  • Patent number: 11656581
    Abstract: An embodiment of an electronic timepiece includes a cylindrical exterior case, a bezel and a windshield member. In the exterior case, a circuit board is housed. The bezel is formed of a metal material to be ring-shaped, includes an inward flange part that projects from an inner side surface toward a center of the ring-shaped bezel, is arranged on an outer upper side of the exterior case and is electrically connected with the circuit board. The windshield member is formed of a transparent dielectric substance, arranged in the bezel and supported by the inward flange part. The bezel is configured to resonate with a radio wave having a desired frequency by adjustment of at least one of (i) a relative permittivity of the dielectric substance and (ii) an area of an overlap region where the inward flange part and the windshield member overlap each other.

  • Publication number: 20230044970
    Abstract: A control device has a learning model that outputs an estimated value of a second physical quantity that is unobservable under a condition of manufacturing a SiC crystal, from a first physical quantity that is observable under the condition of manufacturing the SiC crystal. The control device generates a basic learning model by mechanical learning using, as teacher data, a simulation result of a simulation model based on structural data of a SiC crystal manufacturing apparatus. The control device acquires measured values of the first physical quantity and the second physical quantity measured under a condition that the SiC crystal is unable to be manufactured while the second physical quantity is observable, and generates the learning model that corrects an output of the basic learning model based on the measured values.

  • Patent number: 8827435
    Abstract: There is provided an ink for printing a conductor pattern on a substrate, including platinum particles, wherein 70% or more of the platinum particles have a particle size of 0.05 to 0.5 ?m. Even when the viscosity of the printing ink is controlled to a relatively low level for use in ink-jet printing process, it is possible by such particle size distribution control to prevent sedimentation of the platinum particles and excessive shrinkage of the conductor pattern due to sintering of the platinum particles during firing so that the conductor pattern can attain improved conduction characteristics.

  • Ink
    Patent number: 8623939
    Abstract: An ink contains at least a first solid particle, and a second solid particle formed of a base material of a different main component from that of the first solid particle. The first solid particle and the second solid particle have zeta potentials of the same polarity, or zeta potentials of 0±5 mV. The first and second solid particles in the ink have the same surface property, specifically the same interface property in the ink. This makes it possible to use a common dispersant suited for adsorption on the first and second solid particles. In this way, more than one kind of solid particle can be stably dispersed using a sole kind of dispersant.
