  • Patent number: 8356118
    Abstract: A storage device is removably connectable to a host computer. The storage device includes: a storage unit on which one or more storage areas are allocatable to a plurality of users; and a control unit. The control unit is operable to, when the storage deice receives authentication success information indicating that authentication for one of the users is succeeded from the host computer or other external device, simulatively mount the storage area allocated to the authenticated user and unmount the storage area allocated to another user.

  • Patent number: 7754321
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a clad board includes: sticking a releasing film to a pre-preg sheet; forming a non-through-hole or through-hole in the pre-preg sheet including the releasing film; filling the hole with conductive paste; peeling off the film; and heating and pressing a metal foil onto the pre-preg sheet. The clad board has a smooth face formed on one face or both the faces of the pre-preg sheet, so that the conductive paste is restrained from spreading in an interface between the pre-preg sheet and the releasing film. This structure can avoid short-circuit between circuits and prevent insulating reliability from lowering. As a result, an yield rate is improved, and a reliable circuit board is obtainable.

  • Patent number: 7105277
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a printing plate capable of preventing paste of high viscosity adhering to an edge of a squeegee from being transferred to and left on a through hole of a printed circuit board when the paste is being filled by a squeegeeing method. The printing plate has a metal sheet (3) provided with a squeegee cleaning section (7) formed thereon and fixed to the back surface of a slanting area (5) of mask (2) attached to a plate framework (1). The through hole of the printed circuit board is filled with paste only after paste of high viscosity adhering to the edge of the squeegee is removed by the squeegee cleaning section (7), to prevent the paste from being left on the through hole, and thereby achieving the printed circuit board of excellent quality.

  • Patent number: 6528733
    Abstract: An inner layer circuit board with a convex inner layer circuit pattern having a predetermined thickness, a prepreg sheet having conductive material disposed in a plurality of through-holes and metallic foil are laminated to a substrate, and the laminated board is heated under pressures. After that, a laminated circuit pattern is formed by machining the metallic foil. In such multi-layer circuit board, a smoothing layer is disposed on a concave portion where no inner layer circuit pattern of the inner layer circuit board is formed. In this way, the conductive materials disposed in a plurality of through-holes are uniformly compressed. As a result, the connection resistance between the inner circuit pattern and the laminated circuit pattern becomes stabilized.

  • Patent number: 5114801
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic layer comprising hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles each expressed as BaO.multidot.Fe.sub.12-x-y Sn.sub.x Mg.sub.y O.sub.18 (where, 0.55.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.88, 0.71.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.1.05). The hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles contained in this magnetic layer each have Sn and Mg partially substituted for Fe, the Sn and Mg being perfectly solid-soluble, thus being capable of providing hexagonal ferrite magnetic particles which are superior in crystalline properties and small in variation of composition. As a result, the coercivity distribution can be made further sensitive, both the self demagnetization and recording demagnetization in the short wave-length range can be reduced, and a higher reproducing output characteristic is attainable in the high density recording range.
