  • Inductor and method for producing the same
    Publication number: 20030151486
    Abstract: A lamination ceramic chip inductor includes at least one pair of insulation layers; and at least one conductive pattern which is interposed between the at least one pair of insulation layers and forming a conductive coil. At least one conductive pattern includes a conductive pattern formed as a result of electroforming.

  • Method for producing a conductive pattern and method for producing a greensheet lamination body including the same
    Patent number: 5647966
    Abstract: A method for producing a conductive pattern includes the steps of forming a mask layer on a conductive base plate, the mask layer having a pattern defining an exposed area of the conductive base plate; forming a conductive pattern on the exposed area of the conductive base plate by electroforming using a plating liquid which substantially maintains the pattern of the mask layer; and transferring the conductive pattern onto a support layer without removing the mask layer.

  • Engine exhaust apparatus and method
    Patent number: 5014817
    Abstract: An engine exhaust apparatus in which an exhaust passageway of the engine is provided with a plurality of sound deadening passsages. One common exhaust passageway from the engine is branched into first and second exhaust passageways. Each of the first and second exhaust passageways has a silencer or muffler including first and second exhaust outlet tubes with a shift valve mounted in one of these exhaust outlet tubes. A control unit controls the shift valves to close both when engine speed is in a low region, to open one of them when engine speed is in a medium region and to open both when engine speed is in a high region.
