  • Patent number: 9312669
    Abstract: A resistor for suppressing magnetizing inrush current includes a container made of an insulating material and at least one resistive element housed in the container, the resistive element being connected to two bushings provided at the container, the outer surface of the container being coated with a conductive paint, and the paint being connected to the ground, thereby being able to be located between a cable and a switch, and being able to fix the outer surface thereof to a ground voltage level so that human contact safety is not impaired.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8002155
    Abstract: A slide valve device for automatic surface pressure application including a slide valve having a three-layer structure, in which the movable bodies of the seal case is slidable on a support surface of a spring holder. The slide case and the seal case are coupled with each other by means of a coupling device or a coupling stopper, and the cases are slid together by means of an actuator so as to apply and release a surface pressure.

  • Publication number: 20090184139
    Abstract: To achieve increase in surface pressure application force and compactification of configuration in a slide valve device having a three-layer structure, in which a seal case is slid by means of a cam surface and movable bodies. The present invention provides a slide valve device for automatic surface pressure application including a slide valve having the three-layer structure, in which the movable bodies of the seal case is slidable on a support surface of a spring holder, the slide case and the seal case are coupled with each other by means of a coupling means or a coupling stopper, and the cases are slid together by means of an actuator so as to apply and release a surface pressure.

  • Patent number: 4802369
    Abstract: A sensor structure including a ceramic detecting element mounted in a metal sleeve through an insulator, the metal sleeve being fixed to a main metal tubular member through heat-sealing, and the metal sleeve is sealed. Due to the use of the metal sleeve, splitting and cracking are eliminated, always maintaining good airtightness and protecting the sensor from damage.

  • Patent number: 4686861
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gasket type pressure sensor mounted on a vibrating body such as a cylinder head of an engine generating vibration derived from knocking and fuel injection, and used to detect pressure fluctuation by means of piezoelectric elements. An object of the present invention is to prevent an oil- and water-leakage from a portion of the gasket type pressure sensor and eliminate caulking and electrical shortcircuiting. This is accomplished by placing a presser metal portion between the piezoelectric elements and the seam of a metal case which encloses them.
