Patent number: 7456400Abstract: A scanning probe microscope has a probe needle and a control section that controls relative scanning movement between the probe needle and a surface of a sample in at least one direction parallel to the sample surface and controls relative movement between the probe needle and the sample surface in a direction perpendicular to the sample surface. A vibration source vibrates the probe needle at a vibrating frequency relative to the sample surface. An approach/separation drive section causes the probe needle to relatively approach to and separate from the sample surface at a predetermined distance while the probe needle is vibrated at the vibrating frequency relative to the sample surface by the vibration source. A detection section detects a rate of change in a vibration state of the probe needle in accordance with a distance between the probe needle and the sample surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2005Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Seiko Instruments Inc.Inventors: Masatsugu Shigeno, Yoshiharu Shirakawabe, Amiko Nihei, Osamu Matsuzawa, Naoya Watanabe, Akira Inoue

Method for preparing Ag-ZnO electric contact material and electric contact material produced thereby
Patent number: 6432157Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing an Ag—ZnO electric contact material which can uniformly disperse ZnO micrograms in Ag; which maintains low contact resistance; which exhibits enhanced welding resistance and wear resistance; and which is suitable in view of production costs. The method of producing an Ag—ZnO electrical contact material comprises casting Ag and Zn at predetermined proportions and subjecting the resultant Ag—ZnO alloy to internal oxidation so as to disperse ZnO in Ag, the method being characterized in that an Ag—Zn alloy comprising 5-10 wt. % (as reduced to weight of metal) Zn, the balance being Ag, is formed into chips; the chips are subjected to internal oxidation; the internally oxidized chips are compacted to thereby form billets; the billets are pressed and sintered; and subsequently, the sintered billets are extruded, to thereby yield uniform dispersion, in Ag, of ZnO micrograms.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2000Date of Patent: August 13, 2002Assignee: Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K.Inventors: Tetsuya Nakamura, Osamu Sakaguchi, Hiroyuki Kusamori, Osamu Matsuzawa, Masahiro Takahashi, Toshiya Yamamoto -

Patent number: 5531371Abstract: A process of preparing clad contact material comprises forming a contact belt-like member by bonding an Au or Au alloy tape to the surface of an Ag or Ag alloy tape, thermally treating that contact member for forming an Au diffusion layer, and cladding that contact member having the Au diffusion layer to a base belt-like member made of Cu or a Cu alloy. Since, according to the process, the thermal diffusion treatment is carried out before the contact belt-like member is set in the base belt-like member, the thermal diffusion treatment of the contact belt-like member can be performed in the most suitable conditions for obtaining an Au diffusion layer with excellent characteristics, and no dissolution may occur at the interface between the two belt-like members.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1994Date of Patent: July 2, 1996Assignee: Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo, K.K.Inventor: Osamu Matsuzawa
