  • Publication number: 20180347081
    Abstract: Provided is a highly elastic and pliant knitted fabric which affords restorability against repetitive stretching, has characteristic of varying in electrical resistance with state changes between stretched state and unstretched state, and may provide air permeability, moisture permeability, and water absorbability for suitable use as wearable material. A direction in which continuous loops are successively formed in knit structure is defined as course direction or course, loops are formed of conductive yarn, elastic yarn is positioned so as to exhibit tightening force in course direction, and the knitted fabric is designed so that, when in unstretched state, conductive yarn loops arranged adjacent each other in course direction are kept in contact with each other under tightening force of elastic yarn, whereas, in a state of being stretched in course direction, conductive yarn loops move away from each other against tightening force of elastic yarn.

  • Patent number: 7718556
    Abstract: A medical film that is excellent in biocompatibility and bioabsorbability and has an excellent strength in suturing and bonding is provided. A reinforcing material 12 made of a biodegradable polymer is placed in a gelatin solution so as to allow the solution to infiltrate in the reinforcing material 12 and then the gelatin is dried. This allows the gelatin that has infiltrated entirely in an internal part of the reinforcing material 12 to gel, thereby forming a gelatin film 11. Thus, a medical film 1 in which the reinforcing material 12 and the gelatin film 11 are integrated is obtained. The gelatin film 11 preferably is a cross-linked gelatin film.

  • Publication number: 20090200277
    Abstract: A protection plate is welded to a metal structure in water so that the protection plate covers the surface of the structure including a portion to be repaired. The welding is carried out such that the periphery of the protection plate is welded in water by laser welding while inactive gas is supplied to portion to be welded to seal the portion to be repaired by the protection plate. Welding is carried out while the inactive gas is supplied to the portion to be welded coaxially with a laser beam during the laser welding. The plate is provided therein with an opening in advance so as to release vapor produced from water remaining during welding between the protection plate and the structure and the opening is sealed after the periphery of the protection plate is welded to the structure.

  • Patent number: 7382216
    Abstract: A noise filter includes a capacitor having a hot side input terminal, a hot side output terminal, a ground side input terminal, and a ground side output terminal. A circuit board includes a hot side input electrode connected to the hot side input terminal, a hot side output electrode connected to the hot side output terminal, a ground side input electrode connected to the ground side input terminal, and a ground side output electrode connected to the ground side output terminal. The impedance of the ground side input terminal seen from the ground side output electrode is larger than both the impedance of the ground side output terminal seen from the ground side output electrode and the impedance of the hot side output terminal seen from the ground side output electrode. For this purpose, a stray capacitance formed between the ground side input electrode and the ground side output electrode is reduced by increasing a gap therebetween. Accordingly, excellent noise-reducing characteristics are provided.

  • Patent number: 6067227
    Abstract: A heat sink mounted on a heat producing element for cooling the heat producing element attached on the printed board of the electronic apparatus, having a heat sink body made of a good heat conductive material and a fan assembly installed inside the heat sink body. The heat sink body is efficiently air-cooled by a cooling air generated by the rotation of the fan assembly. The cooling air forcibly cools a base and a fixing wall of the base adjacent to the heat producing element and plate-like radiating fins or a pin-like radiating fins are protruded on the heat sink body to radiate the heat effectively. The position of the fan assembly is at the center of the heat sink body or is at the offset position from the center of the heat sink body. The heat sink of the present invention can be installed in a portable electronic apparatus such as a portable computer.
