20130079220	DESULFURIZING AGENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - The present invention provides a desulfurizing agent that can desulfurize hydrocarbon oil in a stable and economical manner over a long period of time under specified conditions, and a method for producing the same. The desulfurizing agent of the present invention is such a desulfurizing agent that is used in a desulfurizing process for removing sulfur components from hydrocarbon oil and contains nickel, zinc and a sulfur component, wherein a sulfur content except metal sulfide in the desulfurizing agent is 0.2% by mass or more in the total mass of the desulfurizing agent, and a proportion of the metal sulfide in the sulfur component contained in the desulfurizing agent is 25% or less.	03-28-2013

20110266036	LAMINATE TYPE CERAMIC ELECTRONIC COMPONENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME - A laminate type ceramic electronic component includes a thick film resistor and an overcoat layer so as to prevent defects such as delamination from being caused and to prevent the thick film resistor from being cracked after laser trimming, even when a method is adopted in which an unfired composite laminate is subjected to firing in such a way that an unfired ceramic laminate, an unfired thick film resistor, and an unfired overcoat layer are each integrally sintered. The unfired overcoat layer includes a glass ceramic material containing a ceramic and glass having substantially the same constituents and compositional ratio as those of the glass contained in the unfired ceramic layer. The respective glass ceramic materials constituting the unfired ceramic layer and the unfired overcoat layer are adjusted so that the ratio of a crystalline phase with a smaller coefficient of thermal expansion than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the fired ceramic layer is higher in the overcoat layer than in the ceramic layer.	11-03-2011
20130027175	MULTILAYER CERAMIC SUBSTRATE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - A multilayer ceramic substrate includes a ceramic laminated body including a plurality of ceramic layers stacked on each other, a resistor, and a resistor connecting conductor with a portion overlapping the resistor and an overcoat layer that covers the resistor located on a principal surface of the ceramic laminated body. An overcoat layer is made relatively thick during firing, thereby making cracks less likely to be caused, and after the firing step, the thickness of the overcoat layer is reduced by physically scraping down the surface of the overcoat layer, thereby reducing the trimming time. In the overcoat layer, a region that covers a portion in which a resistor overlaps a resistor connecting conductor is thicker than a region that covers the other portion.	01-31-2013

20110244590	ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND METHOD - A coloration state of a test region is read out as image density values by a readout device. A calculation is made to find a similarity degree between template information for the test region, which template information represents a state of coloration of the test region, and which has been stored previously in a pattern storing device, and the coloration state of the test region, which coloration state has been read out by the readout device. An analysis of an analyte is performed by a judgment device in accordance with the similarity degree, which has been calculated.	10-06-2011
