  • Patent number: 7661361
    Abstract: A printing and drying method comprising laying a support sheet 20 elongated in the long direction so as to bridge both a printing zone 42 and a drying zone 44, in the printing zone 42, giving the support sheet 20 a first tension F1, in that state, printing the support sheet 20 with predetermined patterns, then feeding the support sheet 20 toward the drying zone 44, in the drying zone 44, giving the support sheet 20 on which the predetermined patterns were printed a second tension F2, and in that state, drying it in a drying chamber 62. The first tension F1 and the second tension F2 are given by separate tension giving means, and the second tension F2 is tension given along the support sheet 20 in the long direction and able to prevent shrinkage of the support sheet 20 in the long direction while passing through the drying zone 44.

  • Patent number: 7360305
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a multi-layered ceramic electronic component includes positioning a multi-layered unit including a release layer, an electrode layer and a ceramic green sheet formed on a support sheet in such a manner that the surface of the multi-layered unit is located on a base substrate and a step of pressing the multi-layered unit toward the base substrate, thereby laminating the multi-layered unit on the base substrate, and employs as the base substrate a base substrate having such surface roughness as to include per 0.01 mm2 thereof not more than one protrusion that can penetrate the ceramic green sheet of the multi-layered unit laminated on the base substrate to half or more the thickness of the ceramic green sheet and include per 100 mm2 thereof not more than one protrusion that can completely penetrate the ceramic green sheet.

  • Patent number: 5800636
    Abstract: A dust core is prepared from an iron powder with a particle size of 75-200 .mu.m having added thereto 0.015-0.15 wt % of silica sol, 0.05-0.5 wt % of a silicone resin, and 10-50 wt % based on the silicone resin of an organic titanium compound. By subjecting the iron powder to a curing treatment at 50.degree.-250.degree. C., compacting the powder, and annealing in an inert atmosphere at 550.degree.-650.degree. C., there is obtained a dust core consisting essentially of iron powder particles with a particle size of 75-200 .mu.m, 0.03-0.1% by weight of Si, 15-210 ppm of Ti, and 300-2,500 ppm of oxygen.
