  • Publication number: 20230309275
    Abstract: To obtain a power conversion device reduced in size and weight wherein heat generated from a capacity module is sufficiently dissipated, thus enabling prevention of a rise in the temperature of the capacity module. The power conversion device includes a first cooler which, having mounted thereon the capacity module, cools heat generated from the capacity module; a second cooler which, having mounted thereon a semiconductor module, cools heat generated from the semiconductor module; and a heat dissipation plate which, being thermally connected to the capacity module and to the second cooler, dissipates via the second cooler one portion of the heat generated from the capacity module, wherein the first and second coolers, being disposed so as to form a refrigerant flow path, both share a refrigerant.

  • Patent number: 10864552
    Abstract: A pseudo force sense generation apparatus including a base, and first to nth vibrators that make asymmetrical motions where relative positions of the vibrators to the base are fixed is provided. An ith vibrator included in the first to the nth vibrators is each capable of presenting pseudo force sense in an ith straight-line direction. The pseudo force sense generation apparatus makes a rotary motion centered at a neighborhood of a center of gravity of a system by driving of the vibrators.

  • Patent number: 8666312
    Abstract: A signal electrode (11A) and a ground electrode (11B) are disposed respectively on surfaces of a case (10). In this way, the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) do not come into contact with any electric component, such as a transmission circuit (21), disposed inside the case (10), and thus a reduction in an electric field (Ec) induced in an electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. In addition, a certain distance between the signal electrode (11A) and the ground electrode (11B) is kept, and thus a reduction in the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be prevented. Furthermore, the contactability between the signal electrode (11A) and the electric-field transmission medium is improved, and thus the electric field (Ec) induced in the electric-field transmission medium can be increased.

  • Patent number: 7907895
    Abstract: When a human hand (100) holds a transceiver (3a), the hand holds a bottom of an external wall surface and a side of the external wall surface of an insulating case (33). Therefore, a transmitting and receiving electrode (105) and an insulating film (107) cover not only the bottom of the external wall surface but also the side of the external wall surface of the insulating case (33). A first ground electrode (131), a second ground electrode (161), and a third ground electrode (163) are attached to upper portions of the internal wall surface of the insulating case (33) apart from the transmitting and receiving electrode (105). An insulating foam member (7a) is interposed between the insulating case (33) and a transceiver main body (30), and an insulating foam member (7b) is interposed between the transceiver main body (30) and a battery (6).

  • Patent number: 7412229
    Abstract: The button apparatus is an apparatus provided for, for example, a vending machine and to be touched and pressed with the body of a user who wants to purchase a commodity from the vending machine. By pressing down the button apparatus, the user can purchase a required commodity from the vending machine. The button apparatus has a conductive pusher, an insulator, a switch, and a transceiver. A user wearing a wearable computer and a user's transceiver touches and presses down the pusher, to separately establish communication between the transceiver and the user's transceiver through the conductive pusher and the body of the user, as well as communication of providing a press signal.
