  • Patent number: 11940347
    Abstract: A pressure sensor has a stem in which a pressure introduction hole into which a pressure medium is introduced and a diaphragm deformable according to the pressure of the pressure medium are formed, and a strain detecting element which is arranged on the diaphragm via an insulating film and being configured to output a detection signal according to the deformation of the diaphragm. The strain detecting element is configured to have a portion made of polysilicon. A low doping layer having a higher electrical resistivity than polysilicon and a higher crystallinity than the insulating film is arranged between the insulating film and the strain detecting element.

  • Publication number: 20230347676
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of printing a high-resolution inkjet image on an article to be printed made of a metal or a resin by adjusting wet-spreading of an ink. The problem is solved by a method for producing a printed article which is an inkjet-printed product of an article to be printed made of a metal or a resin, the method including: an underlying layer forming step of forming an underlying layer containing a crosslinkable resin on at least a part of a surface of the article to be printed; a semi-crosslinking step of semi-crosslinking the crosslinkable resin contained in the underlying layer; and a printing step of performing inkjet printing on at least a part of a surface of the underlying layer after the semi-crosslinking step to form an inkjet-printed layer.

  • Patent number: 11718116
    Abstract: Easy reading of a read code is enabled without matching a read range with a specific print section, and without impairing designability of a cylindrical container and clarity of a display print. A cylindrical container has, on the outer surface thereof, a print layer. The print layer has an electronic watermark layer including an electronic watermark image printed thereon, and a blindfold layer that renders the electronic watermark image difficult to be visually recognized. The print area of the blindfold layer matches a part or entirety of the print area of the electronic watermark layer.
