Abstract: Manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the steps of a conductive layer forming process for forming conductive layer 4 on outer periphery 2 and end surfaces 3 of substrate 1, a coil portion forming process for forming coil portion 7 having conductor 5 and groove 6 by cutting spirally the conductive layer 4, an etching process for etching the substrate 1 having the coil portion 7 formed thereon; an insulation resin coating process for forming outer coating 8 by coating a surface of the conductive layer 4 with insulation resin 13; and an electrode forming process for forming electrodes 9 at both ends of the coil portion 7, and for making electric contacts between electrodes 9 and the conductive layer 4. A chip inductor having a flattened mounting surface of the outer coating is obtained when insulation resin layer 8 is formed by an electrodeposition in the insulation resin coating process. The chip inductor can be securely mounted to a circuit board.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chip inductor and its manufacturing method, in which an appropriate insulation is applied between adjacent linear conductors of the coil unit to prevent occurrence of short-circuit and to enhance electric characteristics, and moreover the mounting surface by the exterior unit is a flat surface, so that appropriate mounting is realized. The constitution includes a square columnar main body (1) made of an insulating material, electrode units (6) disposed at both ends of this main body (1), a coil unit (5) connected to the electrode units (6) and disposed on the outer circumference of the main body (1) between the electrode units (6), and an exterior unit (9) having this coil unit (5) coated with an insulating resin (8), in which the coil unit (5) includes linear conductors (3) and grooves (4) formed by grooving a conductor layer (2) covering the surface of the main body (1), and the insulating resin (8) is also formed in the entire inside of the grooves (4).

Abstract: There is provided a document retrieval apparatus in which signatures can be easily extracted from document data, and false drop probability is reduced even for a long document so as to reduce a burden of eliminating the false drop. A processing unit converts the document data and the character string into character codes, respectively. The processing unit extracts signatures from each of the character codes, and calculates a record identifier of the document data to be stored based on a storing position of the document data in a record file. A data storing unit stores the document data to be registered in the record file, and stores the signature corresponding to the document data to be registered in a signature file. The signature is stored in a storing position in the signature file, the storing position being designated by the record identifier of corresponding document data stored in the record file.

Abstract: An apparatus for continuously taking off a thermoplastic synthetic resin sheet foamed by a vertical foaming furnace which has a rail fixedly disposed horizontally, two bodies mounted obliquely at the same angle in a linear symmetrical manner with respect to a vertical line and moving in parallel along the rail, a driver for driving the bodies, two holding roll rows having a plurality of holding rolls disposed in a zigzag manner along the longitudinal direction of the body, a pair of supports respectively wound on the holding rolls, and sensors having optical fiber sensors electrically connected to the driver and provided at each of the upper ends of the bodies. The interval of the two bodies is defined to be narrow at its top and wider toward the lower interval. The degree of the width of the foamed sheet is determined by the angle. The sensor includes two casing halves. One casing half contains a light emitting unit of the optical fiber sensor.
