Abstract:
An agitating device for agitating the exhaust gas of an engine includes a base plate having a plurality of through holes that are defined by radially extending spoke portions and a ring-like rim portion and are arranged in a circular pattern in a circumferential direction of the base plate, and a plurality of fins expanding from the respective spokes on a slant with respect to the base plate. The base plate is fixed in the exhaust passage by the rim portion being jointed to the exhaust passage at welded portions. The welded portions are each disposed in an area between respective two adjacent spoke portions in the circumferential direction of the base plate, and an outer edge of the rim portion positioned on the outer side of the rim portion in extending directions of the spoke portions is located next to the exhaust passage with a gap provided therebetween.
Abstract:
A housing-remover tool for a press-fit connector. The tool including shoulder part pressers for pressing the shoulder parts of pin-shaped terminals, each shoulder part presser having a hollow part for receiving a pin part of the pin-shaped terminal and a cut-away part at a leading end for engaging with the shoulder part; a first sub-assembly for insertion inside a housing of the connector and provided with through-holes for receiving the shoulder part pressers; and a second sub-assembly having a pair of engagement members having engaging protrusions which can engage with stepped parts of the housing and a lifting portion for lifting the engagement members along the side surfaces of the first sub-assembly.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method of surface mounting a connector which enables a connector to be automatically mounted while preserving reliability of soldered portions and without additionally providing a special apparatus. The connector is formed to be thick at a portion and thin at another portion with respect to an axis C1. In surface mounting the connector on the printed circuit board, a hook member is inserted into a through hole formed in advance through the printed circuit board. Then, the reflow process is carried out on the printed circuit board whereby terminals of the chips including the lead pins are soldered. The printed circuit board is removed from a reflow furnace, and cooled, whereupon the hook member is bent toward a hooking portion side. This brings the hooking portion into engagement with the underside of the printed circuit board, whereby the connector is firmly fixed to the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
A metal film, particularly, a stainless steel film having been not subjected to roughing treatment, and an aromatic polyimide substrate film having a thermoplastic surface can be combined with a high bonding strength to form a metal film/aromatic polyimide film laminate, utilizing an amorphous aromatic polyimide film of 0.05 to 3 &mgr;m thick which has a glass transition temperature in the range of 200 to 300° C.
Abstract:
A process for production of polyimide powder, which comprises reacting a biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride and an aromatic diamine in an amide-based solvent optionally containing a water-soluble ketone, in the presence of an imidazole at 1-100 equivalent percent based on the carboxylic acid content of the polyimide precursor, separating and collecting the produced polyimide precursor powder from a water-soluble ketone solvent containing 3-30 wt % of an amide-based solvent, and heating the polyimide precursor powder to an imidation rate of 90% or greater, as well as polyimide powder obtained thereby, molded bodies of the polyimide powder, and a process for production of the molded bodies.
Abstract:
Aromatic polyimide powder wherein a solid portion consisting of a highly heat resistant crystalline aromatic polyimide is covered with a coating layer of an amorphous polyimide, and a process for producing polyimide powder molded bodies by compression molding of the powder. The polyimide powder has satisfactory secondary molding workability, and molding thereof gives molded bodies which retain heat resistance and dimensional stability while having high mechanical strength and elongation.
