  • Patent number: 9425332
    Abstract: A photosensor includes a sensor module in which emitter and receiver leads protrude from a circuit-encapsulating portion in a direction intersecting with a direction in which an external connecting terminal extends. The photosensor includes a light emitter, a light receiver, a circuit-encapsulating portion, a connecting terminal, first and second emitter leads, and first and second receiver leads. When the connecting terminal extends in a first direction, and a first plane is parallel to the first direction, the first and second emitter leads protrude from the circuit-encapsulating portion in a direction parallel to the first plane and intersecting with the first direction, and extend opposite to the first direction. The first and second receiver leads protrude from the circuit-encapsulating portion in the direction parallel to the first plane and intersecting with the first direction and opposite to a direction in which the first and second emitter leads protrude, and extend opposite to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9251973
    Abstract: A switch includes a switch main body having a movable section displaceable downward by pressure to bring a movable contact into contact with a fixed contact, the movable section being displaced upward to open each contact by a release of pressure; a button section that presses the movable section in response to a downward pressing operation; and a support arm having one end portion supporting the button section. An end of the support arm not coupled to the button section is turnable and held at a location in a support surface arranged vertically. The button section bottom surface is inclined and separated from the movable section when the button section is not pressed. When the button section is pressed and is lowered to a position at which the fixed contact and the movable contact are closed, the bottom surface is in an approximately horizontal state and presses the movable section.

  • Publication number: 20140103198
    Abstract: A sensor device has a display part that displays a numerical value and a character on a casing and at least three switches. The switches have an up switch and a down switch. The up switch has a function of changing the numerical value to increase and also the down switch has a function of changing the numerical value to decrease. Each switch has a different function and each switch has a different symbol.

  • Patent number: 8575636
    Abstract: A first light-blocking member and a second light-blocking member are adhered to each other by forming a light-transmitting layer having a light-transmitting composition serving as a base material and a light-transmitting filler different in index of refraction from this light-transmitting composition on a front surface of the first light-blocking member. A liquid light curing adhesive is applied to a front surface of the light-transmitting layer. The second light-blocking member is arranged on the front surface of the light-transmitting layer to which the liquid light curing adhesive has been applied. The liquid light curing adhesive is cured by irradiating the light-transmitting layer with light having a prescribed wavelength laterally from a side of the light-transmitting layer so as to adhere the light-transmitting layer and the second light-blocking member to each other.

  • Patent number: 8541061
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anticorrosion coating method for a galvanized steel structure, the method comprising applying an undercoating composition (I) to a cured thickness of 10 to 200 ?m to a surface of a galvanized steel structure, and then applying thereto an overcoating composition (II) to a cured thickness of 100 to 1,500 ?m; the undercoating composition (I) comprising an epoxy resin (A) having two or more epoxy groups per molecule, a specific amount of a resin (B) such as a urethane-modified epoxy resin, and an amine-based curing agent (C); the undercoating composition (I) having a shrinkage stress of 20 kg/cm2 or less when it is in the form of a 50 ?m-thick cured coating film; and the overcoating composition (II) comprising an epoxy resin (D) having two or more epoxy groups per molecule, a specific amount of a flaky pigment (E), and an amine-based curing agent (F).

  • Patent number: 5845262
    Abstract: A system for mainly transferring various information of a newspaper, a magazine, an advertisement, and the like by dot data is provided. Data information provided from a newspaper company, publishing companies, and the like is converted into electronic press information via an electronic press producer 20. The electronic press information is dispatched from a center to an information vending machine through a satellite line or a terrestrial line. Dispatched press data is once accumulated to a recording unit in the information vending machine. When it is identified that an information fee has been paid by cash or a prepaid card, desired data in the information accumulated in the recording unit is written into a recording medium such as an IC card or the like of a consumer.
