  • Patent number: 6998647
    Abstract: An infrared communication module with remote control function includes a PD chip for IrDA data, an IC chip, an LED chip for IrDA data, and an LED chip for remote control transmission that are mounted on a PWB. The PD chip, IC chip and LED chips are sealed by a resin. The resin forms a light-receiving lens for infrared communication surrounding the PD chip, a light-emitting lens for infrared communication surrounding the LED chip for IrDA data, and a light-emitting lens for remote control surrounding the LED chip for remote control transmission. Such a structure allows an infrared communication module with remote control transmission function having a structure that can prevent increase in the cost of production and a mounting space.

  • Patent number: 6720724
    Abstract: A neck portion (3) formed in the subterminal portion of the narrower diameter side of the funnel shaped separator, has holding portions (32a, 32b) and upper holding portion (33a, 33b) to hold magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21). The protrusions (80a, 80b) formed in the neck portion (3) have slope side (80a1, 80b1). Upon the insertion of the magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21) to the neck portion (3) from the narrower diameter side thereof, the magnetic rings (10, 11, 20, 21) contact the slope sides (80a1, 80b1) before they contact the slope sides (33a2, 33b2) of the protrusions (33a0, 33b0) of the upper holding portion (33a, 33b).

  • Patent number: 6472809
    Abstract: A deflection yoke for a cathode ray tube comprises a funnel shaped separator means 1a, 1b having a cylindrical neck portion 3 where a magnetic ring is attached. The magnetic ring is engaged with upward holding portions 33a, 33b and with downward holding portions 32a, 32b, which hold such magnetic ring. Root portions 33a3 and 33b3 of the downward holding portions 32a and 32b are substantially inflexible, where the inner circumference of the magnetic ring substantially contacts the root portions 33a3 and 33b3, and the root portions 33a3 and 33b3 restrict the position of magnetic ring from being disengaged from the protrusions 33a1 and 33b1 when the downward holding portions 33a and 33b are forced to disengage the magnetic ring.

  • Patent number: 6469458
    Abstract: Auxiliary deflection coils are connected to horizontal deflection coils. Each auxiliary deflection coil is disposed in the intermediate region between the inner peripheral end adjacent to a window and the outer peripheral end. Each horizontal deflection coil is dividable into three regions extending from its winding introductory part to its winding terminal part. A variable inductance coil is connected in parallel with the intermediate region to control the horizontal deflection current flowing across the horizontal deflection coil. The variable inductance coil has a cylindrical core installed in a hollow space of a bobbin and a coil connected in parallel with the auxiliary coil. A disc core is provided adjacent to the coil. The disc core has an end face larger in area than an end face of the cylindrical core.

  • Patent number: 5956128
    Abstract: An enlargement lens is moved to a retracted position by driving a lens moving deck, and temporarily transferred onto a lens storing deck. After the lens moving deck is returned to its initial position, the enlargement lens is rotatably supported on support rails and rotated about its rotatable shaft to expose a lens surface to the outside for the cleaning. Accordingly, the enlargement lens can easily be cleaned.
