film resonator are a piezoelectric thin film resonator that has a structure in which a piezoelectric thin film is interposed between a lower electrode and an upper electrode, that is constituted in an area where the lower electrode, piezoelectric thin film, and upper electrode overlap each other, and that obtains a signal with a predetermined resonance frequency by bulk waves propagating inside the piezoelectric thin film. The interval between a part of a periphery of the first piezoelectric thin film resonator and a part of a periphery of the second piezoelectric thin film resonator that face each other is not constant.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric thin film resonator 10 has a device substrate 11 and multilayer films 12 to 15, containing a piezoelectric film 14, formed on the device substrate 11. The piezoelectric thin film resonator 10 generates a signal of predetermined resonance frequency using bulk acoustic wave propagating inside the piezoelectric film 14. The end face of the multilayer film 12 is positioned inward from the end face of the device substrate 11. With the configuration, a handling tool 16 does not contact with the multilayer films 12 to 15 when handling the piezoelectric thin film resonator 10, which prevents the multilayer films 12 to 15 from damages such as film-separation.

Abstract:
A method and system for desulfurizing flue gas in which desulfurization is effected by bringing absorbent slurry containing limestone into contact with flue gas. The method classifies absorbent slurry extracted from a desulfurization absorber, returns a fine-side fluid to the desulfurization absorber, and sends a coarse-side fluid to a solid-liquid separator. Supplied limestone powder is mixed to yield limestone slurry by a solid-liquid mixer, and the limestone slurry is classified, sending the small-particle fluid component thereof to the desulfurization absorber, and sending the large-particle fluid component thereof to a limestone fine grinder. And, limestone contained in the large-particle fluid component is finely ground by the limestone fine grinder and the finely ground limestone is sent to the desulfurization absorber. According to the desulfurization method and system, the concentration of limestone in the desulfurization absorber is increased while the concentration of residual limestone in by-product gypsum is kept low, whereby the desulfurization performance of the absorber can be enhanced, and the operation power for the whole system can be decreased.
