  • Patent number: 7099527
    Abstract: Optical waveguides facing each other with a layer-to-layer spacing kept not to permit the occurrence of a proximity effect perturbation within a gap section formed in an intermediate layer are configured so that at least one of the optical waveguides is moved toward the other facing the one optical waveguide with drive to cause the occurrence of the proximity effect perturbation between the optical waveguides. Thus, optical signal switching or translation takes place by coupling optical signals transmitted through the optical waveguides with each other by the proximity effect perturbation.

  • Patent number: 7057279
    Abstract: A high frequency module device having a high frequency circuit block unit including a passive device. A plural number of unit wiring layers, each formed by an insulating layer, having a passive device unit in its portion, and by a pattern wiring, are layered on a dummy substrate, and are released from the dummy substrate to form the high frequency circuit block unit (2), which is mounted on a motherboard (3).

  • Publication number: 20050102151
    Abstract: As a server computer receives, in a communication portion, data on an appearance of a custom-made product, such as a stamp, from a purchaser computer, a preview image creating portion creates smaller-sized preview image data than normal image data to be used when a stamp is produced by a stamp producing device connected to a supplier computer. The created preview image data is transmitted from the communication portion to the purchaser computer and the supplier computer, as required, and displayed on respective browsers. Therefore, the purchaser of the custom-made product can be promptly view the preview image of the custom-made product.

  • Publication number: 20050068748
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin film circuit board device having passive elements in wiring layers. The thin film circuit board device includes a base board (2) and a circuit part (3) including insulating layers (11) and (16) and pattern wiring (14) and (17) formed on a build-up forming surface (2a). On the first insulating layer (11), a receiving electrode part (21) is formed and the passive elements electrically connected to the receiving electrode part (21) are formed. In the circuit part (3), a substrate titanium film and a substrate film are laminated so as to cover the receiving electrode part (21) and the passive elements respectively. The substrate film and the substrate titanium film in areas in which a metallic film is not formed are etched through the metallic film serving as the first pattern wiring (14) formed on the substrate film as a mask. Thus, a substrate layer (23) and a substrate titanium layer (22) are formed.
