Patent number: 7750069Abstract: At least one resin component which is selected from a biodegradable resin and a plant-based resin, and a flame retardancy-imparting component are kneaded to obtain a resin composition having flame retardancy. This resin composition makes it possible to apply the environment-friendly resin such as the biodegradable resin and the plant-based resin, for example, polylactic acid and polybutylene succinate to exterior bodies of home appliances. Particularly, in the case where polylactic acid is used with the acetylacetonatoiron as the flame-retardant component, a resin composition having excellent flame retardancy can be provided as a non-halogen material.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Takehiko Yamashita, Kunihiko Takeda, Yoshiyuki Tani, Takao Hisazumi

Publication number: 20100022152Abstract: The present invention provides a material recovering method in which an attached member attached to at least one surface of a glass substrate is removed from the glass substrate so that the glass substrate is recovered. The method includes: a step A of crushing part of the glass substrate so that a glass fragment is formed; and a step B of allowing the glass fragment to impact against the attached member so as to detach and remove the attached member from the glass substrate. This method allows an attached member attached to a glass substrate to be removed at low cost and achieves an improved yield of the glass substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2007Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicant: PANASONIC CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroshi Iwamoto, Yoshiyuki Tani

Patent number: 7515685Abstract: In a fluorescent X-ray analysis method, a sample (1) is set on a sample stage (2) on an upper side of an X-ray irradiation chamber (7) and a sample cover (6) is closed from the upper part of the sample (1) to surround the sample (1), and then, a lower plane of the sample (1) is irradiated with X-ray for analysis. When the sample (1) is set on the sample stage (2) and the sample cover (6) is closed, a cover detecting means (8) detects that the sample cover (6) is closed and X-ray is automatically projected from an X-ray source (3) to start analysis.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Hiroshi Iwamoto, Yoshiyuki Tani, Takao Hisazumi, Yukihiro Iwata, Etsuyoshi Sakaguchi
