Abstract:
Two types of resin films are prepared for manufacturing a multi-layer board containing a chip component. A fist type has a via hole for the chip component to be inserted into, while a second type does not have the via hole. Resin films including the two types are piled before the chip component is inserted. At least a given resin film of the first type has a via hole provided with protruding members. Of the protruding members, opposing protruding members form a gap between their tips. This gap is shorter than an outer dimension of the inserted chip component. The chip component crushes portion of the tips of the protruding members while being pressed and inserted into the via hole in the given resin film.
Abstract:
In a clinical and physiological abnormality monitoring apparatus, and blood pressure monitoring apparatus detects a blood pressure abnormality and the like of a body by employing a pulse wave signal. A frequency analysis is carried out with respect to a pulse wave signal, while this pulse wave signal corresponds to time sequential data of pulse waves. As a result, both a C-frequency component indicative of a fluctuation component of a base line of the pulse wave signal, and also an A-frequency component representative of the respective pulse waves are acquired. A ratio C/A of power of a peak contained in the C-frequency component with respect to power of a peak contained in the A-frequency component is calculated to determine abnormality of the blood pressure.
Abstract:
A vital signal detecting apparatus comprises an attachable device to be attached to a finger, a sensor having a light-emitting device and a light-receiving device, and a transmitting circuit for transmitting a signal waveform as a pulse wave from the sensor to a pulse wave monitoring unit. The pulse wave detecting unit also has an attachment detecting circuit for detecting whether or not the attachable device is in an attached state by comparing a signal waveform obtained when the light-emitting device is on with a signal waveform obtained when the light-emitting device is off and an operation control circuit for controlling the operation of the sensor, the transmitting circuit and the attachment detecting circuit. Preferably, the light-transmitting plate is disposed above the light-emitting device and the light-receiving device to pass light therethrough, and the light transmitting plate may be an IR-cut filter capable of blocking light of wavelengths greater than 700 nm.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal optical device including a liquid crystal/polymer composite film including a matrix polymer composed mainly of a transparent resin having an ionic dissociative group and, dispersed therein, a liquid crystal particle; and conductive substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal/polymer composite film therebetween, at least one of the conductive substrates being transparent. A method for producing the liquid crystal optical device according to the present invention includes the steps of dispersing a liquid crystal in a dispersion medium composed mainly of water to prepare an oil-in-water type emulsion; preparing a composition for electrodeposition through the use of the resultant emulsion and a resin for a matrix polymer; electrodepositing the composition for electrodeposition on a conductive base material to form an electrodeposited coating; and drying the electrodeposited coating to form on the conductive base material a liquid crystal/polymer composite film including a matrix polymer and, dispersed therein, a liquid crystal particle.
Abstract:
For printing fine patterns, a fine pattern of a setting type ink is applied to a printing plate surface to become printing elements. Then, the setting type ink thus applied on the printing plate is subjected to a setting treatment thereby to set at least one part of the ink pattern, and thereafter the printing plate and an object to be printed are pressed relatively against each other thereby to transfer the ink pattern onto the print object. The printing plate can be an intaglio plate or a lithographic plate. Fine patterns of printing element widths as fine as 3 .mu.m with an ink film thickness of 2 .mu.m can be printed efficiently with the high precision on various objects including hard and rigid objects.
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel planographic printing plate suitable for dry planographic printing without supply of dampening water and a method for the preparation thereof. The inventive printing plate has, on one surface of a base plate, a layer of an organopolysiloxane composed of the areas where fresh surface of the organopolysiloxane is exposed bare as the ink-repellent non-image areas and the areas where the surface of the organopolysiloxane layer has been subjected to the treatment with low temperature plasma to be oleophilic or ink-receptive as the image areas of the printing plate. According to the inventive method, the pattern-wise exposure of the organopolysiloxane layer to the plasma atmosphere is performed by first providing a pattern-wise layer of a plasma resistant protective resist layer on the organopolysiloxane layer followed by the plasma treatment and removal of the resist layer. In an improved embodiment of the invention, a layer of an abrasion-resistant ink-receptive material is provided on the organopolysiloxane layer in the plasma-treated areas so that the durability of the printing plate is remarkably improved. Further, incorporation of a metachromatic substance susceptible to plasma treatment, e.g. a dye subject to color change by the plasma treatment, in the organopolysiloxane or in an undercoating primer layer facilitates determination of the end point of the plasma treatment.

A multilayer substrate includes an insulating base member having a plurality of resin films, an electric element embedded in the insulating base member, and a spacer. The resin films are made of a thermoplastic resin and stacked and attached to each other. At least one resin film has a through hole for inserting the electric element. The one resin film further has a plurality of protruding members. One protruding member opposes to another one protruding member so that the one and the another one contact and sandwich the electric element. The spacer is arranged between the one resin film and an adjacent resin film and is disposed at a base portion of one of the protruding members.

Abstract:
In a printed circuit board manufacturing equipment, a pressing die includes a first pressing part, a second pressing part, and a frame part. A buffer member is disposed between a first surface of a laminated body and the first pressing part. The second pressing part has a portion facing a second surface of the laminated body and a portion facing the buffer member. The frame part surrounds a whole area of a side surface of the buffer member. Before pressing and heating, the laminated body, the second pressing part, and the buffer member define an escape space therebetween for escaping the buffer member deformed due to the pressing. A lip protrudes from the frame part toward the laminated body. The lip is deformed following the deformation of the buffer member and comes in contact with a surface of the second pressing part facing the buffer member.
