    摘要: A first-layer insulating film having a barrier property against a determined element contained in a ferroelectric capacitor as well as an oxygen permeability, a hydrogen permeability, and a water permeability is formed over a surface of the ferroelectric capacitor formed over a substrate. After that, heat treatment is performed in an oxidizing atmosphere. After the heat treatment, a second insulating film having a hydrogen permeability and a water permeability lower than those of the first-layer insulating film respectively is formed over a surface of the first-layer insulating film in a non-reducing atmosphere. A third-layer insulating film is formed over a surface of the second-layer insulating film. By doing so, degradation of a ferroelectric film under and after the formation of a semiconductor device having the ferroelectric capacitor is suppressed and deterioration in the characteristics of the ferroelectric capacitor is suppressed.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are an apparatus and a method for route guidance. The method for route guidance includes receiving a destination from a user; determining a current position of a vehicle; calculating a driving route from the current position to the destination; when an intersection exists within in a predetermined distance on the driving route while performing the route guidance according to the calculated driving route, confirming a ranking of a search link positioned on the calculated driving route among search links exiting from an end node existing on the intersection; comparing rotation direction information of the search link corresponding to the confirmed ranking of the search link with moving direction information of a lane on which the vehicle is positioned; and performing lane change guidance of the vehicle according to a comparison result of the rotation direction information and the moving direction information.

    摘要: An organometallic complex catalyst is disclosed for use in a cross-coupling reaction. In formula (1), M is the coordination center and represents a metal atom such as Pd or an ion thereof. R1, R2, and R3 may be the same or different and are a substituent such as a hydrogen atom. R4, R5, R6, and R7 may be the same or different and are a substituent such as a hydrogen atom. X represents a halogen atom. R8 represents a substituent that has a π bond and 3-20 carbon atoms. With regard to the electron-donating properties of R1-R7 with respect to the coordination center M of the ligand containing R1-R7 that is indicated in formula (2), R1-R7 are arranged in combination such that the TEP value obtained from infrared spectroscopy shifts toward the high frequency side compared to the TEP value of the ligand of formula (2-1).

    摘要: A positive electrode collector has a part connected to a positive electrode terminal and a part connected to a positive electrode tab. In the positive electrode collector, a fuse portion is provided between the part connected to the positive electrode terminal and the part connected to the positive electrode tab. In the positive electrode collector, a region closer to the part connected to the positive electrode terminal than the fuse portion is referred to as a first region, and a region closer to the part connected to the positive electrode tab than the fuse portion is referred to as a second region. An insulating plate as an insulating member disposed between the positive electrode collector and an electrode body is connected to the second region, and the second region is prevented from moving toward the first region after the fuse portion blows.

    摘要: This abnormality diagnosis system for diagnosing abnormalities in a plant is provided with: an abnormality diagnosis control unit which, with respect to an instrument parameter measured in a plant determined to have an indication of abnormality, predicts the development of the instrument parameter by extrapolation, and which generates an abnormality manifestation pattern that is a pattern of behavior of the instrument parameter after prediction; and a data storage unit which stores a plurality of abnormality model patterns PA, PB that are patterns of behavior of the instrument parameters corresponding to causes CA1, CA2, CB1, CB2 of plant abnormality. The abnormality diagnosis control unit makes a matching determination between the abnormality manifestation pattern that has been generated and the plurality of abnormality model patterns PA, PB stored in the data storage unit, and identifies, as the cause of the abnormality in the abnormality manifestation pattern.

    摘要: A lower-level master node sends, to a higher-level master node, a table-based write set as a bundle of combinations of a shadow copy of the database and a heap tuple map expanded in a memory, and the higher-level master node that received the write set verifies whether the update has already been executed and sends the record of this update to the lower-level master node as a transaction log including a table number, whereby the database can be updated efficiently and consistently from the lower-level master node to the higher-level master node, and from the higher-level master node to the lower-level master node under its control.
