  • Patent number: 10537909
    Abstract: A powder coating apparatus for attaching powder to a film includes a forwarding roll which forwards the film; a take-up roll which is arranged on the downstream side of a conveyance direction of the film with respect to the forwarding roll and which takes up the film; a film-forming nozzle which is arranged between the forwarding roll and the take-up roll in the conveyance direction so as to be opposed to the film and which jets the powder; a first casing or a second casing which accommodates the forwarding roll and the take-up roll; an apparatus casing which accommodates the film-forming nozzle, the first casing, and the second casing; and a pressure adjustment unit configured to set an internal pressure of the first casing and the second casing to be higher than an internal pressure of the apparatus casing.

  • Publication number: 20050279939
    Abstract: An infrared detection film of which a dielectric constant is changed according to a temperature change is characterized in that the infrared detection film has a composition expressed by Ba(Ti1-xSnx)O3 (0<x<1) and change in the dielectric constant for temperature change of 1° C. is 2% or more. Furthermore, the Sn composition x is not less than 0.1 and not more than 0.2 and the thickness of the infrared detection film is 2 ?m or less. With a dielectric bolometer including the infrared detection film, a highly sensitive infrared detector or solid imaging device which is operable at room temperature can be achieved.
