  • Electrode-less lamp equipment
    Patent number: 6731074
    Abstract: An electrode-less lamp equipment with higher luminance by higher lamp-cooling efficiency wherein the airflow generated by the blower 9 goes through the ventilation hole 12 and spouts out from the open end of the lamp-cooling nozzle 15 and cools the surface of the electrode-less lamp 1 is provided. The velocity of the airflow is accordingly high around the lamp surface enough to efficiently cool the lamp. This makes it possible to raise the input power density to the lamp and to increase luminance.

  • Electrodeless lamp system
    Patent number: 6720733
    Abstract: An emission element enclosed inside an electrodeless lamp 5 is excited by an electromagnetic field of a microwave irradiated from a magnetron 2 for emitting light from the electrodeless lamp 5. A soft-starting method is provided such that an electric power enough to drive the magnetron 2 is gradually increased. The soft-starting method is to prevent the magnetron from being destroyed by self-heating due to a reflected wave of the microwave. The soft-staring method is used when a light begins to be emitted from the electrodeless lamp 5. Accordingly, the electrodeless lamp system is provided such that breakage of the magnetron caused by the self-heating due to the reflected wave of the microwave can be prevented.

    Abstract: A silicone adhesive comprises (A) a reaction mixture obtained by subjecting a partially condensed mixture of (i) a hydroxy-terminated diorganopolysiloxane and (ii) an organopolysiloxane copolymer having hydroxyl and alkenyl radicals and comprising R33SiO1/2 units and SiO2 units, and (iii) a silicon compound having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom and a silicon atom-bonded alkoxy radical to addition reaction in the presence of a platinum catalyst and (B) a crosslinking agent. The silicone adhesive exhibits at the initial a tackiness sufficient to fixedly secure a substrate. By press bonding another substrate to the adhesive-bearing substrate and heating them, the substrates can be firmly bonded together.

  • Electromagnetic wave absorbing thermally conductive composition and thermosoftening electromagnetic wave absorbing heat dissipation sheet and method of heat dissipation work
    Publication number: 20040054029
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave absorbing heat conductive composition is used to form an electromagnetic wave absorbing heat dissipating article that is placed between a heat generating electronic component which, when operated, generates heat, reaches a temperature higher than room temperature and acts as an electromagnetic wave generating source, and a heat dissipating component. The composition is non-fluid at room temperature prior to operation of the electronic component, but acquires a low viscosity, softens or melts under heat generation during operation of the electronic component, to fluidize at least a surface of the composition so that the composition substantially fills any gaps between the electronic component and the heat-dissipating component.

  • Heat dissipating structure
    Patent number: 6663964
    Abstract: A heat dissipating structure is provided which lowers the thermal contact resistance between a heat generating electronic component and a heat dissipating component, and markedly improves the heat radiation. The heat dissipating structure comprises a graphite sheet and a heat conducting material layer provided on at least one surface of the graphite sheet, and is positioned between the electronic component and the heat dissipating component. The heat conducting material has no fluidity at room temperature when the electronic component is not operating, but undergoes a reduction in viscosity, softens or melts, under the influence of heat generated during operation of the electronic component.
