Patent number: 7458340Abstract: A secondary heat exchanger B for recovering latent heat from combustion gas includes water tubes 5 each of which is so inclined that a first end 50a is positioned lower than a second end 50b. Therefore, in draining water from each of the water tubes 5, water can be caused to flow smoothly into a water-inflow and hot-water-outflow header 6A connected to the first ends 50a. The secondary heat exchanger B includes a casing 7 which includes an upper wall 70a and a bottom wall 70b which are so inclined that the inner surfaces thereof extend generally in parallel with the water tubes 5, and the upper and the lower gaps 79a and 79b have constant widths s2 and s3. Therefore, the amount of heat recovery from the combustion gas passing through the gaps 79a and 79b can be increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Noritz CorporationInventors: Nobuhiro Takeda, Hiroshi Asakura, Akira Tsutsumi, Kazuhiro Kimura, Shuji Kameyama, Keiichi Amada, Hironao Matsunaga

Patent number: 6930390Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a simple process for manufacturing a flexible printed wiring board having fine metal bumps. A resin coating 21 and a resist film 24 are formed in this order on the surface of a metal film 11 and on the surface of each metal bump 16 formed on the metal film 11, and a pressure is applied on the surface to depress the resist film 24 on the metal bump 16, followed by etching. As the surface of the resin coating 21 is partially exposed at the depressed portion of the resist film 24, etching of the resin coating 21 proceeds from that portion to bulge the surface of the metal bump 16 from the resin coating 21. If the resist film 24 is formed after a flexible resin coating 22 is formed on the rigid resin coating 21, the flexible resin coating 22 can serve as an adhesive layer.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: August 16, 2005Assignee: Sony Chemicals Corp.Inventors: Yutaka Kaneda, Akira Tsutsumi, Hiroyuki Hishinuma

Patent number: 6638689Abstract: Photoresist compositions, which can attain high-accuracy etching without causing separation and flexible printed wiring boards prepared with the photoresist compositions are disclosed. In order to etch a polyimide precursor layer on a conductive circuit, a photoresist composition comprising a photopolymerizable organic material (A), a water-soluble resin (B) and an amino-group-containing resin (C) is applied on the surface of the polyimide precursor layer to form a photoresist layer. Then, the photoresist layer is patterned by a photolithographic process. The polyimide precursor layer is etched and the pattern of the photoresist layer is transferred to the polyimide precursor layer. The amino-group-containing resin (C) in the photoresist layer is combined with an acid anhydride in the polyimide precursor layer to attain good adhesion and high-accuracy etching without causing separation of the photoresist layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1999Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Sony Chemicals Corp.Inventors: Satoshi Takahashi, Akira Tsutsumi, Koichi Uno, Minoru Nagashima

Patent number: 6362433Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board that is intended to minimize curling is formed having a first polyimide-resin layer with a conductor pattern formed on one surface thereof and supporting that conductor pattern. A second polyimide-resin is formed on another surface of the conductor pattern and covers and protects the circuit of the conductor pattern. The polyimide-resin layers are chosen so that a difference between a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the first polyimide-resin layer and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the second polyimide-resin layer is 3×10−6/K or smaller.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1999Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Sony Chemicals CorporationInventors: Satoshi Takahashi, Akira Tsutsumi, Noriaki Kudo, Akihiro Arai, Koji Arai, Koichi Uno, Satoshi Oaku, Osamu Ichihara, Hiromasa Ota

Patent number: 6233821Abstract: The present invention aims to obtain a flexible printed wiring board with good flatness. According to the present invention, a copper-clad film 3 is formed by applying a polyamic acid solution on one surface of a copper foil 2 and thermally contracting the polyamic acid layer la so that the other surface of the copper foil 2 may form a convex surface of a curling surface to form a polyimide film 1. A polyamic acid solution is applied on the other surface of the copper foil 2 of the copper-clad film 3, and then the polyamic acid layer 5a is thermally contracted to form a protective film 5, whereby a flexible printed wiring board 10 is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1999Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Assignee: Sony Chemicals Corp.Inventors: Satoshi Takahashi, Akira Tsutsumi, Noriaki Kudo, Akihiro Arai, Koji Arai, Koichi Uno, Satoshi Oaku, Osamu Ichihara, Hiromasa Ota
