  • Patent number: 5766407
    Abstract: An optical disk producing apparatus produces an optical disk by bonding a pair of replica disks together. The replica disks are disposed in a sealed space to oppose to each other with a predetermined gap therebetween. The sealed space is defined by a peripheral wall and opposite ends. The peripheral wall is divided into two portions which are slidingly movable relative to each other. When the sealed space is evacuated, the two portions are moved to apply an atmospheric pressure to the replica disks, so that the replica disks are bonded together into an optical disk.

  • Patent number: 5399758
    Abstract: Disclosed are a novel azide compound represented, for example, by the formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sub.f represents a fluoroalkyl or fluoroalkylpolyether group, ##STR2## wherein R represents a divalent organic group having an ester bond, and R.sub.f ' represents a fluoroalkylpolyether group, and a novel diacylhydrazine compound having a fluoroalkylpolyether group in the side chain and lubricants containing them. When this lubricant is coated onto the carbonaceous protective film of magnetic recording media and reacted by the action of light or heat, it strongly bonds or adheres to the protective film. Thus, the durability of the lubricant improves, as a result of which a high-density magnetic recording medium having a high reliability and long life can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 5084225
    Abstract: A method for making a cathode ray tube involves the step of positioning a non-reflective transparent plate in front of a face plate of a tube body with a given space therebetween; a step of filling the space with a resin composition and a step of heating the resin composition filled in the space to harden the composition to bond the tube body and the non-reflective transparent plate to each other. The resin composition is an unsaturated polyester resin composition which comprises an unsaturated polyester having a molecular weight per one unsaturated group of 1000 to 8000 and (1) a polymerizable monomer, a low-temperature hardener and a high-temperature hardener or (2) styrene and/or a derivative thereof and an unsaturated compound having a refractive index of 1.5 or less. This composition can be molded in a short time and forms no strain on hardening and serves as an adhesive for production of the cathode ray tube.

  • Patent number: 5071236
    Abstract: This invention relates to a replica plate having a transparent plastic substrate and a photo-cured resin, and a projection type television using the replica plate. An adhesive layer comprising an acrylic or methacrylic compound is provided between a transparent plastic plate and a replica-forming photo-curable resin, whereby it is possible to enhance the adhesion between the surface of the transparent plastic plate and the photo-cured resin, and to produce a replica plate having excellent optical characteristics, good replicating properties and high reliability. The adhesive layer can be provided (1) by coating a layer containing the acrylic or methacrylic compound on the plastic plate, the compound infiltrating into the plate, or (2) by incorporating the acrylic or methacrylic compound into the photo-curable resin, the compound infiltrating therefrom into the plate; in this latter technique, the plate coated with the resin should be heated.

  • Patent number: 4897228
    Abstract: A method for producing an optical disk base to store, record, and retrieve sounds, images, and information. An improved method for producing an optical disk base includes the steps of injecting a photo-curable resin into a cavity, curing the photo-curable resin by irradiation with light, and demolding, where the photo-curable resin is injected from an injection nozzle having an outside diameter which is substantially equal to the diameter of the center hole of the optical disk base and also having a horn-shaped opening at the forward end. The injection nozzle is arranged at the center of the optical disk base. The forward end of the nozzle is closed after injection and the photo-curable resin is irradiated with light, with the injection nozzle projected into the cavity. A liquid resin is injected in the form of uniform flow without entrapped bubbles, so that the anamolous molecular orientation is avoided and the contamination with insufficiently cured or uncured resin is also avoided.
