Patent number: 5246535Abstract: A method of controlling the diameter of a silicon single crystal. In the course of manufacturing a silicon single crystal by pulling the silicon single crystal while rotating it relative to a crucible, a comparison between a measured diameter value of the pulled single crystal measured by optical means and a desired diameter value is made to determine a deviation so that the resulting deviation is subjected to an incomplete differential PID processing or the Smith method processing to calculate a pull rate and the pull rate is applied to a motor controller of a crystal pulling apparatus thereby performing the diameter control of the pulled single crystal through the manipulation of the pull rate.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1992Date of Patent: September 21, 1993Assignee: NKK CorporationInventors: Akihiro Kawashima, Tatsuo Sato, Toshio Okawa

Patent number: 5016986Abstract: In a liquid crystal display apparatus, in order to reduce the size and weight, an integrated circuit for driving a liquid crystal is mounted on the glass substrate including the liquid crystal panel either directly or by way of a tape carrier. That is, two glass substrates of liquid crystal panel are mutually overlapped with an offset, and a liquid crystal material is injected into the overlapping regions of the two glass substrates, and liquid crystal display is effected in this region. Further, in the non-overlapping region of the two glass substrates, the integrated circuit is connected either directly or by way of a tape carrier. On the glass substrates, electrodes for varying the optical characteristics of the liquid crystals are provided, and the integrated circuit drives the liquid crystal by controlling the voltage applied to the electrodes. Further transparent insulation films are formed usually formed on the electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 1989Date of Patent: May 21, 1991Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akihiro Kawashima, Hirokazu Yoshida, Yasunobu Tagusa, Kiyoshi Inada, Hideshi Makita, Yoshihisa Dotta

Patent number: 4714543Abstract: A starting slurry composed of raw brown coal and a solvent is heated and pressurized, subjected to gas-liquid separation and dehydration and then to hydrogenation/liquefaction. The CO.sub.2 -containing gas produced in the preheating/dehydration step and/or a CO.sub.2 -containing gas supplied from outside the system is blown into the slurry in the above-mentioned preheating/dehydration step, whereby carbonate-forming metal components in the brown coal are converted to the carbonates thereof in advance. In this manner, the hydrogenation/liquefaction efficiency is improved, and stabilized long-term continuous operation is attained.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1986Date of Patent: December 22, 1987Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho, Idemitsukosan Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishikaseikogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Aziasekiyu Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuo Matsumura, Toshio Ohzawa, Akihiro Kawashima, Osamu Ohkuma, Saburo Sawada, Shun'ichi Yanai, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Yasuo Sugino
