As a means for achieving the object, a biodegradation treatment method is provided, wherein organic compounds are biodegradation-treated with strain N23, which is a constitutive 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacterium deposited under Accession No. NITE BP-02032, under a condition of pH 3.0 or higher but no higher than 5.5.

Biodegradation treatment method for organic compounds

A cold plate includes: a base plate including a plurality of fins aligned in parallel; and a cover that covers the plurality of fins and that forms an internal space between the base plate and the cover. The plurality of fins includes: a first fin group in which a plurality of first fins having a first width are disposed on the base plate with a fixed gap in a parallel direction between each of the first fins and a second fin group in which a plurality of second fins having a width wider than the first width are disposed on the base plate with the fixed gap in the parallel direction between each of the second fins. The second fin group is disposed on both sides of the first fin group.

Cold plate and manufacturing method of cold plate

A control system for a vehicle used by a plurality of users determines, in response to a request for unlocking vehicle doors, whether to permit vehicle door unlocking depending on whether or not another booked usage time range is registered after one booked usage time range in which a usage end procedure has been performed, or whether vehicle door unlocking that does not use an electronic key for the one booked usage time range was performed during the time from the end of the usage end procedure to the current time.

Vehicle control system

A heat spreading module for a portable electronic device includes a metal plate to which a heat generation body contacts, a first heat pipe that is attached along the metal plate, transfers heat of a heating region of the metal plate, to which the heat generation body contacts, to a region that is away from the heating region of the metal plate, comprises a first end portion and a second end portion, has a predetermined length, and a portion of the first end portion is arranged in the heating region, and a second heat pipe that is arranged away from the heating region and is longer in length than the first heat pipe.

Heat spreading module for portable electronic device

A vapor chamber having improved heat transfer capacity by efficiently returning the working fluid to the evaporating portion is provided. A hollow flat containeris formed by a base memberand a lidclosing an opening of the base member. Phase-changeable working fluid is held in the container, and finsare arranged in the container to transmit heat of a heat generating object between the bottom plate of the base member and the lid. The fins are densely juxtaposed on an evaporating portion in comparison with the other fins juxtaposed on the outside of the evaporating portion.

Vapor chamber

A cooling structure for a portable electronic device is provided, configured to accommodate, within a case having a sealing structure, a substrate on which a heat-generating component that generates heat during operation is mounted, and provided with a heat sink that diffuses the heat from the heat-generating component to a place away from the heat-generating component. The heat sink is integrated into an inner surface of an area corresponding to a front cover of the case or an inner surface of an area corresponding to a rear cover of the case, and a flat heat pipe flattened by being compressed in a thickness direction of the case is disposed such that one end is attached by being sandwiched between the heat-generating component and the heat sink while another end is arranged in close contact with the heat sink.

Cooling structure for portable electronic device

A heat pipe having enhanced heat transport capacity that can be manufactured easily is provided. The heat pipecomprises a sealed containerand a wick structure. The wick structure includes a first wickformed of copper fibers, and a second wick formed of carbon fibers. The first wickis sintered to be fixed to an inner faceof a flat wallwhile holding the second wicktherein.

Heat pipe

To provide an effective 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria culture method. Provided is a 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria culture method in which 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria are propagated using a medium containing diethylene glycol.

1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria culture method, medium, and 1,4-dioxane treatment method using 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria

An object of the present invention is to provide a constitutive 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria offering excellent maximum relative rates of degradation of 1,4-dioxane. As a means for achieving the object, the present invention provides a constitutive 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria being strain N23 deposited as Accession No. NITE BP-02032.

Constitutive 1,4-dioxane-degrading bacteria

In a heat spreading module for a portable electronic device configured such that a heat pipe is attached along a metal plate with which a heating element is brought into close contact, and heat of a heated region of the metal plate with which the heating element is brought into close contact is transferred to a place on the metal plate apart from the heated region by the heat pipe, the heat pipe is configured such that a container is formed of a pipe, a portion of the container arranged on the heated region is a heated portion, and a portion of the container apart from the heated region is a heat dissipation portion that dissipates heat to the metal plate, and the heated portion is formed in a flat shape, and the heat dissipation portion is formed to be thicker than the heated portion having the flat shape.
