Susumu Kiyohara has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9153761
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermally-conductive sheet excellent in heat dissipation properties. The thermally-conductive sheet includes a polymer matrix and a thermally-conductive filler dispersed in the polymer matrix. The present invention is a thermally-conductive sheet including a polymer matrix and non-spherical particles of a thermally-conductive filler that are dispersed in the polymer matrix. At least a part of the thermally-conductive filler particles are oriented in a thickness direction of the sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 6, 2015
    Assignee: Nitto Denko Corporation
    Inventors: Yoshinari Takayama, Takafumi Hida, Daisuke Kitagawa, Kenichi Tagawa, Kunio Nagasaki, Ryoichi Matsushima, Susumu Kiyohara, Toshio Uota

  • Publication number: 20140113058
    Abstract: A flavor deterioration inhibitor which comprises an extract obtained by extracting Angelica keiskei, avocado, Cassia tora, Plantago asiatica L, hawthorn, fermented tea leaves or semi-fermented tea leaves with water, an organic polar solvent or a mixture thereof; and a deterioration smell inhibitor for citral or a citral-containing product. By adding the above flavor deterioration inhibitor to foods, drinks or oral care products, it is possible to inhibit the deterioration of a flavor which is easily affected by light, heat, oxygen and so on. In particular, a remarkable inhibitory effect can be achieved on deterioration due to light. By blending the above deterioration smell inhibitor with citral or a citral-containing product, the generation of the deterioration smell (caused by p-cresol and p-methylacetophenone) due to the passage of time or heating can be effectively inhibited.

  • Publication number: 20080102266
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composite material sheet wherein a filler is oriented in a given direction in an organic resin matrix by an electric field. The composite material sheet of the present invention 10 contains filler 1 and organic resin 3, and is characterized in that the filler 1 is dendritically aggregated in the organic resin matrix and oriented in the thickness direction. As a result, properties such as dielectric property, conductivity, thermal conductivity and the like can be strikingly improved as compared to conventional composite materials obtained by simply dispersing a filler.

  • Publication number: 20080103216
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for uniformly dispersing dispersoids in a dispersion medium. The method of the present invention for dispersing dispersoids includes applying an electric field to a mixture of a dispersion medium and dispersoids. In this dispersion method, a dispersion apparatus containing a container 3 for placing a mixture 2 of a dispersion medium and dispersoids, and an electric field application means 4 for applying an electric field to the mixture 2, which has a pair of opposing electrodes 5a and 5b, can be used.
