  • Publication number: 20130241686
    Abstract: A reactor includes a coil and a core unit having partial cores butted against one another to form a closed magnetic path. The partial cores include a first partial core forming and a second partial core. The first partial core is inserted in the hollow of the coil. A pressed face of the first partial core is oriented orthogonal to the winding axis direction of the coil. The second partial core is butted against the first partial core. A pressed face of the second partial core is oriented orthogonal to a direction different from the winding axis direction. The pressed face of the second partial core is a substantially flat plane.

  • Publication number: 20120318732
    Abstract: The invention provides a sintered ethylene polymer filter that is free from molding unevenness or defects and has ultrafine and uniform filter pore diameters. An ethylene polymer composition including an ethylene polymer with a specific shape and specific properties and an antistatic agent with a specific form is used as a material for a sintered filter. According to such a composition, the ethylene polymer particles achieve enhanced fluidity when being placed into a sintering mold. Thus, the composition gives a sintered filter that has an ultrafine pore diameter and a narrow pore diameter distribution and is free from molding unevenness or defects.

  • Publication number: 20110237963
    Abstract: An electronic sphygmomanometer determines whether a position of a measurement site falls within a proper range, and notifies whether the position of the measurement site falls within the proper range. When determination is made that a time in which the position of the measurement site falls within the proper range is not less than a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), measurement of a blood pressure is automatically started. When determination is made that a time in which the position of the measurement site is out of the proper range is not less than a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), the measurement of the blood pressure is started. Further, whether the position of the measurement site falls within the proper range is notified while correlated with the measurement result.

  • Patent number: 7961070
    Abstract: An inductor has a case having an opening, a core accommodated in the case, a coil wound on a part of the core and a fixing member fixed to the case. The fixing member fixes the core by contacting a top surface of the core facing the opening and elastically biasing the core toward a bottom surface of the case. The fixing member further includes a first plate portion and a first contacting portion. The first plate portion is disposed between the top surface of the core and the opening of the case and extending in parallel with the top surface of the core. The first contacting portion extends from a fore-end portion of the first plate portion so as to be U-shaped and having a distal end portion elastically push-contacting the top surface of the core.

  • Patent number: 6870442
    Abstract: The invention aims to provide a high-frequency device enable to protect circuits connected to an antenna terminal from possible intruding static electricity or high voltage noises. Diplexer 11 connected to antenna terminal 10 carries out demultiplexing or multiplexing frequency for GSM or DCS band. Circuits to process frequency for GSM and DCS band have switches 13 and 14 respectively for switching to transmit or to receive signals for diplexer 11. Switch 13 and 14 are connected to low pass filters 15 and 16 respectively to clear off higher harmonics in transmitting signals, and are connected to SAW filters 17 and 18 having respective specific pass bands. Filters 15, 16, 17 and 18 are connected to terminals 19, 20, 21 and 22 respectively. Moreover, a first end of varistor 23 is connected between antenna terminal 10 and diplexer 11 and a second end of varistor 23 is connected to ground terminal 24.

  • Publication number: 20030002589
    Abstract: To eliminates the need for synchronization of operating clocks with each other in serial communications between the semiconductor integrated circuit at the transmitting and receiving sides. In the reloading control unit of the circuit at the transmitting side, a second reloading register is set in a timer after setting a first reloading register when DATA=0, while when DATA=1, the first reloading register is set in the timer after setting the second reloading register. Accordingly, waveforms having different duty ratios are outputted. In the data converting circuit of the circuit at the receiving side, the waveforms are converted into “0”, “1” based on the ratio of the H,L level periods of each waveform to supply them to a serial I/O.
