Then, ultrasonic vibration is applied through the bonding metal to make the connection between the bonding metal and the terminal.

Abstract: A dental magnetic attachment having good cushioning properties against a compressing pressure which makes a denture sink appropriately on biting. The dental magnetic attachment embedded in the denture base for holding the denture in the oral cavity by a magnetic attractive force working with the magnetic assembly and a soft magnetic keeper embedded in the top of the root surface includes a magnetic assembly and a cap covering the top of the magnetic assembly. The magnetic assembly has a hollow in the center of its top. The cap with a button is placed on the magnetic assembly, inserting the button into the hollow to contact to its bottom. On biting, the button is compressed, to be deformed with a shorter thickness and at this time a sleeve formed as a body around the core slides down along the side of the magnetic assembly to reduce the thickness of the dental magnetic attachment. This sliding makes the denture sink uniformly and appropriately.

Abstract: An apparatus that gives continuous hydrogen heat treatment to anisotropic rare earth magnet powders is invented. The apparatus a comprises shopper 12, a furnace 11 to carry out a hydrogen heat treatment, a heat compensating means 14 that is placed in the heating room of the furnace to keep the treatment temperature constant, a movable stopper 15 to support the material in the heating room of the furnace 11 and a cooling container 18. The raw magnet powder is fed into the furnace 11 and supported by the stopper 15, then hydrogen heat treatment is carried out. After the treatment the stopper opens the bottom end of the heating room and the processed magnet powder falls into the cooling room. By the operation described above, the present apparatus can carry out continuous hydrogen heat treatment without stopping the heating of the furnace batch by batch. Continuous hydrogen heat treatment greatly improves the production efficiency and quality of the processed magnet powder.

The rare earth permanent magnet powder consists essentially of rare earth element including yttrium, iron, and boron. It is subjected to hydrogen heat treatment accompanied with phase transformations. The treatment is carried out at the relative reaction rate within the range of 0.25-0.50 at 830.degree. C. and hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa. Here the relative reaction rate is defined as the ratio of actual reaction rate to the standard reaction rate which measured at the temperature of 830.degree. C. and hydrogen pressure of 0.1 MPa.

Abstract: Compression molding suitable anisotropic magnet powder had not been established facing the difficulty of contradiction of high density and magnet powder alignment. By applying both magnetic field and pressure at the moment when the resin is melted into liquid state by heating, both high density and a high degree of magnet powder alignment are attained. Furthermore, application of degassing and ultrasonic vibration were found to be effective. An anisotropic bonded magnet with the maximum energy of more than 20 MGOe, in other words, more than 80% of the theoretical value of maximum energy product, is obtained.

It comprises the aligning step in which the preform is preliminary compression-molded in the preforming molding die 22 in the preforming press 20 with an applied magnetic field to align the magnetization direction of the magnet powder at a temperature in which the thermosetting resin in the compound becomes liquid state, the transferring step in which said preform is transferred from preforming press 20 to densifying molding die 32 in a densifying press 30, and densifying step in which said partly cured preform is compression-molded by applying pressure in a densifying press 30 to obtain desired shape of magnet.

Abstract: In HDDR (hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption and recombination) treatment, a mass production method and its apparatus for anisotropic rare earth magnet powder had not been established because it is difficult to keep a constant temperature of material due to an exothermic/endothermic reaction with hydrogen. The present invention compensates for the heat accompanied with the exothermic/endothermic reaction by a counter reaction by the use of dummy material. The apparatus includes sets of a processing vessel and a heat compensating vessel in contact and in control of their temperature. The apparatus enables the temperature control of HDDR treatment within a desired range and constantly brings out the maximum property from the material. The controlability of the method is independent of the production scale so that mass production by HDDR treatment can be set into practice.

Abstract: A thin film layered member having high heat dissipation efficiency is composed of at least two diamond layers and at least one interlayer. The diamond layers and the interlayer ape alternately laminated and the diamond layers form outer surfaces of the thin film layered member. When this member is applied to a heatsink or the like, thermal stress to an element mounted thereon can be reduced because of a laminated structure comprising an interlayer having a high coefficient of thermal expansion and diamond layers having a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Further, the interlayer includes a carbide forming metal, which reacts with carbon atoms constituting a diamond in a laminating process and to form a carbide at an interface between the interlayer and the diamond layer, thereby realizing strong bonding therebetween.

Abstract: Permeameter suited for measuring permeability of a small, non-magnetic (i.e., the permeability value is close to 1) object. The probe of the permeameter is of the differential transformer type with an exciting coil and two detecting coils placed at both ends of the exciting coil. The difference in the outputs of the detecting coils is analyzed and the effect of the eddy current is effectively eliminated, whereby the signal representing the permeability of the object is extracted from the difference signal by the phase shift analysis. By reducing the distance between the two detecting coils, the influence of the disturbance of the eddy current at the boundary of the object sample is minimized and the permeameter can measure a small object sample without sacrificing accuracy and sensitivity.
