Patent number: 10023235Abstract: An automobile body and a method for manufacturing the same is provided in which a substantially rectangular windshield joining face is formed by a front roof arch, a front portion of roof side rails and a dash panel upper of a lower skeleton. Since the upper skeleton and the lower skeleton can be separated, there is the problem that a gap occurs between lower ends of the roof side rails of the upper skeleton and the vehicle width direction outer ends of the dash panel upper of the lower skeleton, and the windshield joining face is discontinuous. Extension parts are provided inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower ends of the roof side rails, and the vehicle width direction inner ends of the extension parts are connected to the vehicle width direction outer ends of the dash panel upper, thereby eliminating discontinuity of the windshield joining face.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: July 17, 2018Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahira Kawata, Minoru Sakamoto

Patent number: 8293646Abstract: A high quality interface is formed at a low oxygen-carbon density between a substrate and a thin film while preventing heat damage on the substrate and increase of thermal budget. This method includes a step of loading a wafer into a reaction furnace, a step of pretreating the wafer in the reaction furnace, a step of performing a main processing of the pretreated wafer in the reaction furnace, and a step of unloading the wafer from the reaction furnace after the main processing. Hydrogen gas is continuously supplied to the reaction furnace in the period from the end of the pretreating step to the start of the main processing and at least during vacuum-exhausting an interior of the reaction furnace.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc.Inventors: Takashi Ozaki, Osamu Kasahara, Takaaki Noda, Kiyohiko Maeda, Atsushi Moriya, Minoru Sakamoto

Publication number: 20080305406Abstract: By increasing the dry etching rate of a light shielding film, the dry etching time can be shortened so that loss of a resist film is reduced. As a result, a reduction in thickness (to 300 nm or less) of the resist film becomes possible so that pattern resolution and pattern accuracy (CD accuracy) can be improved. Further, by shortening the dry etching time, a photomask blank and a photomask manufacturing method are provided, which can form a pattern of the light shielding film having an excellent sectional shape. In a photomask blank having a light shielding film on an optically transparent substrate, the photomask blank being a mask blank for a dry etching process adapted for a photomask producing method of patterning the light shielding film by the dry etching process using as a mask a pattern of a resist formed on the light shielding film, the light shielding film is made of a material having a selectivity exceeding 1 with respect to the resist in the dry etching process.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2005Publication date: December 11, 2008Applicant: HOYA CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Kominato, Takeyuki Yamada, Minoru Sakamoto, Masahiro Hashimoto
