Patent number: 6480010Abstract: A piezoelectric ceramic device is heated so that the temperature is increased to a temperature in the vicinity of the maximum temperature at which the device, when the temperature is returned to ordinary temperature, is returned to substantially the same piezoelectric characteristic before heating. In the state that the piezoelectric ceramic device is heated, and the temperature is increased, at least one of the piezoelectric phase characteristic and the impedance characteristic of the piezoelectric ceramic device is measured. The measurement is compared with a standard characteristic, whereby an internal defect of the piezoelectric ceramic device is detected, based on results of the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2000Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masato Ikuta, Toshinari Tabata, Masao Nishimura

Patent number: 4537245Abstract: A portion of an air-conditioning unit is divided into two so as to provide first and second air-mixing chambers each following first and second temperature adjustment mechanisms. The temperature of air in the first chamber is controlled independently of the temperature of air in the second chamber, while the first chamber communicates with a first group of air-conditioning zone or zones and the second chamber communicates with a second group of remaining zone or zones. Thus, the temperature of air fed to the first group can be controlled in a manner different from the temperature of air fed to the second group. A plurality of distributing valves are provided at air discharging outlets communicating with the first or second chambers, and the opening degree of each damper may be controlled so that air distribution amount may be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1982Date of Patent: August 27, 1985Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masao Nishimura, Masami Mori, Akirou Yoshimi
