  • Patent number: 9935456
    Abstract: A wireless power transmission device includes: a wireless power transmission unit, a power transmission circuit, a wireless communication unit, an interruption circuit, a communication circuit, and a control circuit. The power transmission circuit is connected to the wireless power transmission unit and wirelessly transmits power through the wireless power transmission unit to another party's device. The interruption circuit is connected to the wireless communication unit. The communication circuit is connected through the interruption circuit to the wireless communication unit and communicates with the other party's device via the wireless communication unit. The control circuit is connected to the power transmission circuit and the interruption circuit and, when the power is transmitted, controls the interruption circuit to interrupt between the wireless communication unit and the communication circuit on the basis of a power level transmitted by the power transmission circuit.

  • Patent number: 5361053
    Abstract: In a super magnetostriction type actuator constructed such that a super magnetostriction rod is extended/contracted by application of a magnetic field from a solenoid coil, and a drive object is moved in response to the extension/contraction, a locating member for locating the super magnetostriction rod thermally deforms in correspondence with a thermal expansion of the super magnetostriction rod so as to permit an extension of the super magnetostriction rod due to the thermal expansion thereof. As a result, variation in spring loading and lift with thermal expansion of the super magnetostriction rod can be avoided. Also, the magnetostriction characteristic of the locating member is opposite that of the super magnetostriction rod allowing for greater relative movement of the super magnetostriction rod upon application of a magnetic field.
