  • Patent number: 8546927
    Abstract: An RFIC module includes an RFIC chip that is mounted on a mounting substrate and that is encapsulated with an encapsulation resin layer. The mounting substrate includes a flexible base and electrodes provided on the flexible base. External terminals are disposed near four corners of a mounting surface of the RFIC chip. One of a plurality of mounting lands located on the surface of the flexible base is a shared mounting land and defines an integrated mounting land that is shared by an RF terminal and an NC terminal of the RFIC chip. The shared mounting land is arranged to cover one side of the RFIC chip when viewed from above.

  • Patent number: 8299968
    Abstract: A packaging material includes an electromagnetic coupling module for an RFID system, in which a radio IC chip is protected from external shock and environmental change without affecting the planarity of the packaging material, the assembly including an electromagnetic coupling module is facilitated, and the radiation characteristics are satisfactory. A packaging material includes a liner and a wave-shaped core material, wherein an electromagnetic coupling module is arranged inside of the packaging material. The electromagnetic coupling module includes a radio IC chip and a feeder circuit board, on which the radio IC chip is mounted, the feeder circuit board including a resonant circuit that includes an inductance element. The packaging material is made of a dielectric, wherein the dielectric and the electromagnetic coupling module are electromagnetically coupled to transmit/receive high frequency signals.

  • Publication number: 20080115383
    Abstract: A method of drying a honeycomb formed body comprising an outer wall, partition walls disposed inside the outer wall, and cells surrounded by the partition walls and extending in an axial direction of the honeycomb formed body. The method of drying a honeycomb formed body comprises a drying step of starting to dry in a state of covering at least a part of the outer wall with a guide covering the outer wall so as not to come into contact with the outer wall. Alternatively, the method of drying a honeycomb formed body comprises a drying step of drying in a state of covering at least a part of the outer wall with a guide that covers the outer wall so as to come into contact with the outer wall, wherein in the drying step the pressure applied to the outer wall by the guide at the contact portion is less than 0.2 MPa.
