Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an insulating tape that is superior in less-corrosive property and provides its product containing the insulating tape with favorable reliability even when it is used under severer environment for an extended period of time. The insulating tape according to the present invention includes a plastic film base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer including an acrylic polymer on or above at least one face of the plastic film base material, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a moisture content, as determined after storage in an environment at 60° C. and 90% RH for 24 hours, of less than 0.15 wt % and monomer components constituting the acrylic polymer contain substantially no carboxyl group-containing monomer.
Abstract:
In an instantaneous voltage drop compensating device, when an instantaneous drop occurs, an electric power transformer (8) performs an inverter action so that the electric power of a side-by-side placed capacitor (7) is DC/AC-converted and fed to a load (3). At this time, a capacitor's remaining lifetime diagnosing unit (100) introduces the DC voltage value, the DC current value, and the temperature value of the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) thereinto, and uses a prestored program for computing a remaining lifetime, thereby diagnosing the remaining lifetime, for which the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) can be used under the state where a capacitor discharge time period exceeds a rated compensation time period. As a result, the remaining lifetime, for which the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) can be used, can be diagnosed under the situations where the discharge time period for the side-by-side placed capacitor (7) to discharge while outputting the rated electric power exceeds the rated compensation time period required as the time period for which an electric power compensating device has to output the rated electric power.

A superconducting magnet includes: first and second torus coolant containers substantially symmetrically, vertically arranged to have a space and a symmetrical plane therebetween for storing a coolant. Each of the first and second torus coolant containers includes therein a main coil bobbin with a main coil for generating a measurement magnetic field, a shield coil bobbin with a shield coil for generating a shielding magnetic field for suppressing outside leak of the measurement magnetic field, a plate member vertically reinforced at a plane thereof opposite to a plane thereof facing the symmetrical plane for supporting the shield coil bobbin and the main coil bobbin. The main coil bobbin is further supported by the shield coil bobbin, to cause the main coil to generate the measurement magnetic field having a substantially uniform magnetic field intensity at a middle region of the space. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus using the superconducting magnet is also disclosed.
