  • Publication number: 20060124345
    Abstract: A device-incorporated substrate and a method of manufacturing a device-incorporated substrate, as well as a printed circuit board and a method of manufacturing a printed circuit board in which a fine-pitch conductor pattern can be formed on an insulating layer with high precision while securing the dimensional stability of the conductor pattern, are provided. A transfer sheet (61) has a structure that includes two layers, a metal base material (62) and a dissolvee metal layer (64), and a conductor pattern (55) is formed on the dissolvee metal layer (64) through electroplating. Then, after the transfer sheet (61) on which the conductor pattern (55) is formed is adhered onto an insulating base material (51), the transfer sheet (61) is removed through a step of separating the metal base material (62) from the dissolvee metal layer (64), and a step of selectively dissolving and removing the dissolvee metal layer (64) with respect to the conductor pattern (55).

  • Patent number: 7053315
    Abstract: To provide a junction structure and a junction method for conductive projection advantageous in that a required reinforcement strength can be obtained while suppressing the amount of a reinforcing resin material supplied to prevent warpage due to curing shrinkage. A conductive projection is joined to the surface of a conductor portion formed at the same level as that of the surface of the insulating layer so that a root portion of the projection is surrounded by a fillet-form resin material. The resin material contains an activator which assists in the junction between the conductive projection and the conductor portion when the resin material is in an uncured state, and is fused by heating to wet and rise the root portion of the conductive projection so as to be in a fillet form. The resin material is cured by an ultraviolet light while excluding the resin material on the conductor portion.

  • Publication number: 20050142852
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring substrate, which can preserve the dimensional stability of a conductor pattern at a fine pitch, solve the restriction on a process from the viewpoint of material selection, and further reduce a manufacturing cost, and a multilayer wiring substrate. A second wiring substrate formed on a supporting sheet made of metal and an adhesive layer are partially stacked on a predetermined region of a first wiring substrate by using the supporting sheet. After the lamination of the second wiring substrate, the supporting sheet is finally etched and removed. The second wiring substrate is stacked only on the portion required to be multilayered on the first wiring substrate to thereby reduce the amount of the construction material of the second wiring substrate.

  • Patent number: 6156242
    Abstract: A cavity 22 in an injection molding assembly includes a lower mold insert 21 for shaping a lens convex surface and an upper mold insert 20 for shaping a lens concave surface. When the heated injection molding assembly is cooled and a lens is ejected after a molten resin is pressurized by the upper mold insert 20, the temperature of the lower mold insert 21 is lowered below the temperature of the upper mold insert 20, which prevents the molded lens from bending at a central portion and enable high transfer precision of insert shapes.

  • Patent number: 5361588
    Abstract: In a cryogenic refrigerator using a Gifford MacMahon (GM) cycle, a rotary valve device (RV) for controlling the supply and discharge of refrigerant gas with respect to the refrigerator (2) is adapted by a reversible motor (15) to be rotated in normal and reverse directions, and during the rotation in the normal direction, a cooling mode operation for producing cold by an adiabatic expansion is effected, and during the rotation in the reverse direction, a temperature-raising mode operation for producing heat by an adiabatic compression is effected. In order that the optimum efficiency can be obtained in each of the cooling mode operation and the temperature-raising mode operation, the timing of opening and closing of the rotary valve device (RV) with respect to the reciprocal movement of displacers (3a, 3b) during the rotation in the normal direction is made different from said timing during the rotation in the reverse direction.

  • Patent number: 4141001
    Abstract: A data input unit has a monitor display unit with a display screen and a manual input device such as a keyboard. Plural transaction items for at least one transaction type are displayed selectively on one portion of the display screen. A second portion of the screen provides for display of manually entered data corresponding to each item. When data which corresponds to a predetermined item displayed on the screen of the monitor display unit is supplied as an input by said manual input devices, said input data is displayed initially in a prearranged common display area comprising a third portion of the screen of the monitor display unit. After an operator confirms the accuracy of the displayed data, and actuation of an item select key causes the data displayed on the common display area to be transferred and displayed on the second portion of the screen in a position directly relating that data to its corresponding transaction item.

  • Patent number: 4120759
    Abstract: In the present plating method the bath contains an electrolyte solution having a uniform ion concentration. A common electrode, a plating electrode and a standard electrode are arranged in the bath. A direct current source is connected between the common electrode and the plating electrode. A further, constant, direct current source is connected between the common electrode and the standard electrode. A potentiometer device is arranged for detecting resistance changes between these electrodes due to variations in the ion concentration and in the mobility of the electrolyte solution between the electrodes. A control is responsive to the potentiometer device for regulating the plating current supplied by the direct current source as a function of the potential difference detected by the potentiometer device, whereby a constant plating current density is achieved.
