Abstract: A semiconductor device capable of suppressing separation of a sealing resin at an internal reverse surface is provided. The semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead on which the semiconductor element is mounted, and a sealing resin covering the semiconductor element and a part of the lead. The lead includes an obverse surface to which the semiconductor element is bonded, a reverse surface facing away from the obverse surface in a thickness direction of the first lead and exposed from the sealing resin, and an internal reverse surface facing the same side as a side that the reverse surface faces in the thickness direction and covered with the sealing resin. The internal reverse surface includes an irregular portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a catheter including a novel strain relief that prevents or suppresses kinks of a catheter body. An electrode catheter 100 including a hollow tube-shaped strain relief 200 that includes a hollow part 210 penetrating through in an axial direction, and a catheter body 10 having a base end part 10a inserted into the hollow part is provided, in which the strain relief has an outer-diameter gradually-decreasing part 230 toward a tip end, and the gradual decrease rate of the outer diameter in the outer-diameter gradually-decreasing part increases toward the tip end. The strain relief 200 includes at least two gradient change parts 241 and 242 where the gradual decrease rate of the outer diameter changes. In the strain relief 200, the inner diameter of the hollow part 210 gradually decreases from the base end to the tip end.

Abstract: The composite elastic yarn may be made from a wide, stretchable textile fabric or stretchable knitted fabric. A composite elastic yarn is obtained by drawing an elastic yarn 11 at a first draft rate to prepare a precursor composite elastic yarn with an inelastic yarn 31 and further drawing the precursor composite elastic yarn at a second draft rate of a value smaller than that of the first draft rate to make a composite with the removable inelastic yarn 31; and stretchable textile fabric and stretchable knitted fabric fabricated using this composite elastic yarn.

Abstract: This invention provides a composite elastic yarn from which may be made a wide, stretchable textile fabric or stretchable knitted fabric.

Abstract: A composite yarn and a method of manufacturing it are disclosed which makes it possible to produce a fine spun twisted union yarn (33) with natural grandrelle-like patterns. In particular, a manufacturing method of a fine spun twisted union yarn (33) is disclosed where the feed rate or feeding time of one of two fiber bundles (321, 322) is varied according to a 1/f fluctuation, and the one fiber bundle is spun and twisted with the other fiber bundle, thereby the one fiber bundle appears and disappears alternately on the periphery of the spun twisted union yarn (33.).

Abstract: A twisting frame 1, and a method of twisting yarn 11 in which a twist is applied to the yarn by signals having a 1/f fluctuation to yield a yarn 11 in which the yarn count varies with a 1/f fluctuation. The first aspect is a twisting method that applies twist to a single yarn or a plural number of yarns, in which a twist is applied to the yarn or yarns by setting the twist count to correspond to the strengths of serial signals having a 1/f fluctuation.

Abstract: In the blending and spinning processes, 1/f fluctuation signals are imparted to the feed slivers or rovings, wherein the blending ratio of the blended slivers, blended rovings, or blended yarn varies with a correlation, specifically a correlation with a 1/f fluctuation.

Abstract: A method for intermingling yarn, and an air intermingling machine 1 used therein, is provided that yields yarn with the comfortable feel of hand-spun yarn, on an industrial scale. In the air intermingling machine 1, intermingling is imparted to the yarn by signals having a 1/f fluctuation, wherein the degree of intermingling of the yarn vanes with a 1/f fluctuation provides a natural, comfortable feel.

Abstract: A spinning method and a spinning frame are provided that yields spun yarn, with the comfortable feel of a hand-spun yarn, on an industrial scale. In spinning frame 1, rovings 11 are drafted with signals derived from a numerical sequence of having a 1/f fluctuation or signals derived from a melody or other sound having a 1/f fluctuation to yield a spun yarn 13 in which the diameter varies with said 1/f fluctuation, thus providing a natural, comfortable feel.

Abstract: A weaving method for woven goods in which the warp yarns are disposed among reed dents of uniform spacing in a reed according to a sequence of numerical values having a 1/f fluctuation, thereby imparting a 1/f fluctuation to the arrangement of warp yarns.

Abstract: A weaving method and reed where the method is practiced with the reed having spacings between dents of 1/f fluctuations resulting in a woven fabric which has a warp density of 1/f fluctuations. The spacings are established by winding yarn having a 1/f fluctuation around the dent support bars with the dents positioned between the coils of wrapped yarn.
