Patent number: 11924599Abstract: A headset includes: a housing provided at one end portion of a headband; a boom main body attached to the housing; and an ear pad attached to the housing on a side opposite to the boom main body. The ear pad includes a cup portion configured to cover an entire auricle of a wearer when the entire auricle is inserted into an inner diameter portion of the cup portion. In the cup portion, a plurality of through holes allowing the inner diameter portion to be open to an outside are formed closer to the housing than a cup opening of the inner diameter portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Kuraoka, Reo Takiguchi, Hirotaka Fukutsuka

Patent number: 11060452Abstract: A turbocharger including a compressor housing, a flange, an air bypass valve and a seal. The compressor housing has an impeller housing, an upstream passage positioned upstream of the impeller housing and a downstream passage positioned downstream of the impeller housing. The flange is coupled to the compressor housing and has a bypass passage connected to the downstream passage of the compressor housing and the upstream passage of the compressor housing. A groove is formed at a surface of the flange opposing the compressor housing and the seal is fitted into the groove. Therefore, a tight seal of the flange and the compressor housing can be ensured by the seal. Further, the air bypass valve is coupled only to the flange. Therefore, a tight seal of the turbocharger can be ensured easier than in a case where the air bypass valve is coupled over the flange and the compressor housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: KOJIMA INDUSTRIES CORPORATIONInventors: Takuya Nakagawa, Shinji Kuraoka

Patent number: 7583227Abstract: An antenna substrate (13) and a waveguide substrate (11) are housed in a main unit case (3). The waveguide substrate (11) is fixed to an attachment part (9) in the main unit case (3). The antenna substrate (13) is disposed adjacent to the waveguide substrate (11) in a standing position on the attachment part (9). The waveguide substrate (11) has an insert (33) on an edge (31) thereof. The antenna substrate (13) has a slit (37) aligned with the edge (31) of the waveguide substrate (11). The insert (33) is inserted into the slit (37), thereby restricting the movement of the antenna substrate (13). The antenna substrate (13) and the waveguide substrate (11) can be coupled to each other without using a metal plate bracket and integrally assembled to the main unit case (3). Therefore, the antenna performance is improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2005Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shinji Kuraoka, Yasuhito Omori
