  • Patent number: 7789782
    Abstract: In a silent chain comprising interleaved and relatively pivotable rows of link plates, protrusions formed in the link plates contact relatively pivotable link plates in adjacent rows so that the area of contact is reduced. The protrusions can be annular, or they can be in the form of arcs that are of a size and position such that the arcuate protrusions of each plate do not interfere with the arcuate protrusions of an adjacent plate as the chain bends during use. The plates can have rectangular protrusions, or arcuate protrusions each consisting of an arc-shaped collection of dot-shaped protrusions.

  • Patent number: 7651033
    Abstract: A noncontact IC tag 1 comprises a base film 11, a noncontact IC circuit 2, 3 formed on the base film 11, and a plastic film or paper serving as a surfacing sheet 4, having a non-conductive, lustrous metal film 6m formed by deposition, laminated to the base film 11 on the side of the noncontact IC tag circuit 2, 3. The surface roughness of the non-conductive, lustrous metal film 6m, determined by atomic force microscopy, is more than 10 nm and 100 nm or less as indicated by the center line average height Ra. In the case where the non-conductive, lustrous metal film 6m is formed on the outer surface of the surfacing sheet 4, a concealing layer 4a may further be formed on the inner surface of the surfacing sheet 4 in order to enhance concealing properties.

  • Publication number: 20080268996
    Abstract: In a silent chain, a flank surface which comes into contact with a sprocket tooth at the start of engagement has a partially protruding portion continuously formed along the longitudinal direction of the flank surface. Only the partially protruding portions of link plates that initially contact the sprocket teeth are positively caused to wear during running in of the chain, so that protruding portions of flank surfaces of other link plates that did not initially contact the sprocket teeth are brought into contact with the sprocket teeth.
