    摘要: A measurement method for a physical quantity change of an adhered substance that changes due to external stimulation comprises: measuring a physical quantity change of the adhered substance on an adhesion target by causing a detection unit, in which the adhesion target and the adhered substance placed thereon are on a sensor including a crystal resonator, so as to resonate in a medium; and measuring change in a resonance frequency of the crystal resonator caused by external stimulation to the detection unit, wherein the external stimulation is chemical injection or a temperature change, wherein the change in the physical quantity is a change in an elastic modulus of the adhered substance, a change in an elastic modulus of a laminated part due to detachment of the adhered substance or a change in weight of the adhered substance, and wherein the medium is gas or liquid.

    摘要: A method for determining an adhesability of a film sample (108), wherein adhesability is a prediction of bonding strength between the film sample and a substrate, wherein the film sample (108) is a sample of a wet-adhesion film, said film sample (108) having a first surface (106), an opposing second surface (104) and a straight side edge (102) connecting the first surface (106) and the second surface (104), comprising:
    - contacting the straight side edge (102) of the film sample with an aqueous liquid (160),
    - measuring, from the film sample (108), a set of expansion parameters comprising: a swelling rate of the film sample (108), and a penetration rate of the aqueous liquid (160) into the film sample (108) resulting from the contacting,
    - determining from the expansion parameters, the adhesability of the film sample (108).

    摘要: A bond test apparatus (200, 350) comprises: a test tool assembly, the test tool assembly comprising a test tool configured to contact a bond (101) during a bond test; a flexure (80, 380) coupled to the test tool assembly; a displacement sensor (220, 425); and a detectable member (110, 415). One of the detectable member and the displacement sensor is fixed relative to a first end of the flexure and the other is fixed relative to a second end of the flexure. The displacement sensor is not a strain gauge. The displacement sensor is configured to detect a displacement between the displacement sensor and the detectable member, so that the displacement sensor provides a measurement of a displacement of the first end of the flexure relative to the second end of the flexure on application of a force to the flexure. The bond test apparatus comprises a processor configured to receive a displacement signal from the displacement sensor and to determine the force on the flexure using the displacement signal. A cartridge for a bond test apparatus, a method of measuring a force in a bond test apparatus, and a method of measuring the closing force on the jaws of a bond test tool are also provided.

    摘要: Provided are a method for evaluating a texture upon swallowing a food or drink in which the texture upon swallowing a food or drink can be accurately evaluated by a simple method using an extensional viscometer or the like, a method for producing a formulation for improving a swallowing texture using the evaluation method, and a formulation for improving a swallowing texture. The method for evaluating a texture upon swallowing foods or drinks includes adjusting viscosity of the food or drink to a constant or substantially constant shear viscosity by diluting the food or drink or adding a thickening component thereto; measuring a filament diameter of the viscosity-adjusted food or drink over time using a capillary breakup extensional viscometer to calculate an extensional viscosity and an extensional strain from a change in the filament diameter; determining an index value representing the extensional viscosity in a region where the extensional strain is in a specific range; and evaluating the quality of the texture upon swallowing the food or drink from the determined index value.
