Publication number: 20120006195Abstract: A gas-adsorbing member is charged in low gas-permeable container (7) through its opening portion, wherein low gas-permeable container (7) is constituted by a hollow cylindrical metal member which is opened at its one end and is sealed at its other end and, also, has body portion (9) extending from the one end to the other end thereof such that the length of the body portion is equal to or larger than the maximum width of the end portions. Then, a sealing member is installed within the opening portion and near the opening portion. Then, the sealing member is molten by being heated. Thereafter, the sealing member within the opening portion is cooled to be solidified, thereby attaining sealing of the opening portion. Thus, it is possible to provide a gas-adsorbing-device fabricating method capable of suppressing degradations of the gas-adsorbing member and capable of reducing the fabrication costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2010Publication date: January 12, 2012Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventor: Masamichi Hashida

Patent number: 4960736Abstract: Ceramic bodies are bonded together via a layer of an oxidation reaction product of a molten metal, which metal is present in one or both of the ceramic bodies prior to bonding. At least one of the ceramic bodies comprises a ceramic product formed by the oxidation reaction of molten parent metal (e.g., alumina from molten aluminum) and grown as molten metal is transported through, and oxidized on the surface of, its own oxidation product. One or both of the ceramic bodies used in the bonding process contains surface-accessible channels of residual metal, i.e., metal channels which have resulted from molten-metal transport during the ceramic growth process. When the suitably assembled ceramic bodies are heated in the presence of an oxidant at a temperature above the melting point of the residual metal, molten metal at the surface of at least one of the ceramic bodies reacts with the oxidant so to form a layer of oxidation reaction product which may or may not incorporate at least one filler material.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 1989Date of Patent: October 2, 1990Assignee: Lanxide Technology Company, LPInventors: Stanley J.
