  • Publication number: 20150123080
    Abstract: A stacked structure includes: an insulating substrate; a graphene film that is formed on the insulating substrate; and a protective film that is formed on the graphene film and is made of a transition metal oxide, which is, for example, Cr2O3. Thereby, at the time of transfer of the graphene, polymeric materials such as a resist are prevented from directly coming into contact with the graphene and nonessential carrier doping on the graphene caused by a polymeric residue of the resist is suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20140225861
    Abstract: A detection control system is provided that is capable of preventing erroneous operation of a touch interface of the single touch type. In a detection control system for a touch panel that controls detection of the position of operation of a touch panel that employs the single touch method: a series of operation positions upon the touch interface are detected from a first operation position at which the user starts initial operation to a second operation position at which he terminates final operation; a valid operation region is set by taking the first operation position as a reference; it is determined whether or not the second operation position has been detected within the valid operation region; and detection of the second operation position is invalidated on the basis of the result of this determination.

  • Patent number: 8327633
    Abstract: An exhaust pipe for a vehicle-mounted engine. An inner pipe inserted in an outer pipe contacts, at its outer end, with the inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe at a first position, the outer pipe contacts the inner pipe at a second position different from the first position, and thus an expansion chamber is formed between the inner pipe the outer pipe. The inner pipe includes a plurality of communication holes for communicating the inside of the inner pipe and the expansion chamber, thereby forming a muffler. An exhaust gas purification catalyst is provided within the outer pipe adjacent to the expansion chamber. On the inner peripheral surface of the outer pipe, a weir for stopping condensed water is provided between the outer end of the inner pipe and the exhaust gas purification catalyst.

  • Patent number: 8136627
    Abstract: An exhaust silencer device for an internal combustion engine which includes: an exhaust pipe (10) that forms an exhaust passage from an engine (1), and an exhaust opening; and a muffler (22) attached to the exhaust pipe (10) so as to silence exhaust sound from the engine (1). The piping lengths of the exhaust passages (L2, L3) on two sides of the muffler (22) are substantially equal. At least one of the two exhaust passages (L2, L3) equal in piping length has a hole (41) that makes the resonance frequencies of the two exhaust passages (L2, L3) different from each other.

  • Patent number: 8052175
    Abstract: An exhaust pipe structure including paired separate exhaust pipes configured so that the paired separate exhaust pipes are supported in a vehicle provided horizontally in a manner such that a vertical load is applied from a first exhaust pipe, by a moment that turns the first exhaust pipe about an axis connecting two support members of the first exhaust pipe due to a weight of the first exhaust pipe, to a universal joint, and a vertical load is applied from a second exhaust pipe, by a moment that turns the second exhaust pipe about an axis connecting two support members of the second exhaust pipe due to a weight of the second exhaust pipe, to the universal joint. The vertical loads are approximately the same magnitude and act in opposite directions to combine to be substantially zero.

  • Publication number: 20110036444
    Abstract: A center of gravity (G1) of a second exhaust pipe (12) is located on the side of an axis (J1) connecting two associated support members (16, 17) that is distal to a ball joint (15). Thus, creating a moment that applies a load (F1) to a ball joint (15) that presses the ball joint (15) up toward the vehicle body. In turn, by locating a center of gravity (G2) of a third exhaust pipe (13) on the side of an axis (J2) connecting two associated support members (19, 20) that is proximal to the ball joint (15) the weight of the third exhaust pipe (13) creates a moment which that applies a load (F2) to the ball joint (15) that presses the ball joint (15) down away from the vehicle body. Consequently, the load (F1) and the load (F2) of approximately the same magnitude act in opposite directions.
