  • Patent number: 8336914
    Abstract: A belt anchor comprises an anchor portion which changes the extending direction of a belt body toward a vehicle front, a bolt which supports the anchor portion, and a nut which fastens the bolt. The belt anchor is fixed to a lift gate inner and a second reinforcement at a position which is located near a pivotal axis of a hinge. Accordingly, a seatbelt device of a vehicle which can ensure both the properly-large slant angle of the belt body and the support strength of the belt anchor, keeping appropriate flexibility of the vehicle layout, can be provided.

  • Patent number: 6931246
    Abstract: A line coupling structure for coupling a dielectric waveguide to a suspended line has the dielectric waveguide including dielectric strips and two conductor plates that are approximately parallel to each other, the dielectric strips and a circuit board being sandwiched between the conductor plates. The line coupling structure also has the suspended line including the conductor plates and a conductor pattern on the circuit board. The conductor pattern is arranged in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the dielectric strips. A protruding conductor pattern that extends in the extending direction of the dielectric strips is provided at a crossing position of the conductor pattern and the dielectric strips.

  • Patent number: 6642882
    Abstract: A mixer used in a millimeter-wave band and a microwave band capable of achieving loss reduction, a radar module, and a communication apparatus incorporating the mixer and having high efficiency. The mixer includes two electrodes formed on one main surface of a dielectric substrate and another electrode formed on another main surface thereof such that non-electrode portions on both main surfaces are opposed to each other via the dielectric substrate. Additionally, a diode is connected bridging a slit between the two electrodes on one main surface to constitute a circuit board. The circuit board and a dielectric strip are arranged between upper and lower conductive plates.

  • Patent number: 6067002
    Abstract: A circuit substrate with a built-in coil has layers comprising respectively a wiring sheet, magnetic material, a flat coil, and magnetic material, which are overlaid. The wiring circuit sheet is made of polyimide, on which a circuit pattern is formed. The magnetic material is formed of a plurality of overlaid amorphous alloy sheets having slits and put together with adhesive. The flat coil may be formed by winding a copper wire covered with insulating film. The coil component, including the magnetic material and the flat coil, and the wiring circuit sheet are adhered to each other with the circuit pattern and the coil component being electrically connected to each other.

  • Patent number: 6047603
    Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor includes: a floored cylindrical case, a piezoelectric vibration element and input-output terminals. The floored cylindrical case has a separately prepared cylinder part and a separately prepared vibration part, and the cylinder part and the vibration part are adhered together with an adhesive material having an elastic modulus in the range from 100 through 20,000 kgf/mm.sup.2 at a temperature range from 25 through 125.degree. C. The piezoelectric vibration element is disposed on the inner bottom floor of the floored cylindrical case. The input-output terminals are electrically connected to the piezoelectric vibration element and are adapted for electrical connection to outside of the floored cylindrical case.

  • Patent number: 5463365
    Abstract: A coil contains a winding part and a core. The winding part is formed of plural laminated sheets each having a winding pattern. Plural winding patterns are formed on at least one sheet. Each of the winding patterns has a different number of turns, and the winding patterns are formed around the core so as to be coaxial in the same winding direction. The winding patterns formed on the other sheets are connected via a through-hole, and an end of the winding pattern is connected to an input/output portion formed outside of the sheet.

  • Patent number: 5386206
    Abstract: A layered coil, having high connection reliability, formed by alternately stacking a plurality of coil conductors and insulators. Outlet portions of the of coil conductors are connected with each other without using through holes. The coil conductors are formed on surfaces of insulating sheets so that the outlet portions of the coil conductors project from edges of the insulating sheets. The insulating sheets are stacked so that the outlet portions of the coil conductors can be connected, by spot welding or the like, with each other or with terminals in portions projecting from surfaces of the layered product.
