Patent number: 6599378Abstract: A copper-based alloy includes one base phase selected from the group consisting of &agr; phase, &agr;+&bgr; phase, and &agr;+&bgr;+&ggr; phase, a component having a lower melting point than the base phase, and a component for dispersing the base phase and the low melting component to uniformly disperse the low melting component and improve the copper-based alloy in machinability. A method for producing the copper alloy in the form of a bar or plate includes the steps of compounding raw materials in predetermined ratios thereby obtaining a mixture, fusing the mixture thereby obtaining a melt, continuously casting the melt into a cast billet, or rolling the cast billet thereby obtaining a shaped mass, heat-treating the shaped mass, drawing or rolling the heat-treated shaped mass thereby obtaining a plastic mass, and subjecting the plastic mass to a heat-treatment of air cooling or furnace cooling.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2000Date of Patent: July 29, 2003Assignee: Kitz CorporationInventors: Koichi Hagiwara, Masaru Yamazaki, Yukihiro Hirata, Mitsuhide Hirabayashi, Kozo Ito

Patent number: 6273406Abstract: A first bushing rubber and a first collar are integrally fixed to an outer periphery of a left end of an inner tube which supports a spherical portion of a support shaft for rotation through a bearing. A second bushing rubber and a second collar are integrally fixed to an inner periphery of a right end of an outer tube which is disposed outside the inner tube. A liquid chamber, containing a liquid encapsulated therein, is defined between the first and second bushing rubbers by axially placing the outer tube over the outside of the inner tube, fixing the outer tube to the first collar by caulking, and fixing the second collar to the inner tube by press-fitting. Thus, it is possible to easily determine the spring characteristics of the first and second bushing rubbers and the sectional shape of the liquid chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1998Date of Patent: August 14, 2001Assignees: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Hokushin CorporationInventors: Yasuo Miyamoto, Isamu Doi, Hiroshi Tokimoto, Masaru Yamazaki

Patent number: 6025217Abstract: Method of forming a uniform polycrystalline semiconductor thin film by laser annealing. The method is started with preparing a substrate having an insulating layer which has a relatively low thermal conductivity and a thickness of more than 20 nm. Then, an amorphous silicon thin film having a relatively high thermal conductivity is formed to a thickness of less than 35 nm on the insulating layer. Thereafter, the amorphous silicon thin film is irradiated with laser beam to impart thermal energy to the film. In this way, the amorphous film is converted into a polysilicon thin film. Since the thickness of the amorphous silicon film is less than 35 nm, polysilicons having uniform grain diameters can be grown.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1995Date of Patent: February 15, 2000Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro Kanaya, Masaru Yamazaki, Masahiro Fujino, Nobuaki Suzuki, Midori Kuki

Patent number: 4285582Abstract: A light measuring apparatus comprising a photoelectric element exposed to incident light and coupled to a plurality of parallel-connected capacitors which integrate the photoelectric current output from the element. Control means successively switch each of the capacitors in parallel as the photoelectric current charges a first previously switched capacitors in accordance with the voltage integrated on the capacitors as sensed by a comparator. After a predetermined time, the parallel charged capacitors are discharged through a constant current source, with the discharge time being digitally monitored to produce a digital output proportional to the incident light level.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1979Date of Patent: August 25, 1981Assignee: Copal Company LimitedInventor: Masaru Yamazaki
