Mitsunori Inoue has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9997293
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic component that includes a ceramic main body, a coating film and external electrodes on the surface of the ceramic main body. The coating film is selectively formed on the surface of the ceramic main body by applying, to the surface of the ceramic main body, a resin-containing solution that etches the surface of the ceramic main body so as to ionize constituent elements of the ceramic main body. The coating film includes a resin and the constituent elements of the ceramic main body, which were ionized and deposited from the ceramic main body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9959975
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic component that includes a ceramic element, and a coating film and external electrodes on a surface of the ceramic element. The coating film includes cationic elements from a constituent element of the ceramic element, which are ionized and deposited from the ceramic element, and a resin. The surface of the coating film is recessed relative to a surface of wrapping parts of the external electrodes on the surface of the ceramic element.

  • Publication number: 20160027569
    Abstract: A ceramic electronic component that includes a ceramic element, and external electrodes on the surface of the ceramic element. Voids of the ceramic element and voids at the interfaces between the ceramic element and the external electrodes are filled with a resin composition. The resin composition is formed by applying, to the ceramic electronic component, a resin-containing solution that has the function of etching the surface of the ceramic element to ionize constituent elements of the ceramic element. The resin composition includes a resin, and cationic elements among the constituent elements of the ceramic elements, which are ionized and deposited from the ceramic element.
