Patent number: 11940214Abstract: A freeze-dried product continuously manufactured by being dried while smoothly moving in a state of receiving a mechanical force in a freeze-drying apparatus 1. The freeze-drying apparatus 1 includes a freezing unit 2 for producing a frozen substance by spraying a raw material solution; and a drying unit 3 for drying the frozen substance. The drying unit 3 has a tubular shape and includes a tubular member 31 kept in a vacuum state, and a spiral wall or groove portion is formed on an inner wall of the tubular member 31 continuously in a longitudinal direction of the tubular member 31. A heat is transferred to the inner wall of the tubular member 31 and the spiral wall or groove portion. The tubular member 31 is configured to be rotated to transfer the freeze-dried product in the longitudinal direction of the tubular member 31 and sublimate or dry the freeze-dried product.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: MII, LTD.Inventors: Shuji Morimoto, Makoto Takehara, Masato Kobayashi

Publication number: 20140329125Abstract: An undercover is provided which can have an electromagnetic shield effect in a vehicle. A battery unit is provided at a lower portion of a car body. The undercover is provided under the battery unit. The undercover functions to prevent an obstruction or a stone leaping during driving from directly hitting on a battery case. The undercover includes an undercover body and a cloth electromagnetic shield member formed of a conductive fabric. The conductive fabric is soft and flexible, and is molded along with the undercover body, with resin of the undercover body heated, so that they unite with each other. The resin is melted and stuck to the conductive fabric to obtain an anchor effect, as a result of which the conductive fabric is fixed to the resin of the undercover body.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2014Publication date: November 6, 2014Inventors: Satoshi MIYANAGA, Makoto TAKEHARA, Masaki OCHI, Ko ASAI, Takanori YAMAMOTO

Patent number: 6953220Abstract: A hood apparatus for a vehicle has a hood member which closes an opening of an engine room, a lifting mechanism, and a driving portion. The lifting mechanism has a link mechanism and a gas spring. The link mechanism is structured so as to be able to raise up and bring down the hood member by including a first link member and a second link member shorter than the first link member which bridge the hood member and a top end portion of a strut house panel of the engine room. The gas spring urges the hood member upward. The driving portion uncouples the second link member from the hood member when an impact force greater than or equal to a predetermined value is inputted from an front end portion of a automobile.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2004Date of Patent: October 11, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Makoto Takehara
