Publication number: 20230285923Abstract: The present invention easily provides microcapsules by using a production method according to a more efficient and reliable interfacial polymerization method even when it is difficult to produce microcapsules by an interfacial polymerization method by adding a solution of a film-forming substance. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing microcapsules using two types of emulsion particles differing in size, the method comprising: an emulsion-forming step of separately forming two types of emulsions (1) and (2) whose continuous phases are common, wherein emulsion particles (1) of the emulsion (1) comprises one of two types of monomers which react with each other to form a film and emulsion particles (2) of the emulsion (2) comprises the other monomer; and a microcapsule-forming step of mixing and interfacial-polymerizing the emulsion (1) and the emulsion (2), wherein the emulsion particles (1) of the emulsion (1) have an average particle size (R) of 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2021Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Takehiro NISHIKAWA, Taku HASHIMOTO, Hideo SUGIMOTO, Ai NISHIBAYASHI

Patent number: 10036862Abstract: In a connector, a guide member to which an optical connector is fixed is provided with a first guide portion. The optical connector is provided with a second guide portion at a tip portion, in a mating direction, of a holding member thereof. The optical connector has a ferrule with a tip, and the tip is located between the first guide portion and the second guide portion in the mating direction. When the connector is connected to a structural body and before the optical connector reaches an accommodating portion, the first guide portion performs rough positioning of the optical connector with respect to the accommodating portion in a plane perpendicular to the mating direction. When the connector is connected to the structural body, the second guide portion guides the optical connector into the accommodating portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2017Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, LimitedInventors: Naoki Katagiyama, Takayuki Tanaka, Hideo Sugimoto, Hideto Shimazu
