  • Patent number: 5698927
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device including a substrate made of a lithium tetraborate single crystal (Li.sub.2 B.sub.4 O.sub.7) whose cut and propagating direction are determined such that Euler cut angles (.psi., .theta., .phi.) are .psi.=+5.degree..about.-5.degree., .theta.=9.degree..about.29.degree. and 32.degree..about.86.degree. and .phi.=85.degree..about.95.degree., and an electrode structure formed on a surface of the substrate to realize a natural single-phase unidirectional transducer property together with an anisotropy of said substrate. A lithium tetraborate substrate having cut angles of (0.degree., 51.degree., 90.degree.) shows an ideal NSPUDT and a lithium tetraborate substrate having cut angles of (0.degree., 78.degree., 90.degree.) reveals a zero temperature coefficient of delay. A directionality reversed electrode structure or a directionality corrected electrode structure may be advantageously used.

  • Patent number: 5438306
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave filter device includes a substrate which includes quartz or the like piezoelectric material having a small temperature coefficient. The substrate has a surface which is formed with interdigital-type unidirectional transducers on input and output sides, each having a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrodes and the negative electrodes of each of the input side and output side transducers have electrode fingers which are arranged so as to transduce a harmonic wave of a selected order which is higher relative to a fundamental surface acoustic wave.

  • Patent number: 5294859
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave filter device includes a substrate which comprises quartz or the like piezoelectric having a small temperature coefficient and which is formed with unidirectional transducers of asymmetrical construction. A floating electrode is spaced from intermediate position between adjacent positive and negative electrodes which are arranged in interdigital manner, to effectively utilize a mechanical reflection caused by the floating electrode. In consideration of the sign and magnitude of the reflection factor of the floating electrodes, short-circuited electrodes only are used for the floating electrodes. The surface acoustic wave filter device has improved temperature characteristic, insertion loss characteristic and phase characteristic.

  • Patent number: 4970258
    Abstract: When a hydrophobic thermoplastic resin such as an olefin resin and a water-insoluble or non-water-swelling polymer containing a carboxylic acid salt group are melt-kneaded in the presence of water, phase inversion of forming a dispersion comprising water as the dispersion medium phase and resin particles as the dispersed phase is caused even if the amount of water is very small. If an anionic surfactant, optionally together with a solvent or oil, is made present in the composition to be melt-kneaded, the size of dispersed particles can be greatly reduced in the formed aqueous dispersion even if a resin having a very high molecular weight or a high melt viscosity is used.

  • Patent number: 4504215
    Abstract: In the construction of a liquid fuel burner in which liquid fuel is subjected to two-staged combustion, active and passive expedients are preferably combined for complete burning of the liquid fuel. The active expedient employs specified edge construction of a fuel scatter ring for production of ideally atomized fuel whereas the passive expedient employs a barrier construction arranged at the open front end of a combination cylinder for effective prevention of fuel drop causable of incomplete fuel burning.
