  • Patent number: 5151641
    Abstract: An electric automobile driving apparatus installed in an electric automobile for driving the same. The driving force of the electric automobile is generated by a main battery as the rotating force of a motor. The motor is an AC motor and driven by an AC current output from the main battery and converted into a DC voltage by an inverter. Electric appliances installed in the automobile are driven by a DC voltage having a different value which is output from an auxiliary battery. The auxiliary battery is charged with the DC voltage obtained by rectifying the output from a secondary coil which is disposed in close proximity to a primary coil of the motor.

  • Patent number: 4072004
    Abstract: An electronic timepiece comprises a digital display device and electronic circuitry including a printed circuit board containing thereon a pattern of printed conductors connected to drive the digital display device. A cover member is disposed atop the timepiece casing and on a side portion of the cover member are mounted a plurality of depressable key switches, the key switches being mounted at a location overlying and spaced from the pattern of printed conductors. An electro-conductive rubber sheetlike member coacts with the cover member for both sealing in a water proof manner the region between the cover member and the timepiece casing and effecting electrical connection between individual ones of the key switches and the pattern of printed conductors in response to depression or actuation of the key switches.
