Patent number: 10002817Abstract: A power module includes: a ceramic substrate that includes a principal surface and a back surface, and is provided with a plurality of metal wirings on the principal surface; a semiconductor chip mounted on any metal wiring of the plurality of metal wirings; and a resin part disposed around each of the plurality of metal wirings. Further, side faces of the metal wirings each have: a first region in which a plating film is formed; a second region that is positioned above the first region and that is a non-plating region; and a third region that is positioned between the first region and the second region and in which metal particles are formed. The resin part is bonded to the metal particles, the plating film, and the principal surface of the ceramic substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2017Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Hitachi Power Semiconductor Device, Ltd.Inventors: Osamu Ikeda, Takayuki Kushima, Shinji Okubo, Takaaki Miyazaki

Patent number: 9517954Abstract: A controller performs multiple regression analysis using an optimum chemical injection rate as a target variable and using one or more water quality indices of a raw water as explanatory variables and thereby derives a calculation formula for a basic chemical injection rate corresponding to the water quality indices. Next, the controller calculates the basic chemical injection rate corresponding to the water quality indices by substituting the measured values of the water quality indices of the raw water into the calculation formula. Then, the controller corrects the basic chemical injection rate based on a measured value of the water quality index of the treated water, thereby newly calculates a chemical injection rate, and outputs the newly calculated chemical injection rate as a control factor for a chemical injection pump while supplying the newly calculated chemical injection rate to calculation of the optimum chemical injection rate.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: ASAHI KASEI CHEMICALS CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Konishi, Shinji Okubo, Kei Hattori, Yutaka Gojo
