  • Patent number: 5950469
    Abstract: An apparatus for surface-hardening steel balls includes a container having projections protruding inwardly from and extending longitudinally along an inner wall; a support shaft having projections extending outwardly from and longitudinally along the support shaft; a container driving mechanism which rotates the container in one direction; and a support shaft driving mechanism which rotates the support shaft in an opposite direction. In operation, the container's projections transfer the balls from a lower portion of the container to a higher portion where the balls are dropped to the lower portion while the support shaft's projections strike the steel balls when the steel balls are dropping to the lower portion.

  • Patent number: 5886592
    Abstract: A feedthrough ceramic capacitor having a grounding fitting provided in a part of a housing of the capacitor is mounted to a filter box by being forced into the latter through an insertion hole of the filter box. Since a corrugated edge is provided around the entire circumference of the insertion hole provided in the filter box, the feedthrough ceramic capacitor can be forced into the filter box easily. Further, because no gap is generated between the filter box and the grounding fitting, high-frequency noise in the inside of the filter box never leaks to the outside.

  • Patent number: 5729425
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high voltage capacitor and a magnetron which can reduce the weeping noise resulting from the electrostriction phenomenon while maintaining the function as a filter.A capacitor constituted with a dielectric porcelain, is provided with through holes which pass through the dielectric porcelain and electrodes on the two surfaces where the through holes open. One of the electrodes is secured onto one surface of a grounding member. Through conductors are connected with electrical continuity to the electrodes by passing through the capacitor and the grounding member. Insulating resins are filled around the capacitor. The relative dielectric constant of the dielectric porcelain is within the range of 3000 to 6000.

  • Patent number: 5544002
    Abstract: A high voltage capacitor is disclosed that comprises a grounding member (1), two through type capacitors (2 and 3), an insulating case (6) and insulating resin (71 and 72). The grounding member (1) has two raised portions (101 and 102) on which the through type capacitors (2 and 3) are secured. The insulating case (6) has two hollow cylindrical portions (61, 62) spaced apart by a distance D with their upper open ends joined to each other to form a recessed enclosure (63) in line with and following the inner diameter sections (611, 621) of the hollow cylindrical portions (61, 82) and their lower open ends fitted on the outer circumference of the raised portions (101, 102). The insulating resin (71 and 72) is provided around the through type capacitors (2 and 3) within the inner diameter sections (611, 621).
