Patent number: 7740049Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cylinder block using a die apparatus wherein a columnar hole includes a bore in the cylinder block. The method includes the steps of abutting first and second split cores against an upper surface of a distal end core, the upper surface being located opposite the inner core, and introducing a molten metal into a cavity. An inner core is withdrawn to move the first and second split cores toward an axis. The first and second split cores are released from a formed product made of solidified molten metal. The split cores are removed from the formed product to form the bore, and an inner surface of the bore is cut.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sakurai, Hajime Miyasaka, Yoshimichi Asai, Hiroyuki Ohashi, Kazumi Nagao

Patent number: 7527689Abstract: A cement admixture and a cement composition having a carbonation suppressing effect and a heat-of-hydration suppressing effect are provided. A cement admixture containing one or more non-hydraulic compounds selected from the group consisting of ?-2CaO.SiO2, ?-CaO.SiO2 and calcium magnesium silicate, a cement composition containing said admixture, and a carbonation suppressing method by use of said cement admixture or cement composition. According to the present invention, a remarkable carbonation suppressing effect can be obtained particularly when used in portland blast-furnace slag cement. This leads to an effective use of steelmaking slag and the like, and the load of clinker can be reduced, so that a cement composition of a low environmental load type can be attained. Further, this is suitable for cements in conformity with the EN standards, which are used in civil engineering and building industries.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: Denki Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Minoru Morioka, Takayuki Higuchi, Hiroyuki Ohashi, Yasuhiro Nakashima

Patent number: 5922620Abstract: This invention provides a CMP (Chemical-Mechanical Polishing) method for controlling the polishing rate using ionized water and a CMP apparatus which employs the CMP method. A polishing pad is attached to a polishing disc. A semiconductor wafer is held by a wafer carrier placed above the polishing disc, and is pressed by the wafer carrier against the polishing pad which rotates together with the polishing disc. As a result, the semiconductor wafer is polished. The polishing is performed while a polishing slurry containing polishing particles is supplied to the polishing pad from a polishing slurry tank through a polishing-slurry supply pipe, and ionized water is supplied thereto through an ionized-water supply pipe. In the case of using alkaline ionized water as the ionized water, the polishing rate can be increased in a stable manner by increasing the pH value of alkaline ionized water, and can be reduced in a stable manner by reducing the pH value of alkaline ionized water.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1997Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Mariko Shimomura, Naoto Miyashita, Hiroyuki Ohashi
