Patent number: 8915403Abstract: A fixed-amount discharge squeeze container (10) which discharges a specific amount of content liquid from a discharge port by squeeze deformation of a container body (11) includes a squeeze-deformable plastic-made container body (11) and a squeeze operating portion (14) to perform squeeze operation is arranged at a barrel portion (13) of the container body (11). The squeeze operating portion (14) has a cross-sectional shape formed with a compression face portion (16) having a mountain-like section including a pair of inclined face portions (15) arranged along two faces intersecting obtusely and a compression support portion (18) having an arc-shaped section which is jointed integrally with foot parts (19b) of the compression face portion (16) respectively via an edge line portion (17). The compression face portion (16) is restricted so as not to be flipped into a valley-like shape after the inclined face portions (15) deforms until force to expand the distance between the bilateral foot parts (19b) vanishes.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Kao CorporationInventors: Shinichi Inaba, Susumu Fujinami, Hiroshi Goto

Patent number: 7938883Abstract: A method of making metallic iron in which a compact, containing iron oxide such as iron ore or the like and a carbonaceous reductant such as coal or the like, is used as material, and the iron oxide is reduced through the application of heat, thereby making metallic iron. In the course of this reduction, a shell composed of metallic iron is generated and grown on the surface of the compact, and slag aggregates inside the shell. This reduction continues until substantially no iron oxide is present within the metallic iron shell. Subsequently, heating is further performed to melt the metallic iron and slag. Molten metallic iron and molten slag are separated one from the other, thereby obtaining metallic iron with a relatively high metallization ratio.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2007Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Takuya Negami, Kazuo Kunii, Shinichi Inaba, Masataka Shimizu, Isao Kobayashi, Yoshimichi Takenaka, Toshihide Matsumura, Akira Uragami, Takashi Kujirai, Osamu Tsuchiya, Kimio Sugiyama, Shuzo Ito, Shoichi Kikuchi

Patent number: 6796795Abstract: A method and apparatus for loading a substrate is applied to a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus in which a substrate is carried in a vacuum-processing chamber, and loaded on a heated processing table, and further is applied with predetermined processing in a cold-wall processing mode. In the method, for example, the substrate is temporarily stopped before being loaded on the processing table. By the temporal stop, the temperature difference between the substrate and the processing table becomes smaller. When the temperature difference becomes smaller, even if the substrate expands due to heat from the processing table, the degree of the change becomes smaller and therefore it is possible to reduce peeling of films deposited on the substrate-loading surface of the processing table.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2001Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Anelva CorporationInventors: Shinichi Inaba, Yosuke Ide
