Patent number: 6294049Abstract: A polyimide precursor fibrid material which comprises a polyimide precursor that forms a polyimide having a property of no thermal melting when subjected to a ring closure reaction and which is substantially free from aprotic polar organic solvents, and polyimide paper, polyimide composite paper and polyimide composite board obtained therefrom. Since the inventive polyimide precursor fibrid material does not contain aprotic polar organic solvents, a polyimide paper product having excellent strength can be obtained from the polyimide precursor fibrid material, and a polyimide composite paper product and a polyimide composite board both consisting of uniformly dispersed components and having excellent strength can be obtained from the polyimide precursor fibrids and other staple fibers.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1995Date of Patent: September 25, 2001Assignee: Unitika Ltd.Inventors: Isao Tomioka, Takeshi Nakano, Mikio Furukawa, Yoshiaki Echigo, Masato Wada

Patent number: 5466732Abstract: A polyimide precursor solution which comprises a polyimide precursor and a solvent wherein the polyimide precursor and the solvent are not solated strongly. A process for the production of the polyimide precursor solution, as well as moldings and coatings obtained from the solution.The polyimide precursor solution of the present invention has excellent storage stability, and the solvent can be removed easily at the time of the production of moldings or coatings. According to the process of the present invention, the polyimide precursor solution can be produced easily using simple apparatus and an inexpensive solvent(s) having low toxicity. The polyimide molding obtained from the polyimide precursor solution has excellent uniformity and no residual solvent. The polyimide coating obtained from the polyimide precursor solution has excellent uniformity, no residual solvent and excellent adhesiveness to a base material.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1994Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Unitika Ltd.Inventors: Isao Tomioka, Takeshi Nakano, Mikio Furukawa, Yoshiaki Echigo

Patent number: 4745240Abstract: The see-through coordinate input tablet is formed of two oppositely facing elements each made of a transparent substrate provided with fine metal wires running in parallel on the inward surface of the substrate, the running directions on the two substrates being perpendicular to each other. At least either one of the elements is provided with a detecting resistor along a side periphery crossing the end portions of the parallel-running metal wires so that the accuracy and reliability in the detection of the coordinates of the inputted point can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1986Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Furukawa, Yutaka Omori, Klyomichi Ihara

Patent number: 4745241Abstract: In the inventive touch-operated see-through coordinate input unit, the contacting wires embedded in the upper and lower substrate sheets in a relative perpendicular disposition are divided into groups each of at least two of the adjacent wires and the wires belonging to the same group are bonded to the same electrode. When the upper sheet is depressed with a finger tip or stylus point at a crossing point of the wires on the upper and lower sheets, electrical contact can be obtained at two points or more between wires so that, different from conventional coordinate input units in which electrical contact is obtained at only a single point by a pushing stroke, the reliability of the input operation can be greatly improved also with decreased fatigue of the operator in continuous working of long time.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1987Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: Shin-Etsu Polymer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mikio Furukawa, Kazutoki Tahara, Yosuke Kunishi
