    摘要: A method of manufacturing a thermoelectric converter includes filling each of a plurality of through-holes in each of a plurality of resin films with fillers containing a plurality of thermoelectric material particles. At this time, a part of the filler is extruded from each through-hole. In this state, the plurality of resin films are stacked together. A top-surface protection member having top-surface conductor patterns is stacked on one side of the plurality of resin films. A back-surface protection member having back-surface conductor patterns is stacked on the other side of the plurality of resin films. Thus, an integrated stacked body is formed. The integrated stacked body is then heated and pressurized. A plurality of thermoelectric material particles are thereby sintered to form the first and second thermoelectric members.

    摘要: A wind direction meter has the following plurality of sensors and a control unit. Each sensor has a first surface and has first and second interlayer connection members made of different metals or semiconductors. Further, the wind direction meter includes a thermoelectric conversion element which generates an electrical output when a temperature difference occurs between first ends and second ends of the respective first and second interlayer connection members. The sensor generates an electric output when the surrounding air, whose temperature has been changed by a heater, is moved by the wind to produce a temperature difference between the first ends and the second ends of the first and second interlayer connection members. The control unit calculates the direction of the wind on the basis of the difference in output. Thus, the wind direction of a weak wind can be detected with the wind direction meter.

    摘要: A comfortable temperature control apparatus for a vehicle includes a temperature-change element that changes a temperature by being energized; a heat flux sensor outputting a sensor signal corresponding to a heat flux; a heat diffusion layer disposed on the heat flux sensor; and a control unit that energizes the temperature-change element so as to adjust its temperature. In a seat provided in the vehicle cabin, a cover surface side contacting a passenger, the heat diffusion layer, the heat flux sensor and the temperature-change element are arranged in this order. The heat flux sensor outputs the sensor signal to the control unit, the sensor signal corresponding to the heat flux between the cover surface and the temperature-change element. The control unit adjusts an energization of the temperature-change element, based on the sensor signal, such that the heat flux between the cover surface and the temperature-change element is a predetermined value.

    摘要: In a preparatory process of a method of manufacturing a multilayer substrate, an insulating substrate is prepared, with a conductor pattern formed only on one surface of the insulating substrate. At that time, the conductor pattern is constituted of the Cu element, a Ni layer is formed on the surface of the conductor pattern that is on the side of the insulating substrate. In a first forming process, a via hole having the conductor pattern as the bottom thereof is formed in the insulating substrate. At that time, the Ni layer that is in the area of the bottom is removed. In a filling process, a conductive paste is filled in the interior of the via hole. In a second forming process, a stacked body is formed by stacking a plurality of the insulating substrates. In a third forming process, the stacked body is heated while being subjected to pressure.

    摘要: Resin films, all of which are formed of the same resin material, are laminated to form a laminate. Heat and pressure are applied to the laminate to integrate the resin films into one piece; then the pressure applied to the laminate is released and the laminate is cooled. In a predetermined region of the laminate which is to constitute a bent part, one or more of the resin films are arranged on each of one side and the other side in a lamination direction of the resin films with respect to one conductor pattern; and the total thickness of the one or more resin films arranged on the one side is larger than the total thickness of the one or more resin films arranged on the other side. Consequently, the predetermined region can be bent by utilizing the difference between contraction force generated in the one or more resin films arranged on the one side and contraction force generated in the one or more resin films arranged on the other side during the cooling after the application of heat and pressure.
