Publication number: 20100107382Abstract: Method and device for treating a warp thread sheet. The method includes drawing off a plurality of warp threads from a creel, winding the warp threads, after being drawn off from the creel, onto a warp beam, combining the drawn off threads to form a rope, and treating the rope with a treatment agent. The warp threads are unwound from the warp beam before the treating of the rope, and the rope is formed between the unwinding from the warp beam and the treating.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: Karl Mayer Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbHInventors: Hans Gerhard WROBLOWSKI, Markus KUBE, Kevin S.

Publication number: 20100107387Abstract: A resonator having a membrane formed of a piezoelectric layer sandwiched between first and second electrode is suspended above a cavity formed from the back surface of the support structure. In one embodiment, the cavity walls are substantially perpendicular to the back surface. In another embodiment, the first electrode is formed in the cavity such that it is electrically connected to an electrode on the back surface of the support structure. In yet another embodiment, the cavity is formed via an etch through via holes in the back surface of the support structure, which leads to greater flexibility in designing a method of manufacture while reducing the need for alignment relative to other designs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: In-sang Song, Byeoung-ju Ha, Duck-hwan Kim, Yun-kwon Park

Publication number: 20100107388Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an electronic device, an ion implantation layer is formed at a desired depth from one principal surface of a piezoelectric single crystal substrate by implanting hydrogen ions into the piezoelectric single crystal substrate under desired conditions. The piezoelectric single crystal substrate in which the ion implantation layer has been formed is bonded to a supporting substrate, and a piezoelectric thin film is then formed by the application of heat using the ion implantation layer as a detaching interface. This heated detachment is performed at a reduced pressure less than atmospheric pressure and at a heating temperature determined in accordance with the reduced pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventor: Takashi IWAMOTO

Publication number: 20100107390Abstract: A multilayer piezoelectric device including a body having internal electrode layers and piezoelectric ceramic layers alternately stacked. The internal electrode layers contain Cu as a major component, the piezoelectric ceramic layers contain a compound oxide represented by Pb(Ti, Zr)O3 as a major component, and a metal oxide (Nb2O5, Sb2O5, Ta2O5, or WO3) containing Nb, Sb, Ta, or W, which is at least one of a pentavalent metal element and a hexavalent metal element, is incorporated in the piezoelectric ceramic layers such that the concentration of the metal oxide decreases with distance from the internal electrode layers. Thereby, even in a case where internal electrodes contain Cu as a major component, it is possible to provide a multilayer piezoelectric device which can be obtained by low-temperature firing while ensuring a sufficient piezoelectric constant.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2010Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: MURATA MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Atsushi Yamamoto, Yoichi Deguchi, Koichi Hayashi
