  • Publication number: 20240085252
    Abstract: [Problem] To Provide a fabric-like sensor in which an output signal can be improved when in use and damage or fracture of a sensor element hardly occurs, and a fabric-like sensor device using it. Solution In a fabric-like sensor S having a fabric base material 1 and a line-shaped sensor element 2, at least one line-shaped cavity portion 11 is provided inside the fabric base material 1, and at least a part of the cavity portion 11 is composed of a raw fabric at least a part of the cavity portion has no elasticity in a line direction of the cavity portion 11, and further the line-shaped sensor element 2 is arranged in a state of not being substantially constrained or fixed in at least one of cavity portions in a fabric 1.

  • Patent number: 7194745
    Abstract: An optical disk clamper holding mechanism that holds an optical disk clamper includes a surrounding unit, a flange unit, a rib that touches, when the optical disk clamper moves in the direction of the flange opening, a rim portion of an upper flange unit of the optical disk clamper, the rib protruding inwardly at a position opposite to the flange opening. Since the range of clearance in which the optical disk clamper can move in the optical disk clamper holding mechanism is restricted, the optical disk clamper always fits in the turntable normally and consequently, always clamps the optical disk normally.

  • Patent number: 6512671
    Abstract: A peripheral apparatus comprises lower and upper resin casings made from resin by an injection molding and engaged to each other so as to upwardly and downwardly cover an electrical unit. The lower resin casing is provided with a primary dent portion/a primary projecting portion formed at a primary location in the depth direction of the peripheral apparatus. The primary dent potion/the primary projecting portion dents/projects into/from a primary parting-line of the lower resin casing for the injection molding. The upper resin casing is provided with a secondary projecting portion/a secondary dent potion formed at a secondary location corresponding to the primary location. The secondary projecting portion/the secondary dent portion projects/dents from/into a secondary parting-line of the upper resin casing for the injection molding.

  • Publication number: 20020147036
    Abstract: A mobile phone auxiliary charging connector charges an internal battery in a mobile phone by connecting DC power from a USB port of a portable or desktop personal computer to the charging connector of the mobile phone. The cable of the mobile phone auxiliary charging connector connects the ground and 5-volt terminals of a plug inserted into the USB port to corresponding pins of a mobile phone connector plug.

  • Patent number: 5525028
    Abstract: On the lower surface of a cylinder stay at its fore end portion, a stopper plate is pivotally attached as a safety device for front working equipment by a pin. A rear end portion of the stopper plate is supported to an upper boom to be swung in union with the upper boom. The stopper plate has an outer peripheral configuration having a first curved region which functions as a first stopper, and a second linear region which functions as a second stopper. When a swing angle of the upper boom is within a risky range of possible interference between the bucket and the cab upon the arm being maximally folded, an inner belly portion of the arm strikes against the first region before the occurrence of such interference, whereby further folding of the arm is mechanically limited.

  • Patent number: 5490730
    Abstract: The improved slide bearing assembly comprises at least a shaft and a bush that is formed of a porous iron-base sintered material and is characterized in that the bush is impregnated with a lubricant oil having a viscosity of 240-1500 cSt. The bearing assembly can be operated in slow- and high-pressure applications without oil refillings for a prolonged period of at least several years. The shaft is preferably formed of an iron or a steel member that have been subjected to a treatment of surface modification. The slide bearing assembly is preferably used in such an environment that the working pressure applied to the sliding surfaces is at least 6.0 kgf/mm.sup.2 and that the sliding speed is in the range 2-5 cm/sec.
