Patents by Inventor Mitsuru Otsuki

Mitsuru Otsuki 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: 6841738
    Abstract: A flexible rigid printed wiring board includes a plurality of rigid wiring boards having wiring patterns. The rigid wiring boards are spatially separate from each other. The flexible rigid printed wiring board also includes a flexible portion. The flexible portion connects the rigid wiring boards, and includes an insulating and flexible resin sheet. The insulating and flexible resin sheet includes first portions of first and second sub resin sheets. The first portions of the first and second sub resin sheets are bonded together. The first and second sub resin sheets have second portions covering and adhering to surfaces of the rigid wiring boards.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2003
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2005
    Assignee: Victor Company of Japan, Ltd.

  • Patent number: 6411194
    Abstract: The invention provides a production method capable of forming a thin film resistance element having a thickness and a shape controlled in a high accuracy in a printed circuit board. The production method of a thin film resistance element formed on a printed circuit board, has the steps of forming a thin film resistance layer having a predetermined thickness on the printed circuit board through an insulation layer by a dry process used in producing a semiconductor, forming an electrically conductive layer on the thin resistance layer, and etching the electrically conductive layer selectively so as to make, at least, a pair of electrically conductive pads, resulting in the thin film resistance element having a predetermined value of resistivity between the pair of electrically conductive pads. Thereby, it is possible to form the thin film resistance element having a thickness and a shape controlled in a high accuracy on the printed circuit board.
