  • Patent number: 10186607
    Abstract: An object is to provide a technique that enables suppression of oscillation of a gate signal waveform. A power semiconductor device includes a power semiconductor chip, a plurality of collector main terminals and a plurality of emitter main terminals electrically connected to the power semiconductor chip, and a signal line. The plurality of collector main terminals and the plurality of emitter main terminals have protrusion portions which protrude from a disposition surface of the power semiconductor chip, respectively, and the signal line surrounds, with respect to these protrusion portions, an entire circumference of all the protrusion portions and is spaced apart therefrom in plan view.

  • Patent number: 8772400
    Abstract: The present invention provides a polyvinyl alcohol-based film for optical uses, which is excellent in stretching property and is used for producing a polarizing film excellent in polarization performance throughout the visible light wavelength range, particularly in the vicinity of the wavelength of 460 nm. The invention relates to a polyvinyl alcohol-based film for optical uses comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin is composed of only a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (A) containing a 1,2-glycol bond at a side chain and the amount of the 1,2-glycol bond at a side chain is from 0.01 to 6% by mol, or a polyvinyl alcohol-based film for optical uses comprising a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin includes a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (A) containing a 1,2-glycol bond at a side chain and a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (B) other than the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin (A) and satisfies the following expression (1): 0.

  • Patent number: 8057304
    Abstract: To provide a game machine capable of recording a play score for a team constituted of self and partners in a portable recording medium separately for each team, and executing team-specific game processing by using recorded data regarding the team. Comprising a means for reading data from a first recording medium mounted on a mounting unit of the game machine by a first player, reading data from a second recording medium mounted by a second player, and determining them both to be a team when a recording medium-specific ID other than self's is recorded in at least one of the first and second recording media and the means for ascribing information about a competition score during a game progress or a competition result from cooperative competition of the team to the recording medium-specific ID of a cooperator, to record it in at least one recording medium of the first and second recording media as team score recording data of the team.

  • Patent number: 7754318
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a water-soluble film, which is a polyvinyl alcohol film comprising a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A), wherein the water-soluble film has a time for dissolution in water at 20° C. of not more than 60 seconds in terms of a film thickness of 76 ?m, a b-value of the film is not more than 0.5, and a b-value of the film after leaving at 80° C. for 72 hr is not more than 1.0, preferably a water-soluble film comprising: a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A); at least two kinds of plasticizers (B); and a sulfite salt (C), wherein the content of the plasticizer (B) based on 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol resin (A) is 5 to 50 parts by weight and the content ratio of the sulfite salt (C) to the plasticizer (B) (C/B: weight ratio) is more than 0.02 and not more than 0.35.
