  • Publication number: 20070170598
    Abstract: There is provided a flexible circuit board 22 that, when deposited on another flexible circuit board 40, causes no gap to occur between wiring films 4a, 4a, of the flexible circuit board 40. Moreover, a plurality of flexible circuit boards are deposited on one another to provide a flexible multi-layer wiring circuit board having no gaps between the flexible circuit boards and having less bowing. In the flexible circuit board 22, the thickness of a bonding layer 16, 16a, on the opposed side of a bowing metallic member 2, of an inter-layer insulating film 10 where which bumps 6 are formed is greater than the thickness of a bonding layer on the side of metallic member 2. When the flexible circuit board 22 is deposited on the other flexible circuit board 40 to form a flexible multi-layer wiring circuit board 50, the bonding layer 16, 16a can be filled between the wiring films 4a, 4a, so that the flexible multi-layer wiring circuit board 50 has no gaps and a less bowing.

  • Patent number: 7060374
    Abstract: There are provided a magnetic thin film utilizing a granular film and having excellent high frequency characteristics and a method of manufacturing the same, and a multilayered magnetic film and magnetic components and electronic equipment utilizing the same. A nonreactive sputtering is performed so that there is no oxidation of a magnetic metal, and a saturation magnetization is increased to increase a resonant frequency of permeability. Also, a multi-target simultaneous sputtering is combined with the nonreactive sputtering so that in a granular structure including magnetic grains and an insulating layer a size of the magnetic grains and a thickness of the insulating layer are optimized thereby ensuring a proper magnitude for a crystalline magnetic anisotropy within the grains and excellent soft magnetic properties.

  • Publication number: 20060068228
    Abstract: A laminated magnetic thin film has a laminated structure in which insulating layers and granular layers are formed alternately on a substrate. The insulating layers are formed of SiO2 films. The granular layers are formed of FeNiSiO films and have a structure in which an insulator is present in grain boundaries so as to wrap magnetic particles. It is possible to improve insulating properties of the insulating layers and the insulators and increase resistivity thereof by heating the substrate at the time of film formation. It is possible to control deterioration of a magnetic characteristic due to an increase in a resistivity and realize both a high magnetic characteristic and a high resistivity by changing thicknesses of the insulating layers and the magnetic layers and a ratio of the magnetic particles to the insulator to optimize a diameter of the magnetic particles having a composition within a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20050200692
    Abstract: A stencil printer of the present invention includes a print drum and a pressing member selectively movable into or out of contact with the print drum. A duplex master, formed with a first and a second image in the lengthwise direction thereof, or a simplex master formed with a third image is wrapped around the print drum in a duplex mode or a simplex mode, respectively. The stencil printer is capable of selectively performing a duplex print mode operation, which consists of a front printing step and a rear pining step following the front printing step, or a simplex print mode operation. When the operator of the printer selects the duplex print mode to cause the duplex master to be wrapped around the print drum and then replaces the duplex print mode with the simplex print mode, the stencil printer produces an alarm and inhibits the simplex pint mode operation from being started.

  • Patent number: 6931341
    Abstract: An apparatus that automatically adjusts self-noise and can lower the lower limit value of a measurement range by reducing the effects of self-noise on measured values. This apparatus corrects self-noise when amplifying an output signal from a sensor so as to conform to a sensor sensitivity G, further processing the amplified signal, and then outputting the processed signal as a measured value. This apparatus includes a sensor sensitivity adjusting circuit that adjusts an amplification factor so as to conform to the sensor sensitivity G, a self-noise value calculating circuit 4 that calculates a self-noise component F·N from the amplification factor adjusted by the sensor sensitivity adjusting circuit so as to conform to the sensor sensitivity G, and a measured value correcting circuit that calculates a true measured value F·S from the self-noise component F·N calculated by the self-noise value calculating circuit 4 as well as a measured value L containing the self-noise component F·N.

  • Patent number: 6792853
    Abstract: A stencil printer of the present invention includes a print drum for wrapping a master therearound, a master making and conveying section for perforating a stencil paid out from a stencil roll while conveying it to thereby produce the master, a master stocking section for stocking the master being conveyed by the master making and conveying section, and a roller pair for conveying the master out of the master stocking section. A movable master guide selectively guides the stencil paid out from the stencil roll to the master stocking section or the roller pair. A stretching member adjoins the print drum and is movable between a contact position where it contacts the stencil present on the print drum to thereby exert a stretching force on the master and a released position where the former is released from the latter. The stretching member and movable master guide are interlocked to each other.

  • Patent number: 5953985
    Abstract: In a stencil printer including a rotatable drum for wrapping a perforated stencil or master therearound, a pair o f inclined tension rollers are movable into and out of contact with the drum in order to smooth a creased master. The distance between the tension rollers sequentially increases from the upstream side toward the downstream side with respect to an intended direction of master transport. While the master is sequentially wrapped around the drum, the tension rollers pull the opposite side edges of the master outward. At the same time, the elastic member presses the intermediate portion of the master. The tension rollers and elastic member cooperate to smooth the master. The elastic member is located at a position not closer to the drum than a position around a line connecting the points of the tension rollers contacting the master, and where it can contact the intermediate portion of the master.

  • Patent number: 5907391
    Abstract: When an order for photographic processing is placed from the customer, an operator, first, operates a keyboard to input the type of photographic processing ordered by the customer. Then, the operator causes a card reader to read customer identification information recorded on a card, and causes a bar code reader to read a bar code recorded on a cartridge and representing film information, and further, causes a film-data reading device to read film information magnetically recorded on the film. Further, when an order for extra prints is placed from the customer, the operator loads a print order slip on which information for extra prints is recorded, into a loading portion so that the information recorded on the print order slip is read by a mark-sheet reader. As a result, the information required for issuing order forms is obtained, and three sheets of order form for a customer, laboratory, and photo processing shop, are issued by a printer.
