  • Patent number: 7834413
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor photodetector and the like that can be made adequately compact while maintaining mechanical strength. The semiconductor photodetector includes a structural body of layers and a glass substrate. The structural body of layers is arranged from an antireflection film, a high-concentration carrier layer of an n-type (first conductive type), a light absorbing layer of the n-type, and a cap layer of the n-type that are laminated successively. The glass substrate is adhered via a silicon oxide film onto the antireflection film side of the structural body of layers. The glass substrate is optically transparent to incident light.

  • Patent number: 7690480
    Abstract: A soundproof material is provided with a first sound absorbing layer arranged on a vehicle panel, a second sound absorbing layer closer to an inner side of a passenger compartment, and an intermediate layer provided between the sound absorbing layers. The intermediate layer is constituted by two layers having a high-density layer and a low-density layer. The air permeability of the intermediate layer is set lower than the first sound absorbing layer and the second sound absorbing layer. The intermediate layer is arranged in such a manner that the high-density layer is adjacent to the second sound absorbing layer.

  • Publication number: 20090256345
    Abstract: The present invention provides a fender liner and a method for producing the same that allows reduction of noise caused by collision with pebbles etc. kicked by tires, that has sufficient rigidity, and that allows easier separation of attached ice. The fender liner comprises a low density nonwoven fabric layer, disposed on a side of the outside surface when it is attached to the outside surface, and a high density nonwoven fabric layer, the density of which is 0.6 to 0.9 g/cm3, in a thickness direction. The method comprises: obtaining a compound nonwoven fabric by intertwining and integrating a first and a second nonwoven fabric having predetermined amounts of mass per unit area and thicknesses respectively by a needle punching method; obtaining a nonwoven fabric laminated product for liners by heating the fabric from a side of the first nonwoven fabric layer with simultaneous pressurization; and die forming the product.
