  • Publication number: 20090143490
    Abstract: (Problem) This invention provides a high-purity, high-concentrated silica sol with long-term stability and low viscosity by preventing viscosity-increase after production, and method for producing the same. This invention provides the high-purity and high-concentrated silica sol that does not undergo a viscosity-increase or gelation in spite of any particle size differences of silica. This is obtained by adding a dispersing agent at a specific concentration to the reaction solution or solvent substitution-concentrated solution in the production process. (Means to Solve Problems) A silica sol produced by an alkoxide method, wherein said silica sol comprises at least a dispersing agent and silica, wherein said dispersing agent concentration is 10-3000 ppm with respect to the silica, wherein said dispersing agent consists of one or more compounds selected from inorganic acid, inorganic acid salt, organic acid and organic acid salt whose degradation temperature and boiling point are both 60° C.

  • Patent number: 7362098
    Abstract: Two coil forming elements (12, 14) formed of conductor layers and a contact means (19), which is formed in an interlayer dielectric film (13) interposed between the conductor layers and brings the upper and lower coil forming elements into contact with each other through a via hole form a stacked coil (10). One end of the stacked coil is connected to an upper grounding layer (27) of a strip line (20), and the other end of the stacked coil is connected to a strip conductor (23) of the strip line. The number of turns of the stacked coil is larger than 1. A magnetic flux penetrating through the stacked coil increases to be able to induce a relatively large electromotive force. Thus, a high spatial resolution can be obtained easily.

  • Patent number: 6750648
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device for detecting a magnetic field comprising: a dielectric body; an electrically conductive pattern; and an electrically conductive ground region. The electrically conductive pattern so extends in the dielectric body as to form a dielectric looped face at least partially surrounded by the electrically conductive pattern, and the electrically conductive pattern having a first end electrically connected to an external electrically conductive line and a second end. The electrically conductive ground region is formed in the dielectric body. The electrically conductive ground region is electrically connected to the second end of the electrically conductive pattern and is electrically isolated from other parts of the electrically conductive pattern than the second end, so that the electrically conductive ground region serves as a ground to the electrically conductive pattern.

  • Patent number: 6396264
    Abstract: A triplate stripline on a multilayer circuit board includes an inner conductor sandwiched between two ground patterns having a finite pattern width that is 10 times the pattern width of said inner conductor or less. The two ground patterns are short-circuited on opposite transverse ends thereof by a plurality of vias disposed in a longitudinal direction which is a signal transmitting direction of the stripline. An adjacent stripline is of the same structure as the triplate stripline. Each of the striplines has a cross-sectional shape in which one inner conductor is surrounded by the two ground patterns and the vias on the opposite sides. The inner conductor is thus prevented from suffering ambient electromagnetic noise and electromagnetic interference such as crosstalk or the like.
