It is intended to provide a method for producing aglycone from a glycoside efficiently at low cost without using an acid catalyst or an organic solvent. The method for producing aglycone, characterized by bringing a glycoside into contact with high temperature high pressure water. The temperature of the high temperature high pressure water is generally from 100 to 374° C., preferably from 140 to 320° C., more preferably from 200 to 300° C. The pressure of the high temperature high pressure water may be not lower than the saturated water vapor pressure at the temperature, i.e., a pressure at which the liquid state is maintained.

Disclosed herein is a planar magnetic element comprising a substrate, a first magnetic layer arranged over the substrate, a first insulation layer arranged over the first magnetic layer, a planer coil formed of a conductor, having a plurality of turns, arranged over the first insulation layer and having a gap aspect ratio of at least 1, the gap aspect ratio being the ratio of the thickness of the conductor to the gap between any adjacent two of the turns, a second insulation layer arranged over the planar coil, and a second magnetic layer arranged over the second insulation layer. When used as an inductor, the planar magnetic element has a great quality coefficient Q. When used as a transformer, it has a large gain and a high voltage ratio. Since the element is small and thin, it is suitable for use in an integrated circuit, and can greatly contribute to miniaturization of electronic devices.

摘要:
A parameter calculating apparatus includes a signal generator that generates at least two input signals which each contain different frequency components; a signal inputting unit that inputs the input signals generated by the signal generator to respective ports of a test object at the same time; a frequency component deconstructing unit that deconstructs an output signal which is obtained by synthesizing the input signals input by the signal inputting unit and output from an output port into the frequency components; and a parameter calculator that calculates parameters which indicate transfer coefficients among ports of the test object based on output values of the frequency components obtained via the deconstruction performed by the frequency component deconstructing unit and on input values of the frequency components of the input signals input at the same time to a plurality of ports.
