  • Patent number: 6572721
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an automotive sunshade panel formed from a metallic hollow panel and having flanged edges and a two-dimensional curved surface or a three-dimensional curved surface formed at least partially of its central portion excepting the peripheries of the metallic hollow panel. For use in the present invention, a fabric may be laminated to at least one side of the metallic hollow panel. The metallic hollow panel is formed into a one-side expanded Roll-Bond® panel, a both-side expanded Roll-Bond® panel, a both-side flat three-layer Roll-Bond® panel or a honeycomb panel.

  • Patent number: 6332644
    Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an automotive sunshade panel formed from a metallic hollow panel and having flanged edges and a two-dimensional curved surface or a three-dimensional curved surface formed at least partially of its central portion excepting the peripheries of the metallic hollow panel. For use in the present invention, a fabric may be laminated to at least one side of the metallic hollow panel. The metallic hollow panel is formed into a one-side inflated Roll-Bond panel, a both-side inflated Roll-Bond panel, a both-side flat three-layer Roll-Bond panel or a honeycomb panel. In order to obtain such an automotive sunshade panel of the present invention, the metallic hollow panel is first bent in the roll circumferential direction (Y—Y axis) by means of twin rolls consisting of a rigid roll and an elastic roll, and then is subjected to a flanging process in which its longitudinal edges are flanged by press forming or roll forming.

  • Patent number: 6301115
    Abstract: A heat sink device for use in desktop electronic devices comprises a heat sink which can be firmly attached to a CPU assembly with extremely great strength. The holes to be formed in the CPU circuit board of the CPU assembly or the heat sink can be made as small as possible to ensure a great advantage in design. Fastening members, connecting pins or like fasteners used are unlikely to project beyond the outer surface of the CPU assembly to ensure compactness. Furthermore, the heat sink device achieves a high radiation efficiency and is less costly to manufacture.

  • Patent number: 6164368
    Abstract: A heat sink for use in a portable electronic device for disposing of the heat generated by an electronic component of the device, the heat sink comprising in its entirety a metal clad plate composed of two metal sheets and having a nonbonded portion in a required pattern, the nonbonded portion providing a heat pipe portion formed by outwardly inflating at least one of the two metal sheets of the nonbonded portion to make a hollow portion and enclosing a working liquid in the hollow portion, the metal clad plate having on one surface thereof a mount portion for the electronic component at a region thereof where the heat pipe portion is partly present, the heat pipe portion having a heat receiving portion at the region thereof where the mount portion is present. When a heat-generating electronic component is attached to the mount portion, the working liquid in the heat receiving portion is heated with the heat produced by the component to evaporate.

  • Patent number: 5705214
    Abstract: The food component transfer sheet of this invention comprises(i) a water- and heat-resistant base sheet in the form of a continuous ribbon extending in one direction,(ii) a layer of granules, powders and/or chips of a food component to be transferred as disposed repeatedly along the length of said ribbon with a ligation interval between repeats, and(iii) a glue layer made of an edible water-soluble macromolecular substance as disposed between said base sheet and said food component layer.Casings fabricated from this food component transfer sheet can be easily gathered and mechanically clipped with the same clips as used for conventional casings so that the production of ham and other food items is greatly facilitated.

  • Patent number: 5421406
    Abstract: A heat sink having pin-shaped fins, for example, for use in disposing of heat in printed boards for computers comprises a heat dissipating base plate and a plurality of comblike fin members arranged in parallel at a predetermined spacing on one surface of the base plate approximately perpendicular thereto, each of the fin members comprising pin-shaped fins arranged in a row and connector connecting the fins together each at one end thereof, the connector of each fin member being joined to the surface of the base plate. The fins are given a greater height and arranged with a reduced pitch with a higher density for disposal of increased amounts of heat. To prepare the heat sink, the fin members are blanked out from a metal sheet, the fin members and spacer plates are arranged alternately on one surface of a heat dissipating base plate approximately perpendicular thereto, the connectors of the fin members are joined to the base plate and the spacer plates are thereafter removed.

  • Patent number: 5345354
    Abstract: This invention relates to a wide-write/narrow-read head having a pair of C-shaped cores one of which is used as a read core and the other of which is used as a write core, and a closure core which is provided between the two cores to shut off side magnetic circuits at the time of data reading. The closure is reduced in thickness at the tip end and is shaped to slope toward the read head so as to increase magnetic resistance from said closure core to said read core in order to prevent the magnetic flux extending between said write core and said closure core from leaking into said read core from said closure core.

  • Patent number: 5229904
    Abstract: This invention relates to a wide-write/narrow-read head having a pair of C-shaped cores one of which is used as a read core and the other of which is used as a write core, and a closure core which is provided between the two cores to shut off side magnetic circuits at the time of data reading. The closure core is reduced in thickness at the tip end and is shaped to slope toward the rear head so as to increase magnetic resistances from said closure core to said read core in order to prevent the magnetic flux extending between said write core and said closure core from leaking into said read core from said closure core.

  • Patent number: 5057957
    Abstract: This invention relates to a wide-write/narrow-read head having a pair of C-shaped cores one of which is used as a read core and the other of which is used as a write core, and a closure core which is provided between the two cores to shut off side magnetic circuits at the time of data reading, and provides a magnetic head which further includes an element to either offset magnetic flux of said side magnetic circuits or shorten the magnetic path length thereof or to increase magnetic resistances from said closure core to said read core in order to prevent the magnetic flux extending between said write core and said closure core from leaking into said read core from said closure core. This invention also provides a data recording/reproducing method which can offset magnetic flux of the side magnetic circuits at the time of data reading by forming a magnetic flux in said closure core in the opposite direction, and which can suspend such offsetting operation at the time of data writing by a simple ON/OFF switch.
