  • Patent number: 11489170
    Abstract: A fuel cell separator includes a separator main body having a first surface and a second surface, and a first seal member disposed on the first surface. When a region on the first surface of the separator main body corresponding to an electrode member disposed on the second surface is defined as a power generation region, and a region on the first surface of the separator main body corresponding to an in-cell seal member is defined as a seal region, a displacement/vibration reducing member made of polymer is disposed at a part of the seal region. The displacement/vibration reducing member includes multiple protrusions and a coupling portion. When viewed in plan view, an axis line connecting the centers of the figures of the adjacent protrusions does not coincide with a center line passing through the widthwise center of the coupling portion. The coupling portion has a gate cut mark.

  • Patent number: 6254365
    Abstract: A compressor capable of reducing the number of components and simplifying a step of forming a connection hole is obtained. In this compressor, a connection hole of a casing is formed substantially flush with the outer surface of the casing without projecting from the outer surface of the casing. Thus, the connection hole is formed by only perforation with no requirement for burring or the like, whereby the step of forming the connection hole is simplified. In this compressor, a refrigerant flow pipe of an accumulator is inserted into a refrigerant suction port. Thus, no pump liner (connection pipe) is required for connecting the refrigerant flow pipe and the refrigerant suction port, and the number of components is reduced.

  • Patent number: 4642523
    Abstract: A coaxial probe extends into a microwave cavity through a tube. One end of the tube is retained in a spherical joint attached in the cavity wall. This allows the coaxial probe to be pivotally rotated. The coaxial probe is slideable within the tube thus allowing the probe to be extended toward or retracted from the center of the cavity.A tunable wall in the cavity is precisely positioned by a plurality of threaded rods extending through threaded bushings which are geared together. Thus, rotation of one of the bushings causes rotation of the other bushings simultaneously whereby the tuning wall is accurately positioned. Means are provided for moving the tube through which the coaxial probe extends in both a side to side and back and forth motion.
