  • Patent number: 11948753
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a multilayer ceramic electronic device includes: forming each of stack units by forming each of internal electrode patterns on each of dielectric green sheets, the each of internal electrode patterns including Ni, Sn and Au; forming a multilayer structure by stacking the each of stack units; and firing the multilayer structure, whereby each internal electrode layer is formed from the each of internal electrode patterns and each dielectric layer is formed from the each of the dielectric green sheets wherein, in the each internal electrode layer, an Au concentration near each interface between the each internal electrode layer and the each dielectric layer is larger than an Au concentration in each center portion in a thickness direction.

  • Patent number: 11915882
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic device includes a multilayer chip in which a dielectric layer and an internal electrode layer are alternately stacked. Concentration peaks of two or more types of metals different from a main component metal of the internal electrode layer exist at different positions in a stacking direction of the dielectric layer and the internal electrode layer, between the dielectric layer and the internal electrode layer.

  • Patent number: 6752873
    Abstract: In order to reliably form a coating layer on the interior surface of a primary lining such as an underground pipe, etc., in a short time and form a coating layer having a uniform thickness, a spray gun 62 is attached to a revolving ring 30 attached to a running truck 2, right and left drive wheels of the running truck 2 are respectively independently driven and controlled to moving the running truck 2 in a primary lining 90 while the revolving ring 30 is rotated at a steady peripheral velocity to blow out a coating material from the spray gun 62, whereby a homogenous coating layer is formed with a fixed thickness on the interior surface of the primary lining 90.
