Publication number: 20240068881Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion device that includes an element body including a plurality of stacked; and a meandering wire inside the element body and that has a stacked structure. The meandering wire includes a thermoelectric material that has an anomalous Nernst effect, and a thermal conductivity of the plurality of stacked substrates is lower than that of the thermoelectric material. A thermoelectric conversion device that includes a winding core; and a winding wire wound around the winding core. The winding wire consists only of a thermoelectric material that has an anomalous Nernst effect. A thermoelectric conversion device that includes a plurality of substrates and meandering wires on main surfaces of the respective substrates. The meandering wires include a thermoelectric material that has an anomalous Nernst effect, and the substrates adjacent to each other are arranged at an angle that is larger than 0 degrees and smaller than 180 degrees.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Eiichi MAEDA, Masashi HATTORI, Mitsuru ODAHARA, Toru TAKAHASHI, Kojiro KOMAGAKI, Takahiro TAGUCHI

Patent number: 11526245Abstract: A touch panel equipment for air conditioning has a plurality of electrodes arranged in two-dimensional matrix, a touch sensing IC for scanning capacitance of the electrodes, and a touch panel controller for deciding a touch position from the capacitance sensed by said touch sensing IC. The touch panel controller resets the touch sensing IC when the capacitance of the electrodes located in a check area is not changed during predetermined threshold timings, and does not reset the touch sensing IC when the capacitance of the electrodes located in the check area is changed within the threshold timings. As the touch panel controller resets the touch sensing IC due to the change of the capacitance value of the electrodes located in the check area, the resetting operation is operated automatically so that the touch panel equipment could avoid the user's external work.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: DENSO WAVE INCORPORATEDInventors: Shunya Aoki, Yuya Morita, Toru Hattori

Patent number: 5836080Abstract: A positioning table includes a table member having a load plane, a supporting device for movably supporting the table member within a plane parallel to the load plane and, first, second, and third slide blocks located around the table member in a freely movable fashion toward and away from the table member. The first and second slide blocks move in directions parallel to each other, and the third slide block moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving directions of the first and second slide blocks. First, second, and third rollers project from a peripheral edge of the table member and are rotatable about axes perpendicular to the load plane.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1996Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Noriyuki Inagaki, Toru Hattori
