  • Patent number: 11986909
    Abstract: The present invention uses a flux containing a rosin, a solvent, a thixo agent, and an activator. The thixo agent contains a polyamide and a compound represented by general formula (1). The polyamide is a condensate between an amine and at least one selected from aliphatic carboxylic acids and hydroxy group-containing aliphatic carboxylic acids, and has an endothermic peak at a temperature of 120-200° C. In the general formula, R11 represents a hydrocarbon group having 11-30 carbon atoms. R0a represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 12-31 carbon atoms. R0b represents an n-valent hydrocarbon group having 4-12 carbon atoms. R21 represents an alkylene group having 2-6 carbon atoms. R0c represents a single bond or an alkylene group having 2-6 carbon atoms. n represents 1 or 2. When n represents 1, m represents an integer of 1-3. When n represents 2, m represents 1.

  • Patent number: 11986910
    Abstract: The present invention employs a flux which contains rosin, a solvent, a thixotropic agent and an activator. The thixotropic agent contains a polyamide (PA2). The PA2 is a condensation product of an aliphatic carboxylic acid, a hydroxy group-containing aliphatic carboxylic acid and an aliphatic amine having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and the aliphatic carboxylic acid includes an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having from 11 to 20 carbon atoms. With respect to the endothermic amount calculated from the peak area of the differential scanning calorimetry curve of PA2 as obtained by differential scanning calorimetry measurement, the ratio of the endothermic amount within the range of from 50° C. to 190° C. to the total endothermic amount within the range of from 50° C. to 200° C. is 90% or more.

  • Patent number: 10921656
    Abstract: A light control module including a light control sheet and a drive circuit that applies a voltage to a first electrode and a second electrode of the light control sheet. The light control sheet includes a light control layer switchable between a transparent state and an opaque state according to an applied voltage. The light control sheet has a feeding area for applying a voltage to the first and second electrodes. The light control sheet is formed such that when the light control sheet receives a voltage that causes a transmittance of the light control sheet to be equivalent to a Munsell value of 90% in a region closest to the feeding area, the light control sheet has a transmittance equivalent to a Munsell value of 50% in a region farthest from the feeding area, where a Munsell value of 100% is a maximum transmittance of the light control sheet.

  • Publication number: 20130001086
    Abstract: Disclosed is a crystalline metal oxide having a positive charge-induced region and a negative charge-induced region, which has a surface which has protrusions and recesses or a porous surface. The metal which configures the metal oxide is preferably an elemental metal or an elemental metal-containing alloy such as titanium, zirconium, titanium alloy, zirconium alloy or cobalt chromium alloy. The metal oxide is preferably one obtained by an anodic oxidation treatment of the metal which configures the metal oxide and the metal oxide can be suitably used as a biocompatible material or a member constituting a biocompatible material.
