Patent number: 11346859Abstract: A contact probe is conductive and capable of expanding/contracting along an axial line direction. The contact probe includes: a first contact member configured to contact one contact target; a second contact member configured to contact another contact target, and to house at least a portion of the first contact member; and a spring member configured to couple the first contact member and the second contact member in a manner capable of expansion/contraction with both end parts of the spring member. The spring member is wound in a helical shape, and at least a diameter of an outer circumference in one of the end parts held by the second contact member is larger than diameters of other portions. A diameter of an inner circumference of an end part of the second contact member on a side housing the first contact member is equal to or larger than a maximum diameter of the first contact member.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuya Souma, Tsukasa Sakaguchi

Patent number: 11131691Abstract: A probe holder holds contact probes each of which comes in contact with one electrode of a contact target on one end portion side in a longitudinal direction. The probe holder includes a plate in which holder holes configured to hold the respective contact probes are formed and penetrate the probe holder. Each of the holder holes includes a first hole portion disposed on one end of a penetrating direction and extending in the penetrating direction, a large diameter portion connected to the first hole portion and extending in the penetrating direction, the large diameter portion being larger than a diameter of the first hole portion, and a second hole portion disposed on another end of the penetrating direction, connected to the large diameter portion, and extending in the penetrating direction, the second hole portion being smaller than a diameter of the large diameter portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2018Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: NHK Spring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsukasa Sakaguchi, Kazuya Souma

Patent number: 8394731Abstract: Disclosed is a printed wiring board which attains aims of printed wiring boards required for realizing high-speed, high-frequency semiconductor devices, namely a printed wiring board having low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss tangent and low linear expansion coefficient. Also disclosed is a composite woven fabric suitably used as a base material for such a printed wiring board. Specifically disclosed is a composite woven fabric containing quartz glass fibers and polyolefin fibers, in which the ratio of the quartz glass fibers to the composite woven fabric is set at 10 vol % or more and 90 vol % or less. It is preferred that the quartz glass fibers each have a filament diameter of 3 ?m or more and 16 ?m or less, and the composite woven fabric has a thickness of 200 ?m or less.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Shin-Etsu Quartz Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Sato, Akira Fujinoki, Hiroyuki Nishimura, Tsukasa Sakaguchi

Patent number: 6849242Abstract: The granule consists of individual granules approximately spherical in shape, having a pore volume of 0.5 cm3, a mean diameter of pores of 50 nm or less, a specific surface area of 100 m2/g or less, and a bulk density of 0.7 g/cm3 or higher. It is produced by dispersing a fumed silica obtained by hydrolysis of a silicon compound into pure water to obtain a slurry, and drying the slurry. The granule is used for producing high purity synthetic quartz glass powder. The method further comprises: a first heat treatment under an oxygen-containing atmosphere, a second heat treatment in a temperature range of from 600 to 1100° C., and a third heat treatment in a temperature range of from 1100 to 1300° C. under an atmosphere containing hydrogen chloride; and a step of densification comprising calcining the product at a temperature not higher than 1500° C. under vacuum or in an atmosphere of gaseous hydrogen or gaseous helium.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2000Date of Patent: February 1, 2005Assignees: Heraeus Quarzglas GmbH & Co. KG, Shin-Etsu Quartz Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Rainer Koeppler, Fritz-Ulrich Kreis, Klaus Arnold, Hiroshi Matsui, Kasumi Hoshikawa, Tsukasa Sakaguchi
