Patent number: 7046198Abstract: The present invention provides an antenna in which, on a dielectric substrate 1 having a back face on which a grounding conductor plate 14 is disposed, a plurality of conductor elements 12 are arranged in a matrix of rows and columns. Each of the dielectric elements 12 has a size which cannot function as an antenna. Above the conductor elements 12, a connecting element 13 overlapping two adjacent conductor elements 12 is disposed. Among the connecting elements 13, some cause the conductor elements 12 on both sides to be in a conductive condition, and others cause the conductor elements 12 on both sides to be in a non-conductive condition. The switching between the conductive and non-conductive conditions between the conductor elements 12 can be dynamically performed by a switching element.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2002Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Sakiyama, Yasunao Okazaki, Michio Okajima

Publication number: 20040140787Abstract: A robot arm is provided with an end effecter for grasping an object and a force sensor for detecting a force acted upon the end effecter. In the state in which end effecter grasps an object, when there is a change in the force acting on the end effecter detected by the force sensor, outputted is a signal for releasing the force of the end effecter grasping the object. The object grasped by the end effecter can be taken out as if the object were handed from person over to person.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: July 22, 2004Inventors: Shusasku Okamoto, Masamichi Nakagawa, Yasunao Okazaki, Takashi Anezaki, Tamao Okamoto

Patent number: 6741142Abstract: A high-frequency circuit element including a substrate, a high-frequency circuit formed on the substrate, a metal box electromagnetically shielding the high-frequency circuit by enclosing the substrate and an input/output terminal placed on the metal box and inputting/outputting a high-frequency signal to/from the high-frequency circuit. Adding at least one plate for interrupting unwanted higher-order mode cutting off the propagation path of the high frequency waves in the space inside the metal box by substantially dividing the space inside the metal box makes it possible to cut off the propagation path where the high frequency waves propagates in the space inside the box and to suppress excitation and propagation of the unwanted higher-order mode that adversely affects the frequency characteristic of the high frequency circuit element.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2000Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasunao Okazaki, Akira Enokihara, Kentaro Setsune
