  • Patent number: 11953830
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a photosensitive resin composition which exhibits good imidization rate even in cases where the photosensitive resin composition is fired at a temperature of 200° C. or less, while having high pattern processability, and a cured film of which exhibits high long-term reliability if used in an organic EL display device. In order to solve the above-described problem, a photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention contains (a) a polyimide precursor, (b) a phenolic compound having an electron-withdrawing group and (c) a photosensitive compound; and the polyimide precursor (a) has a residue which is derived from a diamine that has an ionization potential of less than 7.1 eV.

  • Publication number: 20240075990
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle undercover having well-balanced rigidity. A vehicle undercover 10 is provided with: a plate-shaped body 12 made of a porous material such as a fiber body or a foam; and a support body 14 supporting the plate-shaped body 12. The support body 14 has a groove-shaped first frame part 20 having a horizontal plate 20a and vertical plates 20b and 20b extending from both edges of the horizontal plate 20a. Further, the support body 14 has a second frame part 22 provided across the first frame part 20 and having a smaller dimension of protrusion toward the inside of a vehicle than the first frame part 20.

  • Patent number: 11918372
    Abstract: A cognitive function evaluation device includes: an obtainment unit that obtains utterance data indicating a voice of an evaluatee uttering a sentence as instructed; a calculation unit that calculates, from the utterance data obtained by the obtainment unit, a feature based on the utterance data; an evaluation unit that compares the feature calculated by the calculation unit to reference data indicating a relationship between voice data indicating a voice of a person and a cognitive function of the person to evaluate the cognitive function of the evaluatee; and an output unit that outputs the sentence to be uttered by the evaluatee and outputs a result of evaluation by the evaluation unit.

  • Patent number: 8929100
    Abstract: In an electrical power converter, an input circuit performs switching for converting a supply voltage of a power source to alternating-polarity voltage pulses which are applied to the primary winding of a transformer. Each voltage pulse is controlled (e.g., pulse width or amplitude is adjusted) based on a detected value of current flow in the primary winding, where the value has been detected an even-numbered plurality of voltage pulses previously. Any DC component of current flow in the primary winding, caused by manufacturing deviations between switching elements in the input circuit, can thereby be suppressed, and DC flux bias in the transformer thereby suppressed.

  • Patent number: 5623203
    Abstract: A flaw sensor for a metal pipe has an exciting coil for generating remote field eddy currents in the pipe. First and second groups of receiving coils are spaced from the exciting coil by respective distances along the axis of the pipe in a region of the generated remote field eddy currents. The first and second groups have respective pluralities of receiving coils with axes perpendicular to the pipe axis and disposed circumferentially about the pipe axis at predetermined angular increments wherein the receiving coils of the second group are staggered relative to the receiving coils of the first group. A third receiving coil is disposed coaxially with the pipe at still another distance from the exciting coil along the pipe axis but also in the region of the generated remote field eddy currents.

  • Patent number: 5523680
    Abstract: A wheel speed sensor having a simple construction outputs a signal used for measuring the rotational speed of a wheel without noise due to displacement of rotating members. A housing is provided on a carrier member of a suspension mechanism, the carrier member carrying a bearing rotatably supporting a wheel shaft of the wheel. At least one fixed tooth is protrusively formed on an inner surface of the housing. An annular coil is arranged inside the housing. A rotatable yoke member is accommodated in the housing and is rotatable together with the wheel shaft. The rotatable yoke member comprises a shaft inserted into a center hole of the annular coil and an extending member extending in a radial direction. The shaft extends through the center hole of the annular coil so that a first gap is formed between an end of the shaft and a wall of the housing. At least one rotatable tooth is formed on an outer periphery of the extending member so that a second gap is formed between the rotatable tooth and the fixed tooth.
