    Abstract: A method of resin-sealing for a laminated core includes the steps of: holding by sandwiching a core body 11 between a resin injection mold 20 and a supporting mold 21; extruding a molten resin using a plunger 37 from a resin reservoir pot 24 provided in the resin injection mold 20; and resin-sealing the permanent magnets 18 in the magnet insertion holes 16 and 17, wherein a material of the resin reservoir pot 24 of the resin injection mold 20 and a region through which the resin passes from the resin reservoir pot 24 is a superhard material, and wear in the resin injection mold 20 due to a flow of the resin is reduced. With this, a gap between the resin reservoir pot 24 and the resin injection mold 20 due to a difference in thermal expansion is less easily produced.

    Abstract: A hand-held device for joining fishing line segments of monofilament, fluorocarbon, and/or braid lines of similar or differing sizes or combinations or securing hooks or other components to at least one line. The device includes an encasement for orienting the fishing line segments in a closed chamber in close, non-contacting orientation. A material is injected into the closed chamber to encase the lines. This material can be adhesive material or a flowable polymer material having a melting temperature lower than the line segments to be bonded. A pre-formed, flexible polymer sheath is used to retain the line segments in the chamber. A heater heats the polymer sheath within the encasement to allow the polymer to flow and encase the line segments without melting the line segments. Bonding of the line segments can be achieved without melting, abrading, compressing, or impairing the integrity the line segment(s) to be encased.

    Abstract: An industrial product structure combined with organic material is formed in an injection mold which has a mold cavity and at least one injection port to allow an injection material to be injected into the mold cavity. The industrial product formed in the mold includes an organic material layer on the surface, a bottom layer having at least one orifice and an injection material layer located between the organic material layer and bottom layer. The organic material layer and bottom layer are placed in advance in the mold cavity with the orifice of the bottom layer positioned above the injection port of the mold cavity. The injection material is injected through the injection port and orifice to form the injection material layer. The injection material layer has two sides bonded to the organic material layer and bottom layer.

  • Publication number: 20130193612
    Abstract: A semiconductor device manufacturing method comprises: stacking semiconductor chips on a substrate, applying an underfill material around the semiconductor chips, inclining the substrate, heating the substrate to decrease the viscosity of the underfill material, and hardening the underfill material after gaps in the semiconductor chips have been filled with the underfill material. The method allows gaps in the semiconductor chips between chips and other chips and chips in the substrate to be filled with the underfill material, which may be, for example, a thermoset resin . The method allows the gaps to be filled quickly and without leaving unfilled voids in the semiconductor device that might adversely affect device performance.

  • Patent number: 8496771
    Abstract: A method of filling and sealing a fluorescent layer in a slot space defined by two optical lenses and a partition ring is disclosed, in which a slot space is defined by two optical glasses and a partition frame having a partition ring on the inner wall surface. The partition frame is installed with two slots diametrically opposite to each other, and the slot space is evacuated to allow filling of a fluorescent material, and then the two slots are sealed so that the moisture is prevented from permeating into the fluorescent layer, and thus the optical performance can be maintained over a long period.
