Abstract:
Provided is a method of manufacturing a capacitive electromechanical transducer using fusion bonding, which is capable of reducing fluctuations in initial deformation among diaphragms caused at positions having different boundary conditions such as the bonding area, thereby enhancing the uniformity of the transducer and stabilizing the sensitivity and the like. The method of manufacturing a capacitive electromechanical transducer includes: forming an insulating layer on a first silicon substrate and forming at least one recess; fusion bonding a second silicon substrate onto the insulating layer; and thinning the second silicon substrate and forming a silicon film. The method further includes, before the bonding of the second silicon substrate onto the insulating layer, forming a groove in the insulating layer at the periphery of the at least one recess.

Abstract:
An oil pump driven by an engine generates a hydraulic pressure supplied to a frictional engagement element. An accumulator provided at an intermediate position of an oil path supplies the hydraulic pressure generated by the oil pump to the frictional engagement element. A controller stops the engine after a hydraulic pressure reducing condition to reduce the hydraulic pressure supplied to the frictional engagement element holds and the hydraulic pressure supplied to the frictional engagement element is reduced.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a polyisocyanate composition which comprises: (a) a hydrophilic polyisocyanate comprising at least one base polyisocyanate selected from an aliphatic and/or an alicyclic diisocyanate, and a polyisocyanate derived therefrom, and a nonionic hydrophilic group, bonded to the polyisocyanate, containing therein 5 to 50 repeating ethylene oxide units in terms of the average number of the units, wherein the hydrophilic group is present in an amount of from 2 to 50% by weight, based on the total weight of the base polyisocyanate and the hydrophilic group; and (b) 0.5 to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of components (a) and (b), of a substantially water-free ionic surfactant. The polyisocyanate composition exhibits not only excellent dispersibility in water, but also exhibits high stability in the form of an aqueous dispersion thereof, since a reaction between the terminal isocyanate groups and water is suppressed. Further, a cold crosslinkable, two-pack aqueous urethane coating composition, which comprises an aqueous polyol as a main agent and the polyisocyanate composition as a curing agent, has not only excellent pot life characteristics, but also is capable of forming a coating which has excellent properties, such as excellent water resistance, so that such an aqueous coating composition can be advantageously used as various aqueous paints, adhesives, building materials and sealing materials.
