Abstract: An adhesive for semiconductor device, comprising (a) a polyamide resin having an amine value of 20 to 60 and a weight average molecular weight of 1,000 to 5,000 and (b) a phenolic compound having a weight average molecular weight of 2,000 or less and having a skeleton containing at least 2 methylol groups.

Abstract: A suspension system includes a shock absorber, a coil spring, a tubular dust cover, and an insulator. The shock absorber is provided with a first seat and a second seat at the opposite ends. The insulator is disposed between the first seat and the coil spring, and includes a body for holding the coil spring, and a contact projecting from the body in a centripetal direction and having a portion being brought into contact with one of the opposite ends of the dust cover. The insulator forms a space between the first seat and an outer portion with respect to the portion of the contact. Thus, the insulator reduces the wear of the first seat resulting from the contact with the dust cover, inhibits the first seat from corroding, and keeps the strength of the first seat from decreasing.

Abstract: This invention relates to an adhesive tape for tape automated bonding (TAB). A first type of the adhesive tape for TAB according to the invention has a protective film and an adhesive layer laminated on an organic-insulating film. This adhesive layer is characterized by comprising at least resol-type phenol resin and polyamide resin, wherein from 2 to 35% of said resol-type resin is contained in the adhesive layer. A second type of the adhesive tape for TAB according to the invention has a protective film and an adhesive layer laminated on an organic-insulating film. This adhesive layer is characterized by having at least two layers: one comprising at least polyamide resin and being laminated on one surface of said organic-insulating film and; other comprising at least polyamide resin and resol-type resin and being laminated on other surface of said protective film.

Abstract: A steering coupling structure is disclosed which includes a cylindrical bushing mounted in a transmission line of a steering force in a steering system of a motor vehicle, such that an axis of the bushing extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the steering system. The cylindrical bushing includes an inner sleeve connected to one of the input and output shafts of the steering system, an outer sleeve disposed radially outwardly of the inner sleeve and connected to the other shaft; and an annular elastic body interposed between the input and output sleeves for elastic connection thereof.

Abstract: A cylindrical upper support interposed between a body of a vehicle and a piston rod of a shock absorber of the vehicle, including a generally cylindrical or annular inner rigid member, a generally cylindrical outer rigid member, and an elastic body interposed between the inner and outer rigid members for elastically connecting the inner and outer rigid members. The elastic body has two fluid chambers which are filled with a non-compressible fluid and which are formed in respective intermediate portions thereof as viewed in axial directions of the rigid members, such that the fluid chambers are opposed to each other in a diametric direction of the inner rigid member.

Abstract: A bushing structure in a vehicle suspension system including a support secured to a vehicle chassis or an axle housing, a fulcrum shaft supported by the support and rotatably supporting the bushing structure, and a suspension arm pivotally connected to the bushing structure. The bushing structure comprises an outer metal fitting connected to the suspension member, an inner cylindrical metal member in which the fulcrum shaft is inserted, and an annular resilient member secured to the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical metal member and press-fitted in the outer metal fitting together with the inner cylindrical member. The bushing structure further comprises a plurality of radial stop rings positioned within the annular resilient member in spaced relation with one another axially of the annular resilient member. The bushing structure may preferably further comprise one or two annular axial stop members each including a stop ring embedded therein.

Abstract: An upper support for a wheel suspension assembly of a vehicle having a shock absorber. The upper support comprises an inner member connected to a piston rod of the shock absorber, an outer member disposed concentrically with the inner member and fixed to the vehicle body, and a resilient member interposed between the inner and outer members. The outer member consists of two annular halves which are fixed together with their outer peripheral flanges in abutment with each other. Stopper means are provided preferably on the outer member for limiting an axial elastic deformation of the resilient member. One or both axial end portions of the resilient member held in the outer member have an annular groove concentric with the inner member and a plurality of bosses equally spaced along the annular groove. The bosses are axially outwardly projected from an annular abutment portion of the resilient member which is radially inward of the annular groove.
