20080199724 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MULTILAYER CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND MULTILAYER CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT - A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic electronic component can prevent the occurrence of bubble trapping. In the method, when an external layer ceramic green sheet is pressure-bonded, for example, to a sheet made of a good quality paper having a rough surface, which is placed on a supporting member, followed by peeling off its carrier film, a first-layer ceramic green sheet is formed. The first-layer external layer ceramic green sheet uses a sterically hindered dispersing agent, such as an aryl ether polymer, as a dispersing agent. Since it is light in weight, the binder segregates at the upper side, and hence a C concentration changes in the thickness direction. More particularly, compared to a C concentration at a surface at a carrier film side supported by the carrier film, a C concentration at an open surface opposite to the surface at the carrier film side is about 1.5 to about 4.0 times. | 08-21-2008 |

20080225279 | LUMINESCENCE MEASURING APPARATUS - To increase the direct light received by the detector and decrease reflections from the detection component support structures, the luminescent substance is placed as close to the detector as possible. More specifically, the apparatus is configured so as to slide out a structure shielding the detector from light and at the same time slide in the vessel containing the luminescent substance therein until the vessel comes right under the detector. The invention can detect trace luminescence from a small-volume sample by maximizing the amount of direct light received from the sample and minimizing the decay of indirect light received from the sample attributable to interactions with the vessel for containing the sample therein, the structure for collecting light, and the structure for supporting other detection components. | 09-18-2008 |
20090022626 | AUTOMATED ANALYZER - A conventional automated analyzer has a mechanism for performing a stirring operation and a mechanism for performing a pipetting operation. The mechanisms are independent of each other. The time interval between the stirring operation and the pipetting operation is at least several seconds. A solid particle starts to settle out at the time of termination of the stirring operation. In the pipetting operation, an operation for suctioning a liquid is performed during a transient period of the process in which the solid particle settles out. The suction of the liquid containing a solid particle during the transition period of the process may cause a variation in the number of solid particles contained in the liquid pipetted. The problem is solved by means for simultaneously performing an operation for stirring a liquid reagent containing a solid particle and an operation for maintaining the reagent. | 01-22-2009 |
