Publication number: 20110064887Abstract: A process for manufacturing workpiece whose surface is to be plated by means of electroless plating includes an ozone-processing step, and a superficial-layer removing step. In the ozone-processing step, a workpiece body including resin and having a surface is processed by means of an ozone treatment by brining the workpiece body into contact with a solution including ozone. Thus, a modified layer is formed on the surface of the workpiece body. Then, in the superficial-layer removing step, a superficial layer is removed from the resultant modified layer by applying energy onto the modified layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2010Publication date: March 17, 2011Applicants: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKI, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Manabu OSAMURA, Toshihisa Shimo, Isami Kato, Takashi Yoshida, Takeshi Bessho

Patent number: 7432769Abstract: The oscillating unit 11 generates a signal having a frequency of n*f, i.e., n times a target frequency f. The control voltage generation circuit 21 compares the phase difference between a divided signal of a signal generated in the oscillating unit 11 and the reference signal, and outputs a DC control voltage according to the phase difference to the oscillating unit 11, thereby controlling an oscillation frequency. The divider circuit 22 converts a signal generated in the oscillating unit 11 to the target frequency f, by dividing the aforementioned signal into n equal units. By setting the oscillation frequency of the oscillating unit at n times the target frequency, the inductance and the capacitors can be formed on a semiconductor integrated circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2003Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toyota Jidoshokki, Niigata Seimitsu Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isami Kato, Hiroshi Miyagi

Patent number: 7403140Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a receiver, a digital-analog converter and a tuning circuit in which temperature compensating components can be formed on a semiconductor substrate while reducing component costs. An FM receiver 100 is constituted by including an antenna 1, a high frequency receiving circuit 2, a local oscillator 3, two digital-analog converters (DACs) 4, 6, a control section 8, a mixing circuit 9, an intermediate frequency amplification circuit 10, a detection circuit 11, a low frequency amplification circuit 12 and the speaker 13. The DACs 4, 6 have a predetermined temperature coefficient, of which output voltage is changed in accordance with ambient temperature. When a characteristic of VCO 31 is changed with variations of ambient temperature so as to cause a control voltage applied to the VCO 31 to be changed, output voltages of the DACs 4, 6 are also changed similarly.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Niigata Seimitsu Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Miyagi, Isami Kato
