Publication number: 20090143490Abstract: (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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2007Publication date: June 4, 2009Applicant: FUSO CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Norio Masuda, Shinsuke Ota

Patent number: 6396264Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2000Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Naoya Tamaki, Norio Masuda
