    Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes a sensor unit configured to detect a heat flux which flows from a target apparatus toward outside, and a determining unit configured to determine an abnormality of the target apparatus. The sensor unit includes a first heat flux sensor, a second heat flux sensor, and a thermal buffer which is disposed between the first heat flux sensor and the second heat flux sensor and which has predetermined heat capacity. The first heat flux sensor outputs a first sensor signal in accordance with a heat flux which passes through the first heat flux sensor from the target apparatus side toward the thermal buffer side. The second heat flux sensor outputs a second sensor signal in accordance with a heat flux which passes through the second heat flux sensor from the thermal buffer side toward a side farther from the target apparatus. The determining unit determines whether or not there is an abnormality of the target apparatus on the basis of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal.

    Abstract: An insulating substrate is prepared. In this substrate, plural via holes penetrating in a thickness direction are filled with a conductive paste. This paste is produced by adding an organic solvent to a powder of an, and by processing the power of the alloy to a paste. The substrate is then pressed from a front surface and a back surface of the substrate, while being heated. The conductive paste is solid-phase sintered and interlayer connecting members are formed. A front surface protective member is disposed on a front surface of the substrate and a back surface protective member is disposed on a back surface of the substrate, and a laminate is formed. The laminate is integrated by a lower pressure being applied while heating at a lower temperature, compared to the temperature and pressure in the process of forming the interlayer connecting members.

    Abstract: A diagnosis apparatus diagnoses an assembly state of an assembled component having a sliding portion. The diagnosis apparatus includes a sensor unit that detects a heat flux flowing from the sliding portion toward an outside, and a control apparatus that determines whether an assembly state of the assembled component is correct or not based on a detection result detected by the sensor unit. A magnitude of a heat flux from the sliding portion is different between when the assembly state of the assembled component having the sliding portion is correct and when it is incorrect. Hence, according to the diagnosis apparatus, it is possible to diagnose whether an assembly state of the assembled component is correct or not.
