Publication number: 20180329238Abstract: Provided are a liquid crystal molecule orientation control method and a liquid crystal device which render it possible to change the orientation of liquid crystal molecules without using an electric field. In controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules 103a, which are contained in a liquid crystal material 103 sandwiched between alignment films 104, by the liquid crystal molecule orientation control method, an ultrasonic wave is generated in a piezoelectric material 102 so as to propagate to the liquid crystal material 103, and static pressure is generated in accordance with the ultrasonic wave, with the result that the orientation is changed in accordance with the magnitude of the static pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2016Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: THE DOSHISHAInventors: Daisuke KOYAMA, Satoki TANIGUCHI, Yuki SHIMIZU

Patent number: 10092940Abstract: A piercing die, a holding body, and a piercing punch are used to form a pressed component having a plate-shaped base portion and a tubular boss portion extending from the base portion. The piercing die has a receiving portion, an outer shape-forming portion, and a die-side cutting edge. The piercing punch has an inner shape-forming portion, a punch-side cutting edge, and a straight portion. In a process of forming a pressed component, the piercing punch is pressed against a preform which is formed from a blank and which has a preliminary boss portion so as to cause part of the preliminary boss portion to flow toward the outer shape-forming portion, and so as to then cut off another part of the preliminary boss portion to form a boss portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha F.C.C.Inventors: Keitaro Kawai, Yuki Shimizu

Patent number: 10086423Abstract: A pressed component is formed by pressing a preform having a tapered tubular portion and a sloping portion provided at an end of the tubular portion and curved in a circular arc. Pressing is performed by a forming die apparatus including a holding body, a piercing punch, and a piercing die. When the tubular portion of the preform is held by an outer fixing and supporting portion of the holding body and an inner fixing and supporting portion of the piercing die, the forming die apparatus cuts off a portion of the sloping portion using an outer cutting edge of the piercing punch and an inner cutting edge of the piercing die and then causes a pressing portion of the piercing punch to bend and press the remaining portion of the sloping portion within a forming space to form a corner portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha F.C.C.Inventors: Yuki Shimizu, Yutaka Touda
