  • Patent number: 11800671
    Abstract: A motor drive device includes a case including a first surface and a housing portion that opens to the first surface side, a terminal block including a terminal to which an electric wire extending to an outside of the case is connectable and being housed in the housing portion, an openable and closable cover covering the opening, and a lock unit restricting opening and closing of the cover and bringing the cover into a locked state in a state where the cover is closed. The lock unit is provided on the cover to be rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the first surface in a state where the cover is closed. An unlocked state in which the cover is openable and the locked state are switched according to rotation angle of the lock unit. The lock unit includes a state indicator indicating that the cover is in the locked state.

  • Patent number: 9915482
    Abstract: A heat sink including a base section, connection fins, and parallel fins. The base section includes: a first base plate configured to be mounted with a heat generating component on its outer surface; a second base plate disposed to face the first base plate in a parallel manner, configured to be mounted with a heat generating component on its outer surface; and a third base plate disposed perpendicular to the first base plate and the second base plate, which secures the first base plate and the second base plate along a junction line. The base section includes first and second regions arranged in the direction of the junction line. The connection fins are disposed on the first region to connect inner surfaces of the first and second base plates and to be parallel to the third base plate, and the parallel fins are disposed on the second region from an inner surface of the third base plate to be parallel to the first base plate.

  • Patent number: 8658057
    Abstract: A liquid crystal polyester resin composition for camera modules is used, the composition including, based on 100 parts by mass of the composition as a whole, (A) 49.5 to 69.5 parts by mass of a liquid crystal polyester, (B) 30.0 to 50.0 parts by mass of an irregular form or spherical powder having a Mohs hardness of 5 or higher and a primary particle diameter of 5 ?m or less, and (C) 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass of carbon black. The use of the resin composition allows a reduction in the amount of dust generated (particles falling off) during the production of the camera, the use of the camera, and the operation of the camera modules. The resin composition has high surface hardness, is excellent in balance between heat resistance, stiffness, moldability, and resistance to falling of particles off a surface, and causes no malfunction during autofocus control.
