Patent number: 6908509Abstract: Additional charge of a solid raw material 13 in the shapes of granules/lumps, low in raw material cost, and with no risk of cracking, is performed into a molten raw material 14 in a crucible in a static manner without solidifying a surface of the molten raw material 14 in the crucible 3. A bottom of a cylindrical raw material vessel 10 made of a material non-meltable when being in contact with the molten raw material 14 in the crucible 3 is closed with a bottom cover 11 made of a material meltable and removable when being in contact with the molten raw material 14 in the crucible 3. The raw material vessel 10 in a state of being filled with the solid raw material 13 in the shapes of granules/lumps is hung down above the crucible 3 to immerse the lower portion thereof into the molten raw material 14 in the crucible 3.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2003Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignee: Sumitomo Mitsubishi Silicon CorporationInventors: Katsunori Nakashima, Makoto Ito

Patent number: 6827414Abstract: A method of detecting an obstacle that disturbs a printing operation to be performed on a printing surface of a printing portion of a workpiece by a printing head of an ink-jet printer such that the printing head and a planar platen on which the printing portion of the workpiece is set are moved relative to each other between a first position and a second position, with a predetermined spacing maintained between the printing surface of the workpiece and the printing head in a direction perpendicular to the printing surface, wherein the obstacle existing on a plane of printing by the printing head is detected by a sensing device, by scanning the predetermined spacing in a direction intersecting a direction of a relative movement of the printing head and the platen, while the printing head and the platen are moved relative to each other between the first and second printing positions. Also disclosed are an ink-jet printing method and printer wherein the obstacle is detectable.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2003Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuaki Iwatsuki, Katsunori Nakashima, Takeshi Kimura
