  • Publication number: 20240140672
    Abstract: A tennis ball container 4 includes a bottle 8, a paper label 10, an inner lid 12, and a paper cap 14. The bottle 8 includes a bottom 18 and a neck 20. The paper label 10 is accommodated in the bottle 8, and is positioned along an inner peripheral surface of the bottle 8. The paper label 10 can be obtained by printing paper. The paper is obtained by agglutinating biodegradable fibers together. In an axial direction of the bottle 8, a position of an upper edge 26 of the paper label 10 is the same as a position of the neck 20, or the position of the upper edge 26 of the paper label 10 is shifted from the position of the neck 20 toward the bottom 18.

  • Patent number: 8912487
    Abstract: Observation using an FIB image is enabled without causing any damage to a designated region. To this end, an ion beam scanning-prohibited region is set in a sample by using an image acquired by a charged particle beam other than an ion beam, or an image prepared as external data as a peripheral image including the designated region of a sample. Thereafter, the image used to set the ion beam scanning-prohibited region is exactly superimposed on an FIB image acquired for regions except the ion beam scanning-prohibited region, thereby forming an image including the ion beam scanning-prohibited region on which ion beam scanning has not been performed.

  • Patent number: 6965162
    Abstract: A semiconductor device designed to reduce the warp of a substrate due to curing contraction, etc. of an insulation pattern while forming the insulation pattern on the surface of a substrate so that it may be interposed between a semiconductor chip and a conductor pattern by offering a semiconductor chip mounting substrate equipped with a flexible substrate 11 (insulating film 16) having a chip mounting region 19 for mounting a semiconductor chip 13 via an adhesive 12, conductor patterns 20 that are formed on the surface of the above-mentioned substrate 11 and electrically connected to the semiconductor chip 13 in an external region of the above-mentioned chip mounting region 19, and an insulation pattern 21 formed on the surface of the substrate 11 and partially in the chip mounting region 19 so that it may be interposed between the semiconductor chip 13 and the conductor patterns 20.

  • Patent number: 5207316
    Abstract: A limit switch is disclosed which comprises an operating lever, a rotary shaft which is driven by the operating lever, a first cam and a second cam as mounted on the rotary shaft for transformation of rotary motion into linear motion, a return spring for applying a returning force to the operating lever through the rotary shaft, a plunger operatively associated with the cams for turning a basic switch ON or OFF and a plunger holder for holding the plunger axially movable but not rotatable. The plunger having a plurality of integral projections corresponding to cam projections of the respective cams and disposed between the cams. The plunger is rotatable about its axis through the plunger holder to switch the ON-OFF mode of the basic switch.
