Provided is a fatty tissue image display device capable of displaying an index indicating the degree of progress of fatty change. The fatty tissue image display device is provided with a light source (3), an ultrasonic wave transmission/reception mechanism (2, 5), an ultrasonic wave velocity change analysis unit (24) which calculates the change in the velocity of the ultrasonic waves after irradiation with a heating beam as compared to before irradiation with light, an ultrasonic wave velocity change image display control unit (25) which displays as a tomographic image the distribution of the calculated change in the velocity of the ultrasonic waves, a region-of-interest designation unit (26) which waits for the designation of a region of interest, a histogram calculation unit (27) which, on the basis of luminance information or color information within the designated region of interest, calculates the histograms of a fatty region showing a negative change in the velocity of the ultrasonic waves and a normal region showing a positive change in the velocity of the ultrasonic waves, and a fatty change index calculation unit (28) which, from the calculated histograms of the fatty region and the normal region, calculates a fatty change index that is the index of the proportion of fatty tissue.

A fuel cell has: an electrolyte; an anode provided on one side of the electrolyte and having a fuel-gas consuming face at which fuel gas is consumed; a cathode provided on the other side of the electrolyte and having an oxidizing-gas consuming face at which oxidizing gas is consumed; and a fuel-gas passage portion forming a passage through which fuel gas is supplied to predetermined regions of the fuel-gas consuming face of the anode. The fuel cell has an operation mode in which almost the entire amount of the supplied fuel gas is consumed at the fuel-gas consuming face of the anode.

A fuel cell is disclosed comprising: a power generation layer including an electrolyte membrane, and an anode and a cathode provided on respective surfaces of the electrolyte membrane; a fuel gas flow path layer located on a side of the anode of the power generation layer to supply a fuel gas to the anode while flowing the fuel gas along a flow direction of the fuel gas approximately orthogonal to a stacking direction in which respective layers of the fuel cell are stacked; and an oxidizing gas flow path layer located on a side of the cathode of the power generation layer to supply an oxidizing gas to the cathode while flowing the oxidizing gas along a flow direction of the oxidizing gas opposed to the flow direction of the fuel gas. A power generation area of the fuel cell, in which electric power is generated, has an upstream region including a most upstream position along the flow direction of the fuel gas and a downstream region including a most downstream position along the flow direction of the fuel gas. A midstream region, which is a remaining region of the power generation area other than the upstream region and the downstream region, has higher water vapor transfer resistance between the anode side and the cathode side than the upstream region and the downstream region.

To provide a simple and compact fuel cell system that prevents degradation of the performance of a fuel cell stack due to accumulation of impurities and improves fuel efficiency by reducing discharge of a fuel gas.An impurity storage section 30 that communicates with an outlet of an anode gas passage of each cell 20 and stores an impurity in a fuel gas is formed in a fuel cell stack 2. The volume of the impurity storage section 30 is preferably larger than the volume of a fuel gas inlet manifold 26.

[Means for Solving the Problem] In a current switch circuit A used for a current steering D/A converter, a current switch basic circuit 1 includes first and second transistors Tr121 and Tr122 included in a differential switch 12. A threshold voltage control circuit 5 has an output terminal Vbout controlling the substrate voltage to be outputted to the substrate terminal of each of the two transistors Tr121 and Tr122 included in the differential switch 12 for controlling the threshold voltage of the two transistors of the differential switch. Accordingly, the present invention improves the decrease in the dynamic range of the current switch basic circuit 1 dependent on the threshold of each of the two transistors in the differential switch 12 and realizes a wider output voltage range without causing deterioration in properties even in a case that the power voltage is reduced in the current switch basic circuit 1.

A fuel cell that can prevent local accumulation of a reaction-irrelevant gas in the fuel cell. A gas diffusion layer is stacked on a membrane electrode assembly, which is a stack of an electrolyte membrane and electrode catalyst layers. A separator including gas flow channels is attached to the gas diffusion layer such that the gas flow channels are adjacent to the gas diffusion layer. A gas distribution channel through which gas supplied to the membrane electrode assembly flows is formed in the separator. The gas flow channels communicate with the gas distribution channel at upstream ends thereof and are substantially closed at downstream ends thereof. The gas flow channels are configured so that downstream parts of the gas flow channels and upstream parts of the gas flow channels are adjacent to each other.
