Publication number: 20240141533Abstract: The masking material includes a penetrating portion according to a predetermined pattern. The masking material includes a mask portion and at least the mask portion contacting the substrate is made of an elastic material. The penetrating portion includes an expanded portion that is expanded outwardly from a portion contacting the substrate toward the electrolyte membrane in a thickness direction of the mask portion such that in a state where the mask portion is elastically deformed by a pressing force of the electrolyte membrane, a shape of a cross section of a formation space of the penetrating portion in which the metal film is to be formed becomes rectangular.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Haruki KONDOH, Koji INAGAKI, Keiji KURODA, Soma HIGASHIKOZONO

Publication number: 20240133069Abstract: The film forming apparatus includes a pressing mechanism that presses the mask structure by the electrolyte membrane with a fluid pressure of a plating solution. The mask structure includes a screen mask in which a penetrating portion corresponding to a predetermined pattern is formed, and a frame that supports a peripheral edge of the screen mask on a side adjacent to the substrate. In the frame, an inner covering portion made of an elastic material softer than a material of the frame is formed along an opening edge contacting the electrolyte membrane.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Haruki KONDOH, Keiji KURODA, Koji INAGAKI

Publication number: 20240133068Abstract: The method includes: placing a substrate on a mount base; covering the substrate with the screen mask including a penetrating portion of a predetermined pattern; pressing the substrate by the electrolyte membrane with a fluid pressure of a plating solution contacting the electrolyte membrane via the screen mask; and applying a voltage between an anode contacting the plating solution and the substrate so as to allow metal ions contained in the plating solution to pass through the electrolyte membrane and form a metal film derived from the metal ions in the predetermined pattern on the substrate. The substrate includes an outer edge portion formed by an opposite surface facing the screen mask and a side surface. A cushion member is disposed along the outer edge portion before pressing the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Haruki KONDOH, Keiji KURODA, Koji INAGAKI

Publication number: 20240133070Abstract: A mask structure includes a screen mask having a penetrating portion with a predetermined pattern. The screen mask includes a mesh portion having an opening formed in a grid pattern, and a mask portion having the penetrating portion and being fixed to the mesh portion so as to face the substrate. The mask portion includes a core portion that retains the shape of the mask portion, and a seal portion made of an elastic material softer than the material of the core portion and contacting the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 3, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Haruki KONDOH, Keiji KURODA, Koji INAGAKI, Kazuaki OKAMOTO, Hiroshi YANAGIMOTO

Patent number: 6890211Abstract: A connector holding structure which facilitate an operation of inserting a connector from the bottom surface of a headlining to the top surface thereof and prevents an occurrence of damage of the connector and abnormal noises due to vibrations of the connector. The connector holding structure has an accommodating mechanism fixed onto the top surface of the headlining. The accommodating mechanism comprises an accommodating body extending in a direction departing away from an interior part attaching hole formed in the headlining, and also comprises a guide portion for guiding the connector to a predetermined position in the accommodating body, and a holding member for holding the connector at the predetermined position.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2002Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Yazaki CorporationInventors: Keiji Inagaki, Tsutomu Santanda

Patent number: 5129475Abstract: A cruise control device is provided with a vehicle speed sensor for detecting the actual vehicle speed, and an electronic controller for controlling the opening of the throttle valve based on the detected vehicle speed, to bring the vehicle speed close to a target vehicle speed. The electronic controller serves to obtain a vehicle speed deviation between the target vehicle speed set by a set switch and the actual vehicle speed, select one of a P control mode, a P/D control mode and a fuzzy control mode corresponding to the magnitude of the vehicle speed deviation, and control the opening of the throttle valve. In addition to these functions, the electronic controller may additionally have the function of estimating a change in the vehicle speed provided that the current opening of the throttle valve is maintained, to obtain a correction value for the vehicle speed so that a corrected vehicle speed corrected by the correction value is used to control the opening of the throttle valve.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1991Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Atsuhiro Kawano, Yoshiaki Sano, Hiroshi Umeda, Takeshi Nishimura, Yasunobu Miyata, Keiji Inagaki
