  • Publication number: 20150020957
    Abstract: A transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive product for optical use and its manufacturing method. The adhesive product has, upon affixing, stable peeling site selectivity between release sheets and both faces of a transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive product. The transparent pressure-sensitive adhesive product for optical use has an adhesive face (a) and an adhesive face (b) of dissimilar tackiness, and is formed of an addition reaction-type silicone gel. A relationship between an adhesive power (Ga) of the adhesive face (a) and an adhesive power (Gb) of the adhesive face (b) is Ga<Gb; the adhesive power (Ga) and the adhesive power (Gb) yield a ball number from 3 to 15 and a ball number difference from 2 to 12, in an inclined ball tack test (inclination angle 30 degrees) according to JIS Z0237.

  • Publication number: 20030180484
    Abstract: The present invention provides an extrudable, crosslinked, greasy heat-radiating material which can find completely new ways of use (in terms of methods of operation and putting it in a service area), because it can be formed into any shape after it is extruded from the container in which it is held (e.g., syringe or tube) to be put or placed in a gap of any shape between a heat-generating body and heat-radiating body, where it keeps shape self-retainability even when kept under a very light load, e.g., kept on a slanted plate, unlike the conventional thermoconductive silicone rubber composition or thermoconductive silicone oil compound, whose applicable areas are limited to formed articles, represented by sheet, and coating. The present invention also provides a container filled with and sealing the extrudable, crosslinked, greasy heat-radiating material, process for producing the container, and method of heat radiation using the container.

  • Patent number: 4839019
    Abstract: A limited current type oxygen sensor comprises an oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte, a detection element including a positive electrode and a negative electrode, and a heater element including a heater. The negative electrode is installed on one of the walls constituting a space communicating with a small hole for restricting the amount of oxygen to diffuse therethrough. The porous positive electrode and the heater are embedded in the oxygen ion conductive solid electrolyte layers.

  • Patent number: 4762605
    Abstract: A limited current type oxygen sensor comprises a solid electrolyte element formed from material having high oxygen-ion conductivity such as yittria-stabilized zirconia. Electrodes are provided on the top surface and the bottom surface of the element and are formed by calcining a mixture of small ceramic particles that are relatively sinter-retardant as compared with oxygen-ion conducting ceramics, of 200 .ANG. in average particle size fine precious metal particles, and a binder. A cover is provided over the second electrode and the cover includes at least one diffusion orifice that permits ambient gas to diffuse toward the second electrode.
