Abstract: A method for producing a multilayered ceramic substrate including the steps of:forming at least two green sheets each including a low-temperature firing glass-ceramic substrate material,forming an electrode pattern and a via hole electrode on and through each green sheet with a conductor paste,laminating said green sheets to obtain a laminate,forming a pair of green sheets which include an inorganic material which is not sintered at a firing temperature of the green sheet of the low-temperature firing glass-ceramic substrate material or lower, and then forming a hole through the inorganic material green sheet,laminating the inorganic material green sheet on the outermost green sheet of the laminate to obtain a resultant laminate in which the hole is positioned over a portion of the electrode pattern of an outermost low-temperature firing glass-ceramic green sheets of the laminate,firing said resultant laminate at the firing temperature, andremoving the unsintered inorganic material.

Abstract: A process for the high speed production of fiber reinforced plastic moldings forms several preforms which are solidified with chopped fibers, resin powders and a binder and are held between two preheating plates. Each plate is formed of a thin metal plate and will preheat the preforms to a temperature higher than the melting point of the resin. While the preforms are held between the preheating plates, the preforms are cold-pressed in a mold maintained at a temperature lower than the melting point of the resin for simultaneous impregnation and cooling of the resin. In addition, a preforming mold is placed in a vacuum chamber and precut chopped fibers are positioned in a tank. The preforming mold is placed into the tank and an exhauster is actuated to vacuumize both the vacuum chamber and the preforming mold, thereby adsorbing the chopped fibers in the tank onto the preforming mold and forming on the surface of the preforming mold an unsolidified preform comprising the chopped fibers.
