  • Publication number: 20200149139
    Abstract: A metal plate used for manufacturing a deposition mask has a thickness of equal to or less than 30 ?m. An average cross-sectional area of the crystals grains on a cross section of the metal plate is from 0.5 ?m2 to 50 ?m2. The average cross-sectional area of crystal grains is calculated by analyzing measurement results obtained by an EBSD method, the measuring results being analyzed by an area method under conditions where a portion with a difference in crystal orientation of 5 degrees or more is recognized as a crystal grain boundary.

  • Patent number: 9145836
    Abstract: Provided are: an engine-mounted controller capable of being suitably used in a vehicle that carries out an idle-stop operation while the vehicle is moving; and a vehicle. An engine-mounted controller of a vehicle determines whether or not an engine is in a completely stopped state when an idle-stop operation is canceled. If the controller determines that the engine is in a completely stopped state, a first control operation for suppressing the transmission of engine vibrations associated with engine idling is executed on the assumption that the engine is in a completely stopped state, and if the controller determines that the engine is not in a completely stopped state, the first control operation is prohibited when the engine restarts.

  • Patent number: 9108641
    Abstract: A control apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes an actuator ECU. The actuator ECU acquires a crankshaft angle (stopped crankshaft angle) at a time that an engine stops operating. The actuator ECU identifies a crankshaft angle depending on an edge of a first TDC pulse of a TDC pulse signal immediately after the engine has been started or restarted. Then, using the identified crankshaft angle as a reference, the actuator ECU corrects the stopped crankshaft angle.

  • Patent number: 8960444
    Abstract: There is provided a method for separating an arsenic mineral from a copper-bearing material containing arsenic, such as a copper ore or a copper concentrate, to obtain a copper concentrate with low arsenic grade. The method for separating an arsenic mineral from a copper-bearing material by flotation includes adding a flotation agent containing a depressant, a frother, and a collector to a slurry composed of a copper-bearing material containing arsenic, and blowing air into the slurry to float a copper concentrate, wherein the depressant is sodium thiosulfate. The sodium thiosulfate is preferably added in an amount of 10 kg or more and 200 kg or less in terms of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate per ton of copper-bearing material to be subjected to flotation. Further, the oxidation-reduction potential of the slurry to be subjected to flotation, as measured against a silver/silver chloride reference electrode, is preferably ?10 mV or more and 50 mV or less.
