Introduction

Kotaro Mizuno is an inventor based in Tokyo, Japan, associated with Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. His patent work addresses the design and manufacture of laminated ceramic capacitors, with a focus on limiting capacitance loss caused by sintering agents.

Latest Patents

Mizuno is listed as an inventor on 1 patent: “Laminated Ceramic Capacitor and Method of Manufacturing Laminated Ceramic Capacitor.” The invention describes a capacitor body with two internal electrode layers separated by a ceramic layer. It specifies an electrode structure in which a non-electrode part is surrounded by an electrode part and contains a sintering-agent element. The concentration of that element in the non-electrode part is higher than its concentration at the interface between the internal electrode layer and the ceramic layer. This arrangement is intended to reduce the loss of capacitance associated with the sintering agent.

Career Highlights

Mizuno’s documented patent contribution concerns materials and electrode structure in multilayer ceramic components. The patent connects the composition of the ceramic layer and the distribution of sintering-agent elements within an internal electrode to capacitor performance.

Collaborations

The patent identifies Mizuno as an inventor and Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd. as his associated company. The available information does not specify additional collaborators.

Conclusion

Kotaro Mizuno’s recorded patent work focuses on a laminated ceramic capacitor design intended to preserve capacitance by controlling the distribution of sintering-agent elements.
