Abstract:
Sintered ITO having a relative density of at least 88% and an oxygen content of 15.5-17.0 wt %, as well as an ITO sputtering target made of this sintered ITO. Using the target, an optimal range for the proportion of oxygen in a mixture of argon and oxygen gases used as a sputtering atmosphere is sufficiently expanded to permit the consistent formation of ITO films.
Abstract:
The impeller of an electric blower includes a front shroud, a rear shroud, sheet-metal blades, a hub part, and an inducer having a plurality of blade parts. The inducer is configured to be divided into two parts: a first inducer composed of a first hub part and first blade parts; and a second inducer composed of a second hub part and second blade parts. The first inducer is disposed such that outer-peripheral blade-tips of the first blade parts are disposed in the proximity of the front shroud, and that the upper surface of the first hub part is proximally covered by the lower surface of a fastener.
Abstract:
Air guide (10) that rectifies air blown out from an impeller includes a plurality of guide vanes (80) having a circular arc shape. In a cross-sectional shape of each one of flow passages (81) of air guide (10), length B of a straight-line portion in a shaft direction of an inner wall-surface formed by one of guide vanes (80) on an outer peripheral side is small compared with length A of a straight-line portion in a shaft direction of an inner wall-surface formed by one of guide vanes (80) on an inner peripheral side. This provides a uniformed flow velocity distribution inside flow passages (81), resulting in a reduced loss caused by differences in flow velocity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for forming a multilayered coating film having a bright feel specific to a metallic coating film and a fineness of a luster color pigment with controlling the miscibility between each coating film when final coatings comprising an intermediate coating composition, a base coating composition and a clear coating composition are applied in this order by a wet-on-wet method to form coating films. The method for forming a multi-layered coating film comprises a step of applying an intermediate coating composition, a base coating composition and a clear coating composition in this order on a substrate formed with an electrodeposition coating film, and a step of baking and curing the applied three layers simultaneously, wherein the base coating composition contains crosslinking polymer microparticles and a nonaqueous dispersion resin.
Abstract:
An electric blower includes an electric motor having a rotating shaft and an impeller fixed to the rotating shaft for rotation. The impeller has a rear shroud fixed to the rotating shaft, a front shroud which faces the rear shroud and has an inlet hole to take in air, a plurality of blades disposed between the rear shroud and the front shroud, and an inducer which streamlines air flowing from the inlet hole and has a three dimensional-shaped vane. The inducer is formed separately from the blade and is disposed between the rear shroud and the front shroud, whereby an electric blower that is simple in structure, lower in clearance between parts, higher in strength, and lower in air loss is realized. Also, a practicable vacuum cleaner high in sucking performance is realized by the utilization of the electric blower.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for spray coating selected areas of a circuit board with an insulative coating material without coating regions of the circuit board to be left uncoated. A liquid spray device emits the coating material and an air assist attachment connected to the liquid spray device directs jets of air into impinging relation with the coating material emitted therefrom to transform the coating material into an atomized, shaped spray pattern for coating the selected areas. The air assist attachment can be disabled so that the spray device transforms the coating material into a non-atomized, shaped spray pattern for coating selected areas without coating regions of the circuit board to be left uncoated.

A semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first input terminal configured to input a first input voltage, a second input terminal configured to input a second input voltage, a differential amplifier configured to generate a differential output voltage by amplifying a differential input voltage obtained from a difference between the first input voltage input by the first input terminal and the second input voltage input by the second input terminal, a switch configured to electrically connect or cut off the first input terminal and the second input terminal, and a sample hold unit connected to a power supply which generates a reference voltage and configured to generate an offset correction voltage of the differential amplifier based on the differential output voltage and the reference voltage when the first input terminal and the second input terminal are electrically connected by the switch.
Abstract:
An electric blower includes a motor unit having a stator and a rotor, a fan unit having an impeller attached to an output shaft of the rotor, and a circuit unit having a heat-generating component for controlling electric power to the motor unit. The circuit unit is arranged in an airflow path of air expelled from an outer periphery of the impeller toward the stator and the rotor of the motor unit. The air suctioned by rotation of the impeller cools the heat-generating component in the circuit unit before cooling the stator and the rotor.
