Abstract:
A carbon dioxide absorbent and a dispersion aid are mixed and subjected to a dispersion treatment at least one selected from a supercritical fluid treatment, ultrasonication, and a stirring treatment. The mixture is subsequently added to a resin, thereby obtaining a resin material having good carbon dioxide emission reduction effects.
Abstract:
A DC-DC converter that converts a DC input voltage supplied from a DC power supply and that outputs a DC voltage with a different potential is shown. The DC-DC converter includes the following. A control circuit controls a switching element in accordance with a potential difference between a feedback voltage proportional to an output voltage and a predetermined reference voltage. A current supply circuit that causes a predetermined current to flow. A voltage correction circuit that corrects the reference voltage or the feedback voltage. The voltage correction circuit is configured to determine a voltage correction amount, based on information about a resistance on a load side input from outside when a current of the current supply circuit is output, and correct the reference voltage or the feedback voltage.

Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a photocatalyst material having a higher catalyst effect than conventional photocatalyst materials. The photocatalyst material of the invention contains, as its major component, a tungsten oxide powder excited by a light source which emits light having a wavelength of 430 to 500 nm, the photocatalyst material having a decomposition ability of 50% or more wherein the decomposition ability is given by the following equation based on the following test: [Test for decomposition ability]: 1 g of a tungsten oxide powder and 20 ppm of acetaldehyde (amount A) are poured into a 3-liter glass container, and acetaldehyde (amount B) is measured after light having a peak wavelength of 460 nm±10 nm is irradiated to the mixture for 2 hours to measure the decomposition ability (%): Decomposition ability (%)=[(acetaldehyde amount A−acetaldehyde amount B)/acetaldehyde amount A]×100.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a discrete track medium type perpendicular magnetic recording layer with reduced magnetic interference between tracks and enhanced magnetic recording density is disclosed in which protruding parts of a pattern of protrusions and recesses provided in a composite magnetic recording layer are formed in high quality having a similar film thickness and equivalent perpendicular magnetic recording performance to a perpendicular magnetic recording layer designed for a continuous film type medium. The method includes a first step of laminating at least a magnetic recording layer, a sacrifice layer, and a carbon protective layer on a nonmagnetic substrate in this order; a second step of selectively removing the resist film and the carbon protective layer at openings for forming recessed parts using a mask of a resist film pattern formed concentric to form protruding parts for constructing recording tracks; a third step of modifying the sacrifice layer and the magnetic recording layer exposing at the recessed parts into a nonmagnetic state; a fourth step of removing the resist film, the carbon protective layer, and the sacrifice layer at the protruding parts between the recessed parts; and a fifth step of depositing a carbon protective layer and a lubricant layer in this order on the recessed parts and the protruding parts.
