"A method of welding at least two sheets using a high energy density radiation beam that preferably is a laser beam or an electron beam for producing a welded lap joint that is substantially(実質的) completely fused across the width of overlap(重なり) of the sheets preferably for enabling shaping(整形) or forming(成型、形成) to be performed such that at least one of the sheets and at least portion of a weld line defined between the overlapped sheets are bent or three dimensionally contoured(形状). In practicing(実施) a preferred embodiment of the method, the sheets are overlapped and welded by directing at least one radiation beam toward the overlapped sheets having sufficient power density and for a sufficient amount of time to weld the sheets such that they are substantially completely fused from front to back in the overlap region. As a result, the sheets form a blank that preferably(好適) is formed or shaped, such as by shaping, deep drawing(絞り), hydro-forming or roll forming, such that at least one of the sheets and a portion of the weld line of the sheets are bent or three dimensionally contoured. After shaping or forming, the sheets preferably form(形成) at least part of an article of manufacture."

"EXAMPLE 2(実施例2)

In this example, an actual mill stock for making fine paper, printing paper and writing quality paper and having 23% filler was subjected to various laboratory retention, drainage, drying and formation tests after treatment with various combinations of coagulant A (as above), flocculant E (90 mole % acrylamide with 10 mole % dimethylaminoethyl acrylate quaternised with methyl chloride, intrinsic viscosity 7 dl/g), and bentonite.

When polymer was added to thick stock, it was in each instance subsequently sheared using a large angle blade stirrer diameter 6 cm, shear speed 2,000 rpm. When polymer was added to thin stock, it was subsequently sheared using a propellor stirrer diameter 5 cm, shear speed 1500 rpm. When bentonite was added to the thin stock, the thin stock was then stirred with the same propellor stirrer but at 800 rpm.

All mixing, shearing and retention tests were carried out in a baffled Britt Dynamic Drainage Jar fitted with a 250 μm screen wire(抄網)."

"The conventional dilution stages and other processing stages leading to the machine wire necessarily subject the suspension to turbulence and shear and this will inevitably result in degradation of the initial flocs and possibly some resuspension of fibres. The dilution, for instance with white water from the wire(抄網), generally gives a thin stock having a solids content of 0.3 to 2%."

(Abstract)
"Improved fire-retarded properties can be imparted to fiber reinforced polycarbonate resin composition by incorporating into(配合)the polycarbonate an effective flame-retardant amount of a combination of perfluoroalkane sulfonate and talc."

"19. A method to increase the flame retardant property of a polycarbonate composition containing an amount of at least a perfluoroalkane sulfonate flame retardant component, to render the composition a flame rating of at least V-0 in the Underwriter's Laboratory UL-94 protocol when measured on a test specimen of about 0.062 inch by about 0.5 inch by about 5 inch dimensions, said method comprises blending into(配合)said composition an effective flame-retardant amount talc; wherein the polycarbonate composition consists essentially of the polycarbonate resin, the perfluoroalkane sulfonate flame retardant and the talc."

"Because of their strength and clarity, polycarbonate resins have a great many significant commercial applications. Unfortunately, polycarbonate resins are inherently flammable and can drip hot molten material causing nearby materials to catch fire as well. Thus, in a number of applications employing polycarbonate blends, it may be desirable to include(配合)additives which retard the flammability of the material and/or which reduce dripping. The challenge is to identify additives which accomplish this purpose without compromising the desirable properties of strength and clarity, without introducing new problems (such as the potential environmental problems associated with halogenated additives) and without prohibitively increasing the price."

"Achieving flame-retardant resin properties sufficient for obtaining an Underwriter's Laboratories listing is a prerequisite for many commercial applications of thermoplastic resins. To achieve listings of UL94 V-1 and or UL94 V-0 at the desired thicknesses (.ltoreq.2.5 mm), several known flame retardants can be used. But in addition to adding cost, they have other disadvantages compared to non-flame retarded compositions. For example, the use of brominated compounds would preclude a resin from use in applications where conformance with TCO'99 guidelines (non-halogen) is desired. Other regulations or customer preferences may preclude the use of elemental (red) phosphorous or organic phosphates and phosphites. In addition, organic phosphates and phosphites reduce the deflection temperature under load (heat distortion temperature) of polycarbonate (PC)-resins and--because they are low molecular weight compounds--can form undesirable deposits on injection molding tools or the part surface, which in turn can lead to chemical stress cracking. Melamine cyanurates or inorganic hydrates (like aluminum trihydrate--ATH) cannot be incorporated(配合)effectively into resins requiring high processing temperatures due to the onset of their own thermal decomposition in that temperature range and typically reduce impact resistance significantly due to their particulate nature. These constraints are even more important in fiber reinforced composites, because these typically require larger amounts of flame retardant or more effective/costly ones to achieve UL94 V-1 or even UL94 V-0 listings.

Among the additives which are widely used commercially in fire-retarded polycarbonate resin compositions are organic salts, particularly sulfonic acid salts. Particular examples of these salts are perfluoroalkane sulfonates, such as potassium perfluorobutane sulfonate ("PFBS", also known as "Rimar salt" and potassium diphenylsulfone sulfonate ("KSS"), which may yield haze free compositions when blended with(配合)polycarbonate resin. The use of perfluoroalkane sulfonates in polycarbonate resins is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,775,367. However, the benefits which can be obtained using these materials alone are limited and indeed additional additives are generally included."

"Applicants have found that(見出した、知見を得た)the incorporation(配合)of an effective, flame-retardant amount of talc surprisingly reduces the flame-out time of a polycarbonate composition, even without any flame retardant component being present."

(Abstract)
"An electrochemical stack comprising(から成る、含む)carrier ions(*複数), an anode comprising an anode active material layer, a cathode comprising a cathode active material layer, a separator between the anode and the cathode comprising(*係り:separator comprising;cathodeは既述の"the cathode"で、それが"a porous dielectric material"を有するとすればそれは新情報であって、「既述の、多孔性の絶縁材を有するカソード」ではおかしいから、だと思う)a porous dielectric material and a non-aqueous electrolyte, and an ionically permeable conductor layer located(配置)between the separator and an electrode active material layer."

"FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to structures for use in energy storage devices, to energy storage devices incorporating(有する、内蔵)such structures, and to methods for producing such structures and energy devices.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Rocking chair (ロッキングチェア)or insertion secondary batteries are a type of energy storage device in which carrier ions, such as lithium, sodium or potassium ions, move between an anode electrode and a cathode electrode through an electrolyte. The secondary battery may comprise(から成る、有する)a single battery cell, or two more battery cells that have been electrically coupled to form the battery, with each battery cell comprising an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and an electrolyte.

In rocking chair battery cells, both the anode and cathode comprise materials into which a carrier ion inserts(挿入)and extracts(脱離). As(時、に際し) a cell is discharged, carrier ions are extracted from the anode and inserted into the cathode. As a cell is charged, the reverse process occurs: the carrier ion is extracted from the cathode and inserted into the anode.

FIG. 1shows a cross sectional view of an electrochemical stack of an existing energy storage device, such as a non-aqueous, lithium-ion battery. The electrochemical stack 1 includes a cathode current collector 2, on top of which(の上、上部)a cathode layer 3 is assembled(組み付け、組み立て、配設). This layer is covered by a microporous separator 4, over which(の上、上部)an assembly(組立体)of an anode current collector 5 and an anode layer 6 are placed. This stack is sometimes covered with another separator layer (not shown) above the anode current collector 5, rolled and stuffed into a can, and filled with a non-aqueous electrolyte to assemble a secondary battery.

The anode and cathode current collectors pool(溜める)electric current from the respective(それぞれ、各々)active electrochemical electrodes and enables transfer of the current to the environment outside the battery. A portion of an anode current collector is in physical contact with the anode active material while a portion of a cathode current collector is in contact with(接触)the cathode active material. The current collectors do not participate in(関与)the electrochemical reaction and are therefore restricted to materials that are electrochemically stable in the respective electrochemical potential ranges for the anode and cathode.

In order for a current collector(*不定冠詞)to bring current(*無冠詞)to the environment outside the battery, it is typically connected to a tab, a tag, a package feed-through(フィードスルー) or a housing feed-through, typically collectively referred to as contacts. One end of a contact is connected to one or more current collectors while the other end passes through the battery packaging for electrical connection to the environment outside the battery. The anode contact is connected to the anode current collectors and the cathode contact is connected to the cathode current collectors by welding, crimping(圧着), or ultrasonic bonding or is glued(接着)in place with an electrically conductive glue.

During a charging process, lithium(*無冠詞)leaves the cathode layer 3 and travels(移動)through the separator 4 as a lithium ion(*不定冠詞)into the anode layer 6. Depending upon the anode material used(*cf. "used anode material"), the lithium ion either intercalates(インターカレート、挿入される)(e.g., sits in a matrix of an anode material without forming an alloy) or forms an alloy. During a discharge process, the lithium leaves the anode layer 6, travels through the separator 4 and passes through to the cathode layer 3. The current conductors conduct electrons from the battery contacts (not shown) to the electrodes or vice versa.

Existing energy storage devices, such as batteries, fuel cells, and electrochemical capacitors, typically have two-dimensional laminar(積層)architectures(構造)(e.g., planar or spiral-wound laminates(積層体)) as illustrated in FIG. 1 with(付帯、付加説明)a surface area of each laminate being roughly equal to its geometrical footprint (ignoring porosity and surface roughness).

Three-dimensional batteries have been proposed in the literature(文献;*定冠詞) as ways to improve(改善)battery capacity and active material utilization. It has been proposed that a three-dimensional architecture may be used to provide higher surface area and higher energy as compared to(比較、比べ)a two dimensional, laminar battery architecture. There is a benefit to making a three-dimensional energy storage device due to the increased amount of energy that may be obtained out of a small geometric area. See, e.g., Rust et al., WO2008/089110 and Long et. al, “Three-Dimensional Battery Architectures,” Chemical Reviews, (2004), 104, 4463-4492.

New anode and cathode materials have also been proposed as ways to improve the energy density, safety, charge/discharge rate, and cycle life of secondary batteries. Some of these new high capacity materials, such as silicon, aluminum, or tin anodes in lithium batteries have significant volume expansion that causes disintegration and exfoliation(剥離)from its existing electronic current collector during lithium insertion(挿入)and extraction(脱離). Silicon anodes, for example, have been proposed for use as a replacement for carbonaceous electrodes since silicon anodes have the capacity to provide significantly greater energy per unit volume of host material for lithium in lithium battery applications. See, e.g., Konishiike et al., U.S. Patent Publication No. 2009/0068567; Kasavajjula et al., “Nano- and Bulk-Silicon-Based Insertion Anodes for Lithium-Ion Secondary Cells,” Journal of Power Sources 163 (2007) 1003-1039. The formation of lithium silicides when lithium is inserted into the anode results in a significant volume change which can lead to crack formation(割れ、亀裂)and pulverisation(粉砕)of the anode. As a result, capacity of the battery can be decreased as the battery is repeatedly discharged and charged.

Monolithic electrodes, i.e., electrodes comprising a mass of electrode material that retains its a shape without the use of a binder, have also been proposed as an alternative to improve performance (gravimetric and volumetric energy density, rates, etc) over particulate electrodes that have been molded(成形)or otherwise formed into a shape(形状)and depend upon a conductive agent or binder to retain the shape of an agglomerate of the particulate material. A monolithic anode, for example, may comprise a unitary(単一)mass of silicon (e.g., single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon or a combination thereof) or it may comprise an agglomerated(凝集)particulate mass that has been sintered or otherwise treated(処理)to fuse the anodic material together and remove any binder. In one such exemplary embodiment, a silicon wafer may be employed as a monolithic anode material for a lithium-ion battery with(状態)one side of the wafer coupled to a first cathode element through a separator, while the other side is coupled to a second cathode element opposing(対向)it. In such arrangements, one of the significant technical challenges(課題)is the ability to collect and carry current from the monolithic electrode to the outside of the battery while efficiently utilizing the space available inside the battery.

The energy density of conventional batteries may also be increased by reducing inactive component weights and volumes to pack the battery more efficiently. Current batteries use relatively thick current collectors since the foils that make up the current collectors are used with a minimum thickness requirement in order to be strong enough to survive the active material application process. Advantages in performance can be anticipated(期待、予測)if an invention was made in order to separate the current collection from processing constraints.

Despite the varied approaches, a need remains for(必要)improved battery capacity and active material utilization."

US6061435
"It is understood, of course(もちろん、言うまでもなく), that this is merely by way of example and not of limitation(例示、非限定)."

US8062975
"A need(必要、需要)continues to grow for more complex semiconductor (SC) devices and circuits able to(できる、可能)operate at higher and higher frequencies and handle(取り扱う、対応)increasing amounts of power and have lower unit cost. Many of these requirements create conflicting demands on semiconductor device and integrated circuit (IC) design and manufacturing technology. For example, and not intended to be limiting, most SC devices and ICs are fabricated in and/or on substrate wafers, usually but not always single crystal SC wafers, which are then cut up (“singulated”(単一化、ダイシング、分離)) into the individual devices or ICs. The manufacturing cost can be reduced by using larger and larger wafers, since more individual devices and ICs can be produced at the same time on larger wafers. However, to avoid undue wafer breakage, the wafer thickness must generally be increased as(につれて)the wafer diameter is increased.

 

If only one surface of the SC die or IC is available for fabricating devices and connections, the desired degree of complexity may not be achievable with present day(現在)structures and fabrication techniques. Further, as operating speed, power handling and wafer thickness increase, efficient heat removal (放熱、熱除去)from the resulting device or IC becomes more and more difficult. Thus, there is a strong desire(望み、所望、要求)to provide electrically and thermally conductive connections between the front and rear surfaces of the devices or ICs and to minimize the device and/or IC substrate thickness, without compromising mechanical robustness of the wafers during manufacture.

 

It is known to use conductor filled vias through SC wafers as a means of providing electrical and thermal connections between the front and rear surfaces of the wafer and resulting individual devices and IC die. These conductor filled vias are referred to as “through-substrate-vias” or “through-semiconductor-vias” and abbreviated as “TSV” (singular) or “TSVs” (plural). However, the desire to use larger diameter and therefore thicker wafers for cost efficient manufacturing and at the same time to provide highly conductive TSVs for electrically and/or thermally coupling the front and rear faces of the wafer and resulting die are in conflict(相反). The thicker the wafers, the more difficult it is to etch and fill narrow TSVs with conductors(すればするほど). However, if the vias are made larger, then greater wafer and die surface area must be devoted(確保)to such vias. In the prior art, thicker wafers have generally required larger area TSVs consuming greater device and IC surface area, thereby lowering the device and IC packing density on the wafer and increasing the device and IC manufacturing cost. Trying to use large diameter thin wafers so as to maintain the device area packing density reduces the mechanical stability of the wafers. It is well known that thin wafers break more easily during device and IC processing, thereby reducing the manufacturing yield and increasing the cost of the finished devices and ICs. Thus, a need continues to exist for improved SC device and IC structures and fabrication techniques that can provide minimal area TSVs for front-side-to-back-side interconnections and thin device or IC substrates for efficient heat removal, without significantly compromising(損なう)mechanical stability of the wafers during manufacturing."

"For simplicity and clarity of illustration(説明の容易、簡素化、分かり易さ、明確), the drawing figures illustrate the general manner of construction, and descriptions and details of well-known features and techniques may be omitted to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the invention. Additionally, elements in the drawings figures are not necessarily drawn to scale(実寸). For example, the dimensions(寸法)of some of the elements or regions or layers in the figures may be exaggerated relative to other elements or regions or layers to help improve understanding of embodiments of the invention.

 

The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth” and the like in the description and the claims, if any, may be used for distinguishing between(区別)similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are, for example, capable of operation or fabrication in sequences or arrangements other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprise(有する、具備),” “include,” “have” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements or steps is not necessarily limited to those elements or steps, but may include other elements or steps not expressly listed or inherent to(固有)such process, method, article, or apparatus. The term “coupled(結合),” as used herein, is defined as directly or indirectly connected in an electrical or non-electrical manner.

 

As used herein, the term “semiconductor” is intended to include any semiconductor whether single crystal, poly-crystalline or amorphous and to(toの繰り返し)include type IV semiconductors, non-type IV semiconductors, compound semiconductors as well as organic and inorganic semiconductors. Further(さらに), the terms “substrate” and “semiconductor substrate” and “wafer” are intended to include single crystal structures, polycrystalline and amorphous structures, thin film structures, layered structures as for example and not intended to be limiting semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structures, and combinations thereof. The term “semiconductor” is abbreviated as “SC.” The terms “wafer” and “substrate”, singular or plural, are intended to refer to supporting structures that are relatively thin compared to their lateral surface area and used in connection with batch fabrication of electronic devices. Non-limiting examples(非限定)of such wafers and substrates include: semiconductor wafers, SOI wafers, and other types of supporting structures in or on which active and/or passive electronic elements and/or devices are fabricated or that are used in connection with the fabrication of such devices. As is common in the art of SC devices and integrated circuits (ICs), the term “metal” should be interpreted broadly so as to include any form of conductor and the term “oxide” should also be interpreted broadly so as to include any form of insulating dielectric. Non-limiting examples of such conductors are doped semiconductors, semi-metals, conductive alloys and mixtures, combinations thereof, and so forth(等). Analogously, such insulating dielectrics may be organic or inorganic insulators. For convenience of explanation and not intended to be limiting, semiconductor devices and methods of fabrication may be described herein for silicon semiconductors but persons of skill in the art will understand that other semiconductor materials can also be used."

"By way of example and not intended to be limiting(例示、非限定), for silicon wafers of ˜200 mm diameter, initial thickness 21 can be in the range of about 600 to 700 micrometers and for silicon wafers of ~(約、=about)300 mm diameter, initial thickness 21 can be in the range of about 700 to 800 micrometers, but other diameters and thicker or thinner wafers can also be used."

"In the example of manufacturing stage 101 and resulting structure 201, four cavities (e.g., blind vias) 30 of depth 31 are formed in substrate 20, but this is merely by way of example and not intended to be limiting(例示、非限定). Any number of(いくつでも、何個でも)cavities (and eventual vias) 30 can be formed at the same time, spaced at various locations within or near(近く、近傍)device regions 26. In general, the lateral width of eventual vias 30 will correspond to lateral width 32 of mask openings 29 and cavities 30 and for convenience of description(説明のため、便宜上)reference number 32 is hereafter intended to also refer to the lateral width of eventual vias 30. It is desirable that(望ましい、好ましい)width 32 be as small as possible consistent with depth 31, that is, that(*thatの繰り返し)cavities and vias 30 have an aspect ratio that is readily achievable in manufacturing. It has been found that(発見、見い出し、知見)vias having width 32 (e.g., “w”) usefully in the range of about 0.1 to 10 micrometers, more conveniently about 0.5 to 5 micrometers and preferably about 1 to 2 micrometers and depth 31 (e.g., “d”) usefully in the range of about 1 to 30 micrometers, more conveniently about 5 to 20 micrometers and preferably about 10 to 15 micrometers can be readily achieved and filled with highly conductive materials, typically metals, doped semiconductors and/or alloys or mixtures of such materials. It is desirable that depth 31 of cavities 30 exceed depth 27 of device regions 26, especially where(場合、場所)cavities 30 are closely spaced to transistors or other elements within device regions 26, but in other embodiments depth 31 may be shallower than device regions 26 depending upon the lateral location of cavities 30 relative to the transistors or other elements within device regions 26 and their desired operating potential relative to the conductors eventually provided in cavities 30."

"The switch will send periodic SAPs (in the same manner as a router) whenever they are received and no actual SAP and/or RIP timer in the switch is required. These packets are only used by other broadcast isolation switches, routers and servers. Therefore, further broadcast reduction occurs if the switch only sends SAPs out ports from which it received SAPs or a GSQ. Broadcast RIP response packets only need to(さえすればよい)be sent out ports that have routers connected (i.e. ports where broadcast RIP responses have been received). An override may be needed to allow RIPs and SAPs to be propagated out ports that did not send them out, should a listen-only router/server exist on those ports (e.g. old jet direct cards would need this information passed)."

"Let us call this relaxation Recrypt′ε. The main point of this relaxation is that WeakEncrypt does not need to be semantically secure for Recrypt′ε to be a secure one-way proxy re-encryption scheme, or for Recrypt′ε to be useful toward bootstrapping (as we will see below). Thus, depending on ε, WeakEncryptε can be very simple—e.g., for some schemes, and in particular for the ideal-lattice-based scheme that we describe later, WeakEncryptε might leave the input “bits” entirely unmodified. This will unfortunately not help us much in terms of making the encryption scheme bootstrappable; essentially, it will add one circuit level to what ε can evaluate. However, it will affect the eventual computational complexity of our scheme, since it will require less computation to apply the decryption circuit homomorphically to ciphertexts in which the outer encryption is weak. Another way of viewing this relaxation is that we only need to(するだけでよい、しさえすればよい)be able to evaluate non-uniform decryption circuits, where the ciphertext is “hard-wired” into the circuit (making this circuit simpler than the “normal” decryption circuit that takes the ciphertext (and secret key) as input."

"The communication networks that we consider are not necessarily completely connected, but we assume that every pair of correct processes is connected through a fair path. We first consider a simple type of such networks, in which every link is assumed to be bidirectional8 and fair (FIG. 1a). This assumption, a common one in practice, allows us to give efficient and simple algorithms. We then drop this assumption and treat a more general type of networks, in which some links may be unidirectional and/or not fair (FIG. 1b). For both network types, we give quiescent reliable communication algorithms that use HB. Our algorithms have the following feature: processes do not need to know the entire network topology or the number of processes in the system; they only need to(するだけでよい)know the identity of their neighbors."

"Controller means 70 are shown located beneath the table top 68 and include right and left controllers 72R and 72L for control of the respective right and left manipulators 24R and 24L. The right and left controllers are of substantially the same design so that a description of one applies to both. As with the manipulators, the suffixes(添え字)R and L are used to distinguish elements of the right controller from those of the left controller. For purposes of illustration(例示), and not by way of limitation(非限定), the right controller 72R is shown to comprise a housing 74R affixed to(固定)the bottom of table top 68 and from which hand-operated means 76R in the form of a telescopic control arm, or stick, extends."

"FIGS. 2a-2e further illustrate the concept of retinal area with reference to an idealized basic model eye 10a. In these Figures elements that are common to natural eye 10 of FIG. 1 are indicated by the same reference numerals but with the addition of the suffix(添え字)`a`. It will be appreciated that the simulated cornea 12a can be a solid lens rather than a meniscus lens as shown, iris 14 can be a simple aperture disc and lens 16 can be an IOL under test. It is convenient to arrange model eye 10a so that its optic axis 20a is vertical and simulated cornea 12a is uppermost(最上部、位)to allow a test contact lens 45 to be rested(置く、配置)in correct alignment on the anterior surface of cornea 12a (as is known in the art) and it is convenient to construct the model eye so that the cornea, iris and lens are mounted in a replaceable `front-end` module to allow, for example, simulation of old or young eyes and of various corneal profiles, different IOLs and some eye pathologies. Of course, an appropriately arranged test spectacle(眼鏡、メガネ)lens (not shown) can be substituted for test contact lens 45."

"1. An electron beam microfabrication(微細加工)apparatus comprising:

a substantially spherically curved female surface for receiving thereon a patterned photocathode;

a semiconductor wafer holder positioned in front of said surface; and

a lens for focusing(焦点、集光)electrons emitted from said patterned photocathode onto a wafer on said wafer holder on a demagnification(縮小)scale so that when said photocathode is excited(励起)the patterned electron emission therefrom is focussed and demagnified and projected onto a resist on a wafer on said wafer holder for exposure(露光)thereon of a demagnified pattern(縮小パターンをウェーハ上に露光する=露光(技術)により縮小パターンをウェーハ上に形成する;exposure of a pattern on wafer = formation of a pattern on wafer by exposure;electron emissionが当たっているのはレジスト)."

US6900001
(Abstract)
"It has now been surprisingly found that by exposing(露光)a photoresist to flood electron beam exposure in combination with optical exposure, that the pullback on the upper region of lithographic images in resist can be virtually eliminated during electron beam processing. This unexpected result is due to the fact that the electron beam exposure and optional bake(焼成)are carried out prior to development of the resist. This means that the resist shrinkage that is seen as a result of these steps is constrained(抑制)laterally by the resist film itself. Thus, the resist is free to shrink vertically, and the resulting shrinkage provides a reduction in the line slimming((好ましくない)細線化、線痩せ?)and an improvement in the etch rate of the resist. This leads to the formation of a better resist image."

"Referring further to FIGS. 2 and 3, the actuator support tube 70 includes a transverse head portion 74 having a boss 76 formed thereon and operable(動作可能、作用、構成、するよう;*cf. adapted, configured, etc.)to form a pivot connection between the ramp 40 and the actuator 56 at the face plate 46, thanks to(により、基づき、お蔭で)the provision of a clevis 77 and clevis pin 78, as shown in FIG. 3. A generally(概して、略)cylindrical flange member 80 is sleeved over(スリーブを構成し?)the tube 70 in slidable relationship thereto and engages one end of an elongated(長尺)coil compression spring 82 which is disposed between the flange 80 and the flange 69 and sleeved over the tubes 63 and 70. A transverse pin 84 extends through opposed(対向), elongated, longitudinal(長手)slots 86 formed in the tube 70. The pin 84 is also secured to the distal end(先端、末端)of the actuator tube member 62 so that, when this member is extended by rotation of the screw 58 in registration with(整合)the nut 60, the flange 80 will be extended toward head portion 74 of tube 70 until the pin 84 engages(係合)the upper ends of the slots 86 and causes the tube 70 to raise the ramp 40, for example. The screw 58 may be rotated in the opposite direction to retract(格納、収納、後退)the extensible tube member 62 in sleeved relationship within the support tube 63, compressing the spring 82 as the flange 80 moves toward the flange 69. This action leaves the tube 70 free to move in a reciprocal telescoping fashion(往復伸縮自在)with respect to the tube 63 if, for example, the ramp 40 is caused to move up and down about its hinge means 39. Such action by the ramp 40 may occur frequently in response to movement of a vehicle loadbed relative to dock 33, at which the apparatus 20 is disposed in a conventional manner. Accordingly, in response to rotation of the screw 58 in one direction by the motor 64, the nut 60 and extensible actuator tube member 62 is extended outward from the tube 63 until the pin 84 engages the ends of slots 86 in tube 70 and raises the ramp 40 about its hinge means 39. At any time, the actuator 56 may be reversed to cause the tube member 62 and flange 80 to retract toward the housing 66 thereby allowing the tube 70 to move in telescoping relationship over the support tube 63, at will(任意)."

"What is claimed is:

1. An in-mold(インモールド)label, comprising: a substrate, said substrate having a first surface for engaging a mold surface and opposed(対向)second surface for engaging an article being molded(被モールド品、モールド対象物), an adhesive applied to said second surface, and a plurality of perforations through said substrate, said plurality of perforations extending from said first surface through said second surface causing said second surface to be roughened(粗くする、粗面化)."

"In Takatori et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,804,127, the reference teaches a laminating blow molding method. A resin sheet has 1 to 500 fine holes per 100 cm2 punched therein to form projections(突起)thereon as burrs(バリ). These burrs side(バリ側)of the resin sheet is placed in a blow mold so that the burrs face the cavity face. After the parison is blown, the mold is heated to a temperature exceeding the softening temperature of the resin sheet so(*多分so as toの誤記)squash the fine holes so that they substantially do not remain in the resin sheet. See, for example, FIGS. 5A and 5B. In Takatori, it is the non-burr side of the resin sheet(*that抜け)is the side which will engage the hollow article being made. In contrast to the teachings of Takatori, the molds used with the labels of the present invention are cooled and not heated."

"With reference to FIGS. 1-6, the in-mold label 10 of the instant invention is shown having an exterior surface 12 and an interior surface 14. A plurality of perforations 20 are made in the label 10 from the surface 12 toward the surface 14, thereby creating a plurality of rough openings or burrs 22 on surface 14. In the preferred embodiment shown, the surface 14 includes a patterned adhesive 30. As seen in(示す)FIG. 6, a label 10 has been attached to a molded article 2.

This was accomplished by placing the label 10 into a mold such that the surface 12 is adjacent the mold so that the surface 14 with burrs 22 and adhesive 30 receives the parison blown into the mold. The test results, explained later, demonstrate that this combination of burrs 22 and patterned adhesive 30 on surface 14 significantly reduce air-entrapped blistering during the molding process, blistering being the retention of air between the label 10 and the article 2."
