  • Patent number: 11699670
    Abstract: A module that improves heat-dissipation efficiency and can prevent a warp and a deformation of the module is provided. A module includes a substrate, a first component mounted on an upper surface of the substrate, a heat-dissipation member, and a sealing resin layer that seals the first component and the heat-dissipation member. The heat-dissipation member is formed to be larger than the area of the first component when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate and prevents heat generation of the module by causing the heat generated from the first component to move outside the module. The heat-dissipation member has through holes, and the through holes are packed with a resin, which can prevent the sealing resin layer from peeling off.

  • Publication number: 20180370825
    Abstract: Provided are a method and an apparatus for clarifying industrial water that enable industrial water to be clarified to a high degree with a small amount of coagulant instead of an inorganic coagulant, such as PAC, aluminum sulfate, or ferric chloride, which need to be used in a large amount for clarifying industrial water and are capable of producing treated water having qualities particularly suitable for an RO membrane treatment. The method for clarifying industrial water includes adding a melamine-formaldehyde resin acid colloidal solution to industrial water in order to coagulate the industrial water and subsequently filtering the coagulated water. The coagulated water may be directly filtered with a pressure or gravity filtration device, or with a microfiltration or ultrafiltration membrane module, without being subjected to solid-liquid separation using a sedimentation or floatation separation device prior to the filtration treatment.
