Publication number: 20210207266Abstract: A vaporizer includes a tank body, a porous member disposed in the vaporizer and heated, a supply tube configured to supply a liquid material to the porous member, and a gas discharge passage configured to discharge a source gas produced by vaporizing the liquid material to the outside. An outlet of the supply tube is disposed in contact with or in close proximity to the porous member. When the outlet is disposed in close proximity to the porous member, a separation distance between the outlet and the porous member is not greater than a distance from the outlet to a bottom of a droplet of the liquid material formed and suspended at the outlet by surface tension.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2019Publication date: July 8, 2021Inventors: Hirofumi ONO, Shigeo YAGI, Kenta YAMAMOTO

Patent number: 10867729Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a sintered body that forms a rare-earth permanent magnet, has a single sintered structure and an arbitrary shape, and has easy magnetization axis orientations of different directions applied to the magnet material particles in a plurality of arbitrary regions. This method forms a three-dimensional first molded article from a composite material formed by mixing a resin material and magnet material particles containing a rare-earth substance. The first molded article is then subjected to a deforming force and a second molded article is formed in which the orientation direction of the easy magnetization axis of the magnet material particles in at least the one section of the horizontal cross-section is changed to a direction which differs from the orientation direction of the first molded article. The second molded article is heated to a sintering temperature and kept at the temperature for a period of time.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2016Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: NITTO DENKO CORPORATIONInventors: Kenichi Fujikawa, Katsuya Kume, Kazuo Ouchi, Toshinobu Hoshino, Masakazu Morimoto, Hirofumi Ono, Katsuyuki Nakabayashi, Miho Yamaguchi, Hiroshi Matsuo, Toshiaki Okuno, Makoto Fujihara, Eiichi Imoto, Hirofumi Ebe, Tomohiro Omure, Izumi Ozeki, Takashi Yamamoto, Yuki Kato, Tomoya Matsuda, Shoichiro Saito
