Abstract: A method of producing an electrical connection member includes the steps of applying a carrier containing a light-sensitive resin onto a substrate member, forming holes in portions of the carrier to form a pattern and expose the substrate member in the holes, filling each hole in the carrier with an electrically conductive member, and removing the substrate member from the carrier. With this method, it is possible to easily produce electrical connection members in which high density electrical connecting portions can be provided and in which the reliability and security of electrical connections can be improved.

Abstract: A process for preparing an electrical connecting member having a holding member with an electrically insulating material, and a plurality of electroconductive members. The electroconductive members are mutually insulated from each other and one end of each of the electroconductive members is exposed at one surface of the holding member and the other end is exposed at another surface of the holding member. A holding member is formed by forming a layer on a base member with the holding member having a photosensitive resin on the uppermost surface of the layer. The holding member is exposed and developed by forming a plurality of holes through the holding member, thereby exposing the uppermost surface of the layer. A part of the exposed layer is etched away and the holes on the holding member are filled with an electroconductive member. The remaining layer and base member are then removed.

Abstract: A method of making an electric circuit device by connecting first and second electrical circuit components through an electrical connecting member. The method comprises effecting internal heating such as supersonic heating, high-frequency induction heating, high-frequency dielectric heating or microwave heating at first connecting regions between the connecting portions of the first electrical circuit component and the first ends of the electrically conductive members of the electrical connecting member. The same internal heating may also be effected at second connecting regions between the connecting portions of the second electrical circuit component and the second ends of the electrically conductive members of the electrical connecting member. In consequence, alloying takes place in first and second connecting regions so as to connect the first and second electrical circuit components through the electrical connecting member.

Abstract: A method of producing electrical connection members includes the steps of forming a carrier on a first electrically conductive member, etching holes in portions of the carrier to expose first electrically conductive member in the holes, and etching the portions of the first electrically conductive member which are exposed in the respective holes to form recesses in the first electrically conductive member so that each of the recesses has a diameter larger than the diameter of a corresponding one of the holes. The respective holes formed in the carrier are filled with second electrically conductive members, and then the first electrically conductive member is removed from the carrier. With this method, it is possible to easily produce electrical connection members in which high density electrical connecting portions can be provided and in which the reliability and security of electrical connections can be improved.

Abstract: An aquascooter apparatus including a controller for preventing problems associated with water leakage into the aquascooter. The aquascooter has a battery, a driving motor and a clutch in a housing, and the controller includes a water leak detecting sensor that detects a leakage of water into the housing. A motor control is responsive to the signal from the water leak detecting sensor, and prevents the battery from supplying electric power to the driving motor responsive to this signal. This prevents electrical energy from being used if a water leak is detected, and therefore prevents any possibility of a dangerous situation of a spark in contact with hydrogen gas.
