Publication number: 20170106180Abstract: A transdermal patch and a microneedle sheet can efficiently introduce a target substance to the stratum corneum and prevent a reduction in the protection capability of the stratum corneum. A microneedle sheet comprises a sheet-shaped base material and a plurality of microneedles on the sheet-shaped base material making contact with a stratum corneum of a skin. Each of the plurality of microneedles includes a skin-stretching part projecting from the sheet-shaped base material, the skin-stretching part having a tip surface configured to stretch the stratum corneum by pressing against the surface of the stratum corneum of the skin without sticking into the surface of the stratum corneum. A needlelike-projection part is formed on the tip surface of the skin-stretching part having a shape such that the needlelike-projection part sticks into the surface of the stratum corneum and a peak part of the needlelike-projection part stays inside the stratum corneum.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2015Publication date: April 20, 2017Inventors: Hiroyuki NAGAI, Yoshiko SUETOMI, Saori YOSHIZUKA

Patent number: 9417725Abstract: A piezoelectric sensor that can perform position detection and load detection. The touch panel having press detection function can detect the pressing load inputted to the pressing surface. An upper electrode, an upper insert member, an intermediate electrode, a lower insert member, and a lower electrode are arranged away from the pressing surface in this order. Among the upper electrode, the intermediate electrode, and the lower electrode, capacitance detection electrodes Cx, Cy for detecting the pressing position, and detection electrodes S for measuring the electric charge according to the pressure when the operation is inputted to the touch panel 1 having press detection function are included. One of the upper insert member and the lower insert member is composed of an insulating body, and the other is composed of a piezoelectric body.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2014Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: NISSHA PRINTING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuji Watazu, Yoshiko Suetomi, Eiji Kakutani, Keisuke Ozaki, Junichi Shibata, Shuzo Okumura, Ryomei Omote, Juichi Murata, Takao Hashimoto

Patent number: 8811033Abstract: A mounting structure includes a protection panel (1) with a touch input function for protecting an electronic device display window, mainly formed of the protection panel body made of a resin plate, and a panel fitting portion (32a) of an exterior housing (32) into which the protection panel (1) is fitted from outside so that an outer face of the protection panel (1) is in the same plane as a portion of the exterior housing surrounding the outer face. In this structure, nut mounting holes are formed in a back side rim portion of the protection panel body and nuts (33) each having a female thread formed in an inner periphery thereof are attached to the respective nut mounting holes, and male screws (34) are screwed into the respective female threads of the nuts (33) through through-holes (32b) formed in the panel fitting portion (32a) of the exterior housing (32).Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Nissha Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiko Suetomi, Kazuhiro Nishikawa, Yoshihiro Kai
