  • Patent number: 6549101
    Abstract: A plurality of resonators 50 are formed in a dielectric porcelain block 42, wherein each of the resonators 50 is formed by coating an interior surface of a through section with an interior conductor 54, thus constituting a dielectric filter 41. On a side surface 44 of the dielectric block 42 perpendicular to an open end face 43 having the through sections formed therein, there are formed protrusions 45 having a height L lower than that of the through sections. Terminal electrodes 60a and 60b are defined with the protrusions 45 taken as a boundary between the terminal electrodes 60a and 60b, and isolated from an exterior conductor 62.

  • Publication number: 20030020566
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a dielectric device that comprises a dielectric substrate and at least one resonator unit. An external conductor film covers most of the outer surface of the dielectric substrate, except one end surface. The resonator unit comprises a first hole and a second hole. The first hole is provided in the dielectric substrate, extending from the end surface to an opposite surface, being open at the end surface and the opposite surface, and having a first internal conductor inside thereof. The second hole is provided in the dielectric substrate at a distance from the first hole, extends from the end surface toward the opposite surface, being open at the end surface, closed at a bottom, and having a second internal conductor inside thereof. The second internal conductor is connected to the first internal conductor at the end surface.

  • Patent number: 5515022
    Abstract: A multilayer inductor 1 is fabricated, for example, by sandwiching a first magnetic material sheet (21) between a second magnetic material sheet (22) and a third magnetic material sheet (23) and integrating the three layers. The first magnetic material sheet (21) is preferably at least 0.2 mm thick and has a first spiral conductor pattern (31) having an extreme lead-out portion (310) formed on its upper major surface. The first sheet (21) is provided with a through-hole (4) extending between the opposed major surfaces and having a larger diameter on the conductor pattern bearing surface. The through-hole (4) is filled with a conductor (35) contiguous to the first conductor pattern (31). The second magnetic material sheet (22) has a second spiral conductor pattern (32) having an extreme lead-out portion (320) formed on its upper major surface and connected to the conductor (35) in the through-hole (4).

  • Patent number: 5362619
    Abstract: A method for preparing a silver halide photographic emulsion containing silver halide grains , each of which has two or more phases different in the silver halide composition, comprising a step of growing silver halide grains, in which said silver halide grains are grown by supplying a solution of water-soluble silver salt and a solution of water-soluble halide, wherein fine grains of silver halide having a solubility product smaller than that of silver halide grains present in the course of growing silver halide grains are made present in the silver halide emulsion at a time during the grain-growth, iridium ions being individually added at a time when or after starting the grain-growth.
