Patent number: 11773512Abstract: A fiber collection tool for collecting a fiber spun by electrospinning is described. The fiber collection tool has a size holdable by the hand of a user, and includes, in its interior, an electroconductive section. Preferably, the fiber collection tool further includes a surface section outside the electroconductive section. In a fiber deposit production method, a user collects, with the fiber collection tool, a fiber spun by the user by performing electrospinning using an electrospinning device having a size holdable by the hand of the user, and thereby produces a film including a deposit of the fiber on a surface of the fiber collection tool. The fiber collection tool, having the deposit formed thereon, is pressed against a surface of an object, and the deposit is transferred onto the surface of the object, to form a film including the fiber deposit on the surface of the object.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Tomonari Okada, Masayuki Uchiyama, Naomi Amari, Yuko Wakahara, Takehiko Tojo, Hideo Kobayashi

Patent number: 8665520Abstract: A spectral reflectance in the entire visible wavelength range may be decreased to decrease inconveniences in an image such as flare or ghost. A non-reflective periodic layer including a large number of fine uneven periodic structure bodies is formed on a substrate, and a neutral density (“ND”) film is formed on the other surface of the substrate by vacuum deposition, to improve an anti-reflection function. Regarding a beam entering the ND filter, the MgF2 film of the formed ND film suppresses the spectral reflectance at the boundary of the atmosphere and the ND film and at the boundary of the ND film and the substrate. The non-reflective periodic layer decreases the reflectance at the boundary of the substrate and the atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Canon Denshi Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masayuki Uchiyama, Munetoshi Yoshikawa, Kazuo Suzuki, Takayuki Wakabayashi
