  • Patent number: 9595736
    Abstract: The lithium-ion conductor contains a crystal structure whose composition formula is represented by Li7+2xP1-xBxS6 (0<x?1). The crystal structure contains a LiS4 tetrahedron and a BS4 tetrahedron, a triangle window of the LiS4 tetrahedron through which lithium ions pass becomes large caused by the BS4 tetrahedron, and an ionic conductive path is expanded. Furthermore, lithium ions being a conductive carrier are added corresponding to B quantity x. Consequently, a lithium-ion conductor that exhibits excellent ion conductive property is realized. By using the lithium-ion conductor for a solid electrolyte, an all-solid lithium-ion secondary battery with high characteristics is realized.

  • Patent number: 7854294
    Abstract: An earmuff assembly with a double-shell structure is disclosed for use with a sound-attenuating circumaural headset. The earmuff assembly comprises a cup-shaped outer shell mounted on a resilient outer sealing ring and a cup-shaped inner shell mounted on a resilient inner sealing ring. By means of the two sealing rings the outer and the inner shells are brought into abutment with the head surface around an ear of a wearer. Both shells are structurally rigid. The sound attenuation performance is maximized by isolating the inner shell from the outer shell.

  • Patent number: 7399108
    Abstract: On the rear surface of a transparent molded unit is provided a reflecting member. In a central part of the molded unit are encapsulated light emitting devices. In the vicinity of the central part of the reflecting member is formed a reflecting area that is angularly inclined to the rear surface as it moves to the outer circumferential direction. A toric channel is provided on a light irradiation surface of the molded unit, and a slope total reflection area is provided in its inner circumferential side. Light emanating from the light emitting devices is reflected at the slope total reflection area, and further reflected at the direct output area. Then, after being further reflected at the reflecting area of the reflecting member, the light is guided to the outer circumferential end of the reflecting member, and is outputted forward from the total reflection area by being reflected at the outer circumferential end of the reflecting member.

  • Patent number: 7300183
    Abstract: On a front wall of a mold resin (13) sealing a light emitter (12), a direct emission region (18), through which the light emitted from the light emitter (12) directly passes to the outside, and a total reflection region (19), by which the light emitted from the light emitter (12) is totally reflected, are formed. The direct emission region (18) is formed into a shape of a convex lens. A light reflection portion (20) which is made of a concave mirror is provided on the rear face of the mold resin (13). When a part of the light emitted from the light emitter (12) passes through the direct emission region (18), it is affected by the lens to be emitted to the front direction. After another part of the light emitted from the light emitter (12) is totally reflected by the total reflection region (19), it is reflected by the light reflection portion (20) to be emitted to the front direction through the total reflection region (19).

  • Patent number: 7244924
    Abstract: This invention improves the use efficiency of light emitted by a solid light emitter such as a light emitting diode, and realizes a desired directional pattern. On a front boundary surface of a mold resin 13 sealing a light emitter 12, there are formed a direct emission region 18 for emitting the light from the light emitter 12 and a total reflection region 19 for totally reflecting the light from the light emitter 12. The direct emission region 18 is convex lens-shaped. A light reflecting portion 20 having a concave mirror shape is disposed on a rear wall of the mold resin 13. A part of light emitted from the light emitter 12 is emitted forward by receiving an optical lens action when it passes through the direct emission region 18. Another part of the light emitted by from the light emitter 12 is totally reflected by the total reflection region 19, and is reflected by the light reflecting portion 20, and emitted forward from the total reflection region 19.
