Patent number: 6479777Abstract: An electronic parts conveying apparatus reduces damage to electronic parts (e.g., chip-type electronic parts) and stabilizes the positions of the electronic parts during a conveying operation. The conveying apparatus has a conveying table having, on its entire outer-peripheral section, concave storage slots formed with identical pitches that store the electronic parts in series. The conveying table also has air holes, each of which passes through a respective concave storage slot. One end of the air hole terminates in an opening disposed on an inner-circumferential side surface of the concave storage slot. The other end of the air hole communicates through a selector valve with a negative air pressure source, which generates negative air pressure suction applied to suction the electronic part into the concave storage slot. The hole is also connected with a positive air pressure source, which generates air pressure to eject the electronic part from the concave storage slot.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1998Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventor: Masakazu Yamakawa

Patent number: 4307356Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate and a transmitting, a receiving and a reflecting transducer disposed thereon in a row along a predetermined path. The transmitting transducer is responsive to an input signal having a predetermined center frequency for propagating a first surface acoustic wave along the predetermined path. The receiving transducer is located at a location spaced a predetermined distance from the transmitting transducer and is adapted to convert the first acoustic wave to an electrical output signal, but also generates an undesired reflected wave. The reflecting transducer is provided close to one of the other two above-described transducers and is responsive to the first surface acoustic wave to generate a cancellation reflected wave which cancels the undesired reflected wave.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 1980Date of Patent: December 22, 1981Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventor: Seiichi Arai

Patent number: 4229786Abstract: In a fly-back transformer, the tertiary winding for obtaining the secondary B power source is wound in a position where the coupling with the primary winding is weak and where it interlinks the leakage flux of the secondary winding with the primary winding, and the output of the tertiary winding is rectified during the scanning period of a horizontal deflection circuit of a television receiver. Accordingly, only the wave crest value of the ringing is made smaller, regardless of the shot pulse to be obtained within the secondary winding.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1978Date of Patent: October 21, 1980Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Yutaka Mitani, Katumi Tokuda, Saburo Kitao
