  • Publication number: 20170368826
    Abstract: A MEMS device includes a wire that is formed of a conductive portion embedded into a recess opened in a first face of a substrate and a bump electrode that is electrically connected to the wire. A total width, in a second direction intersecting a first direction along which the wire extends on the first face, of an opening of the recess in a connection region where the wire and the bump electrode are electrically connected to each other is narrower than a width, in the second direction, of an opening of the recess in a region outside the connection region.

  • Patent number: 9810550
    Abstract: In a position detection device of a type that omits a secondary coil, various inconveniences arising from the use of a voltage-dividing resistance (fixed resistor) are eliminated. At least two pairs of coils are provided. A magnetism-responsive member are placed so as to effect relative displacement in relation to the coils, the relative position of the member in relation to the coils varies with a position of a detection object, and impedance of each coil is varied with the relative position. The impedance changes of two coils constituting each one of coil pairs present characteristics of mutually opposite phase characteristics. For each coil pair, the two coils constituting the pair are connected in series with each other, and from a connection point thereof, a voltage-divided output voltage according to the impedance of the two coils is taken out as a detection output signal for the pair.

  • Patent number: 9642399
    Abstract: A suit of the present invention is a two-piece suit (1) including a coat (2) and trousers (3) and/or a skirt that are made from a woven fabric containing animal hair fibers and/or synthetic fibers. The coat (2) stretches more in the weft direction than in the warp direction, and the trousers (3) and/or skirt stretch more in the warp direction than in the weft direction. A method for producing the suit includes: for upper and lower parts of the suit, dyeing yarns of the same quality by the same method and producing woven fabrics that are woven in the same structure; differentiating stretchability of the woven fabrics in warp and weft directions in tentering processing by a heat set in a final finish step, thereby producing a cloth for coat and a cloth for trousers and/or skirt; and cutting and sewing the cloths. Thus, it is possible to provide a suit imparted with a function of high mobility even though it is a two-piece suit, and a method for producing the same.

  • Publication number: 20160076250
    Abstract: A pregrouted PC steel material (10) includes a 19-wire-twisted PC strand (1), a pregrouted layer (2) disposed on an outer periphery of the PC strand (1), and a sheath (3) configured to cover an outer periphery of the pregrouted layer (2). A filling resin (4) is filled between steel wires (side wires) (1b, 1c, 1d). Since the filling resin (4) does not exude to the pregrouted layer (2) before tensioning of the PC strand (10), an operation of tensioning the PC strand (1) is not hindered by curing of the pregrouted layer (2). In contrast, since the gap between the steel wires is reduced when the PC strand (1) is tensioned, the filling resin (4) flows out (exudes) from between the steel wires to the pregrouted layer (2) to cure the pregrouted layer (2) only after the reduction.
