  • Patent number: 11983583
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a multilayer chip component according to an aspect of the present disclosure, laser processing is used for forming dots of a two-dimensional code. This laser processing is laser processing with respect to a laminate substrate in a state before baking is performed, and an impact at the time of processing is absorbed to a certain degree due to elastic deformation of the laminate substrate. For this reason, according to the manufacturing method, occurrence of cracking can be curbed compared to laser processing with respect to an element body in a state after baking is performed.

  • Patent number: 11568192
    Abstract: In a multilayer chip component according to an aspect of the present disclosure, dots of a two-dimensional code provided on a main surface of an element body has a semicircular cross-sectional shape. That is, since substantially no corner portions are present in a cross-sectional shape of the dots, stress is unlikely to remain when the dots are formed, and stress is unlikely to be concentrated after the dots are formed. Therefore, cracking is unlikely to occur in the foregoing multilayer chip component.

  • Publication number: 20210248435
    Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a multilayer chip component according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a two-dimensional code is formed in each of green chips divided in a dividing step. In the two-dimensional code, a substrate ID identifying a laminate substrate and an individual body ID identifying an individual multilayer chip component are associated with each other. Therefore, it is possible to accurately and quickly discern which laminate substrate a multilayer chip component is manufactured from by reading the two-dimensional code of the multilayer chip component, and thus high traceability can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160167285
    Abstract: In manufacturing a hollow molded article by an apparatus for manufacturing a hollow molded article, a pair of molding dies and another pair of molding dies disposed to position a sheet-like parison therebetween are provided, and the sheet-like parison is transformed into a predetermined shape. Built-in parts are fixed by piston portions to the transformed sheet-like parison, then, at a position between a portion transformed by the pair of molding dies and another portion transformed by the other pair of molding dies, the sheet-like parison is cut by a cutter. After this cutting, predetermined molding dies are faced each other to be clamped. Thereby, both of transformed sheet-like parisons are joined together to manufacture a hollow molded article.

  • Patent number: 6768800
    Abstract: An active noise controller includes a duct (2) of a stainless steel having the shape of a pipe and provided with an opening (1) at a first end thereof, and a loudspeaker (3)connected to a second end of the duct (2). The duct (2) is disposed with its opening (1) located at a distance not greater than half the wavelength of a sound produced by a sound source (4) from the sound source (4) so as to face the sound source (4). A sound produced by the vibration of the vibrating member (5) of the loudspeaker (3) travels from the second end of the duct (2) through the duct (2) to the first end of the same, and the sound is radiated toward the sound source (4). The sound radiated through the opening (1) has a frequency substantially equal to that of an unnecessary sound included in the sound produced by the sound source (4), an amplitude substantially equal to that of the unnecessary sound and a phase substantially opposite to that of the unnecessary sound.

  • Patent number: 6547551
    Abstract: In a conventional multilayer crosshead, only one pressure sensor is disposed in the inlet of the annular passage, preventing monitoring of membrane discontinuities; parison thickness is not constant; as the crosshead body is not cooled and parison temperature is high, a long time is required for cooling during blow molding, preventing the reduction of the molding cycle. A multilayer crosshead according to the present invention includes pressure sensors disposed in at least two positions of the annular passage so that the flow rate is controlled and monitored so as to eliminate the pressure difference between the pressure sensors, and parison temperature is lowered to a greater degree by a cooling jacket with a built-in heater disposed in the crosshead body so that a blow molding cycle is shortened.

  • Patent number: 6537056
    Abstract: In a conventional needle blow nozzle and blow molding apparatus, because a needle portion is formed to have a linear tip, resistance against insertion of the nozzle into a parison is large and only a small-diameter needle blow nozzle can be inserted into the parison. For this reason, it has been difficult to increase an amount of air supplied to the interior of the parison and to shorten the molding cycle. With a needle blow nozzle, an air cooling method and apparatus, a blow molding method and apparatus, and a blow molded product according to the present invention, since a needle portion of the needle blow nozzle is formed into an umbrella-like shape, the tip of the needle portion provides a pointed needle center so that resistance against insertion of the nozzle into a parison is reduced and a large-diameter needle blow nozzle can be employed.

  • Patent number: 4981526
    Abstract: A composition for brazing aluminum or aluminum alloy characterized in that said composition contains aluminum alloy powder for brazing and thermoplastic acryl-based resin binder which is so volatile as to volatilize before being carbonized at a brazing temperature and said resin binder of 0.1 to 50 parts is used for aluminum alloy powder of 100 parts. When this technological idea was applied to brazing with a brazing material of aluminum alloy powder such as, for example, Al-Si, a preferable result of brazing could be obtained.
