  • Patent number: 7884534
    Abstract: In a PDP, an end of a first partition (124) is provided with a partition end 126 whose height dimension and width dimension are smaller than those of the first partition (124). With this arrangement, when a nozzle is moved from a portion between the partition ends (126) on a first side to a portion between the partition ends (126) on a second side in a phosphor layer forming step for forming a phosphor layer, a phosphor paste can be uniformly applied to recessed portions (123A), thereby easily providing the PDP that includes the phosphor layer with which good images can be realized.

  • Patent number: 7741777
    Abstract: A PDP includes a guide partition (127) that extends substantially along a center line F between a pair of first partitions (125) at a position spaced apart from an end of the nearest first partition (125) by a distance H. In a phosphor forming step, a phosphor paste is initially applied on the guide partition (127) by a nozzle (200), which has been located above the guide partition (127). Then, the nozzle (200) is moved to provide a phosphor layer whose end is formed on the guide partition (127).

  • Patent number: 7722420
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a PDP includes: a partition forming step to form a first partition (124) and a second partition (125) substantially perpendicular to the first partition (124) on an address-electrode dielectric layer (122) of a rear substrate (120); a base layer forming step to form a base layer after the partition forming step by moving a base-forming-agent applying nozzle (200) along a second groove formed between the second partitions (125) and applying a base forming agent (201) thereto; and a phosphor layer forming step to form a phosphor layer after the base layer forming step by moving a phosphor applying nozzle along a first groove formed between the first partitions (124) and applying a phosphor paste thereto.

  • Patent number: 5590455
    Abstract: A work table is provided for mounting a PCB substrate. A cutting tool for cutting the PCB substrates a pin dispenser for inserting a pin into a hole formed in the PCB substrate, and a solder applicator for applying solder on the PCB substrate are attached on a work head. X, Y and Z axes driving means are provided for moving the work head in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction. A control unit responds to data signals for operating the cutting tool, pin dispenser and solder applicator for controlling operations of the X, Y and Z axes driving means, cutting tool, pin dispenser, and solder applicator. Thus, the PCB substrate is made into a printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 4770046
    Abstract: A method system for assessing the safety of a rotor of a shrinkage fitted type wherein an opening displacement of a crack is determined an elastic-plastic fracture method and a reduction in shrinkage fitting force is calculated based on the crack opening displacement. The safety of the rotor is assessed based on the reduction in shrinkage fitting force caused to occur by the opening of the crack.

  • Patent number: 4688385
    Abstract: A method of starting a turbine having a shrinkage-fitted rotor provided by shrinkage-fitting discs onto a shaft comprises the steps of raising the temperature of the rotor above a predetermined temperature determined from a physical value of the material constituting the rotor and, thereafter, raising the rotational speed of the turbine from the turning speed to the rated speed, whereby the centrifugal stress on raising the speed acts on the discs in a state wherein the value of fracture toughness of the discs fitted on to the shaft has increased.
