  • Publication number: 20110253345
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a low-cost production method for a heat transportation device with which efficient production with a small number of steps is possible. [Solving Means] A capillary member (5) having a larger thickness than a frame member (2) is mounted on an inner surface (11) of a lower plate member (1). Subsequently, the frame member (2) is mounted on the inner surface (11) of the lower plate member (1), and an upper plate member (3) is mounted on the capillary member (5). Due to a difference between the thickness of the capillary member (5) and the thickness of the frame member (2), a squashing amount (G) is provided between the frame member (2) and the upper plate member (3). Then, the lower plate member (1) and the upper plate member (3) are diffusion-bonded with the frame member (2). At this time, the capillary member (5) is compressed by an amount corresponding to the squashing amount (G).

  • Patent number: 6962082
    Abstract: The invention provides an acoustic diagnosis/measurement apparatus/method using a pulse of electromagnetic force, capable of non-destructively and precisely diagnosing or measuring corrosion, adhesion, the cover depth, and/or the diameter of a reinforcing iron rod in a structure made of reinforced concrete. A coil 12 is attached to a surface of a structure 11 including a conductor 11a and a non-conductive material 11b covering the conductor 11a. A current pulse is applied to the coil 12 thereby generating a magnetic field pulse. The magnetic field pulse causes an eddy current to be induced in the conductor 11a. The conductor 11a is oscillated by interaction between the eddy current and the magnetic field pulse. As a result, an acoustic signal is generated by the conductor 11a and the acoustic signal is converted into an eclectic signal by an acoustic transducer 14 disposed to the surface of the structure 11.

  • Patent number: 6892779
    Abstract: The invention provides an assembly of a pneumatic tire and a rim. The tire has at least one carcass ply 2 and a belt layer 8. The ply 2 is composed of ply cords and has end portions. The belt layer 8 is composed of belt cords provided outside of the ply 2. Each belt cord extends in a direction intersecting the ply cord. Each of the end portions is held in the rim 12. The width of the tire is maximum in a circumferential cross section “T” with a cylindrical shape with respect to the center axis “D” of the tire. The cross section “T” extends through the rim 10. When the tire is rolled under a load and a stress is applied on the tire as an arrow “X”, a neighboring portion 2d near the end portions 2a, 2b is considerably bending-deformed as arrows “Y” to absorb the stress. The roundness of the belt layer 8 is thus preserved to reduce the rolling resistance of the tire considerably.
