A heat pump type hot water supply device is provided with a heat source side heat pump unit having a heat radiating heat exchanger that condenses refrigerant to radiate heat from the refrigerant. The hot water supply device is provided with a water tank that stores water, a water supply pipe that supplies water to the water tank from the outside, a water circulation pipe that is extended in a bypassing manner and circulates the water in the water tank from a bottom section to an upper section, a heat absorbing heat exchanger that is arranged on the water circulation pipe and connected to the heat radiating heat exchanger of the heat source side heat pump unit so as to absorb heat, and a hot water supply unit that comprises a hot water supply pipe that supplies warm water in the upper section of the water tank to the outside. The water supply pipe is branched into a plurality of water supply paths including a first water supply path and a second water supply path. The first water supply path supplies water supplied from the outside directly to the water tank. The second water supply path supplies water to the water tank after the water quality of the water from the outside is improved by the water quality adjusting unit so as to hardly generate scale. Accordingly, one of or both of the water supply paths are selectively used according to the water quality of the supplied water. This suppresses the deposition of scale.

A water heat exchanger exchanges heat between a refrigerant and water, and includes a pair of flat refrigerant pipes and a flat water pipe. Each flat refrigerant pipe has a plurality of refrigerant passageway holes. The flat water pipe has at least one water passageway hole. The number of water passageway holes is fewer than the number of refrigerant passageway holes of the flat refrigerant pipes. Long side surfaces of the flat water pipe and a long side surface of each of the pair of flat refrigerant pipes are in tight contact with each other as viewed in cross section. The flat water pipe is interposed by the pair of flat refrigerant pipes.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel property detection apparatus that excels in durability and reliability and is capable of accurately detecting the biofuel concentration in a mixture of hydrocarbon fuel and biofuel with a compact and simple configuration. A fuel property sensor 22 includes a light-emitting device 28 and a light-receiving device 32, which detect the optical transmittance of a fuel in a fuel path 26; and a light-emitting device 36 and a position sensitive device 38, which detect the refractive index of the fuel. As the optical transmittance correlates with the RME concentration of the fuel, the RME concentration can be calculated from the detected optical transmittance. As the refractive index correlates with the cetane number of the fuel, the cetane number can be calculated from the detected refractive index. The optical transmittance is detected through the use of light within a wavelength range of 640 nm to 680 nm.

An electrolysis device includes: a container including a first circulation port functioning as one of an inlet and an outlet for water, and a second circulation port functioning as the other of the inlet and the outlet for water; a plurality of electrode pairs disposed in the container; and a power supply configured to apply a voltage to each of the electrode pairs. Each of the electrode pairs includes a pair of electrode plates. A plurality of the electrode plates are arrayed spaced apart from one another in the thickness direction of the electrode plate. In the electrolysis device, a water channel is formed by the plurality of electrode plates such that water flowing from the inlet into the container reaches the outlet after passing between the pair of electrode plates in each of the electrode pairs.

A polishing apparatus for polishing a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer has a turntable with a polishing surface, and a top ring for holding a workpiece and pressing the workpiece against the polishing surface under a first pressing. The polishing apparatus has a pressurized fluid source for supplying pressurized fluid, and a plurality of openings provided in the holding surface of the top ring for ejecting the pressurized fluid supplied from the pressurized fluid source. A plurality of areas each having the openings are defined on the holding surface so that the pressurized fluid is selectively ejectable from the openings in the respective areas.

A hydrophilic collector for alkaline secondary batteries is formed of a nonwoven fabric plated with nickel in which the nonwoven fabric is hydrophilized by sulfonation, a gaseous fluorine treatment, or vinyl monomer grafting. A method for making the collector includes a hydrophilizing step of a nonwoven fabric comprising at least one of a polyolefin fiber and a polyamide fiber, and a plating step of applying nickel plating to the hydrophilic nonwoven fabric. Preferably, the nickel plating is electroless plating, and the nonwoven fabric has a plurality of micropores extending from one surface to the other surface thereof. An electroplating film may be deposited on the electroless plated film, if necessary. This collector facilitates assembling a battery which exhibits improved high-rate discharge characteristics due to improved adhesiveness of the plated nickel film to the nonwoven fabric.

The present inventors conducted dedicated studies, and as a result discovered that propionic acid bacteria fermentation products have a preventive/therapeutic effect on functional gastrointestinal disorders in in vitro tests and tests using patients with irritable bowel syndrome, and completed the present invention. Specifically, the present inventors discovered, in in vitro tests, that the products have an effect of increasing the intestinal contraction frequency without changing the intestinal contractile force in a distal colon-specific manner. Moreover, effects of improving the defecation condition, general abdominal condition, and health-related QOL in patients with irritable bowel syndrome were also found. Furthermore, propionic acid bacteria fermentation products can be taken in large amounts. Therefore, the propionic acid bacteria fermentation products can be expected to have an effect of preventing/treating functional gastrointestinal disorders safely.
