Shoichi Konishi 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).

  • Sensor device with coated electric wire shielding
    Patent number: 7145348
    Abstract: A coated electric wire is wound around a detection circuit in a planar manner for the purpose of electrostatic shield. This winding is performed, for example, spirally in a single layer. In the case where there are further provided a detection circuit board including a detection circuit and a cylindrical case, the coated electric wire is wound around the detection circuit board in a planar manner, wherein the direction of the axis of the cylindrical surface accords with the direction of the axis of the case. Consequently, there can be provided a sensor device in which the detection circuit can be electrostatically shielded with ease.

  • Photoelectric sensor and detector terminal module therefor
    Patent number: 6987260
    Abstract: A module from which photoelectric sensors of different types with different functions can be constructed is integrally formed with an optical assembly and a detection circuit assembly. The optical includes a lens and its holder and the detection circuit assembly and includes an integrated circuit and terminals connected to it. The integrated circuits include different circuits with various functions such as a detection circuit for detecting presence or absence of a target object of detection. The terminals include input and output terminals for passing signals to and from selected ones of these circuits depending on the desired functions of the photoelectric sensor to be formed by using the module.
