Publication number: 20240154344Abstract: A connector includes a housing, two reinforcing brackets that are incorporated in both respective end portions in a longitudinal direction of the housing, and terminals that are arranged on and held by the housing between the two reinforcing brackets. The housing includes an island-shaped portion, a peripheral wall, and an accommodating concave portion that is formed between the peripheral wall and the island-shaped portion so as to accommodate a fitting portion of a mating connector. Each of the reinforcing brackets includes a protection portion, a guide portion, and a spring strip. The spring strip is formed in a cantilever shape, and the spring strip is positioned on an inner side compared to the protection portion in the longitudinal direction of the housing.

Patent number: 11965454Abstract: A thermostat device ensures a coolant amount from a bypass passage sufficiently and excellent temperature sensitivity to the coolant temperature. The thermo-operating unit is provided with a control valve for controlling an introduced coolant amount from a first flow inlet via a radiator, corresponding to the temperature of the coolant from a second flow inlet via a bypass passage. Within the housing are provided multiple guides, which are formed extending from the second flow inlet side toward a thermo-element, are arranged intermittently around the thermo-element, and support the thermo-element slidably movable in an axial direction and coolant rectifying protrusions arranged spaced apart from the thermo-element between the guides, wherein a detoured passage for the coolant, directed from the second flow inlet side toward an outflow port, is formed by forming gaps between the guides and the coolant rectifying protrusions.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya Nishimura, Tatsuya Takahata, Shinji Watanabe, Keita Watanabe, Takayuki Tominaga

Publication number: 20220381708Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for determining the structure of a target substance contained in a multicomponent sample. The present invention provides a method of determining the structure of a target substance contained in a mixture of two or more substances, wherein the method includes the steps of: isolating the target substance from the mixture by means of supercritical fluid chromatography, soaking the isolated target substance into a crystalline sponge to produce a sample for crystallography, and performing a crystallographic analysis on the sample for crystallography. A volatile solvent can be used as a mobile phase in the supercritical fluid chromatography.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2020Publication date: December 1, 2022Applicant: KIRIN HOLDINGS KABUSHIK KAISHAInventors: Yoshimasa TANIGUCHI, Mayuka MIWA, Naoya KITADA, Hotaka SANDA, Takayuki NISHIMURA, Eriko TAKESHI
