20120043508SOLUBLE IMIDE SKELETON RESIN, SOLUBLE IMIDE SKELETON RESIN SOLUTION COMPOSITION, CURABLE RESIN COMPOSITION, AND CURED PRODUCT THEREOF - An imide skeleton resin represented by the following general formula (1) has a coefficient of linear expansion as low as that of polyimide resin and excellent processability like epoxy resin, and is useful as a resin composition for electrical laminates. Five percent by mole or more of the entirety of the A component is a linking group having an imide skeleton represented by the following general formula (4-1). B denotes a hydrogen atom or a group represented by the following structural formula (5). n denotes an integer in the range of 0 to 200. If both of the B's are hydrogen atoms, then n denotes an integer of 1 or more.02-23-2012

20120160169FILM FORMING APPARATUS - Provided is a film forming apparatus for forming a polyimide film on a substrate by supplying a first raw material gas formed as aromatic acid dianhydride and a second raw material gas formed as aromatic diamine to the substrate maintained within a film forming container, and thermally polymerizing the supplied first and second raw material gases on a surface of the substrate. The apparatus includes: a substrate maintaining unit within the film forming container; a substrate heating unit configured to heat the substrate; a supply mechanism within the film forming container, configured to include a supply pipe with supply holes for supplying the first and second raw material gases to the interior of the film forming container through the supply holes; and a controller configured to control the substrate maintaining unit, the substrate heating unit, and the supply mechanism.06-28-2012
20120180727FILM FORMING APPARATUS - Provided is a film forming apparatus for forming a film on a substrate maintained within a film forming container by supplying a raw material gas to the substrate. The film forming container includes a substrate maintaining unit, a supply mechanism configured to include a supply pipe with supply holes formed thereon to supply a raw material gas to the interior of the film forming container through the supply holes, an exhaust mechanism configured to include an exhaust pipe with exhaust holes formed thereon to exhaust gas from the interior of the film forming container through the exhaust holes, and a controller configured to control the substrate maintaining unit, the supply mechanism, and the exhaust mechanism. The supply holes and the exhaust holes are formed to face each other with the substrate maintained in the substrate maintaining unit interposed therebetween.07-19-2012

20120315928MOBILE TERMINAL AND LOCATION MEASUREMENT METHOD - A mobile terminal and a location measurement method that can reduce measurement loads on the terminal. A GPS positioning unit performs location measurement in predetermined cycles or in accordance with user instructions. In performing the measurement, a control unit determines a movement state of the mobile terminal. The control unit, when determining that the mobile terminal is in a stationary state and the mobile terminal has not moved from a most recently measured location by referring to state information stored in a state information management table, can cause the location information storage table to store therein the most recently measured location stored in the location information storage table as a current location of the mobile terminal.12-13-2012

20130042712GEAR MECHANISM - A decelerating-side tooth surface of each tooth of a drive gear contacts a corresponding one of teeth of a driven gear to transmit torque when torque transmitted between the drive gear and the driven gear is maximum, and is formed as follows. The decelerating-side tooth surface protrudes toward the corresponding tooth of the driven gear and has a circular arc curvature to a facewidth direction of the corresponding tooth. The decelerating-side tooth surface is formed so that a center of the circular arc curvature is located apart in a facewidth direction of the tooth of the drive gear from a plane perpendicular to the facewidth direction in a middle in the facewidth direction toward an opposite side from a portion of the decelerating-side tooth surface that contacts the corresponding tooth of the driven gear at the time when the transmitted torque is maximum.02-21-2013
