Patents by Inventor Naotoshi Takaoka

Naotoshi Takaoka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 4879509
    Abstract: This invention relates to a voltage sensor for sensing a voltage on an electrically charged object such as a distribution line or the like, the sensor being disposed with an insulation space to the object. The voltage sensor includes an amplifier circuit for outputting a signal having a waveform similar to that of a displacement current inflowing from the electrically charged object via the insulation space, and a filter circuit for extracting a signal having predetermined frequencies from the output of the amplifier circuit and outputting an alternating current waveform similar to the potential of the electrically charged object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 1988
    Date of Patent: November 7, 1989
    Assignee: Energy Support Corporation
    Inventors: Taro Sometani, Naotoshi Takaoka, Mitsuo Aida, Mitsuharu Kudomi, Yasuhiro Tanahashi, Katsunori Aoki

  • Patent number: 4559530
    Abstract: An overcurrent condition display suspended directly from a distribution cable for displaying overcurrent conditions in the cable and for promptly locating spots of accidents due to overcurrent conditions comprises a current sensor section having a current transformer, a drive section provided with a drive element adapted to be driven by the sensed overcurrent and with a force storage member adapted to be actuated by the drive element and to act as a restoring member as well for the drive element, a drive-transmission section actuated by the force storage member and a display section having a display tube with a transparent bottom, a viscous fluid stored in the tube and a display element connected to the drive-transmission section for vertical motion through the fluid. The overcurrent condition is displayed when the display element is hoisted by the drive-transmission section.
