  • Patent number: 11782235
    Abstract: A lens driving device, a camera module and a camera-mounted device that can improve the stability the moving operation of AF movable part are provided. A lens driving device includes a base; a lens holder disposed apart from the base in a light axis direction, and configured to hold a lens part; and an autofocus driving part including an auto-focusing coil and an auto-focusing magnet, and configured to move the lens holder in the light axis direction with respect to the base. The auto-focusing coil is disposed at the lens holder. The auto-focusing magnet is disposed at the base. The base includes a magnet holding part provided to protrude to a light reception side in the light axis direction, the magnet holding part being configured to hold the auto-focusing magnet while positioning the auto-focusing magnet. A damper is disposed between the magnet holding part and the lens holder.

  • Patent number: 7515436
    Abstract: In a communication unit 100, a ground layer section 101 which is a sheet-like conductive material and a power-source layer section 102 which is a sheet-like conductive material are laid out in such a way that their one sides face each other, a voltage is applied in such a way that the power-source layer section 102 has a predetermined reference electric potential to the ground layer section 101, a plurality of conductive layer sections 103 which are sheet-like conductive materials are laid out between the ground layer section 101 and the power-source layer section 102, each conductive layer section 103 and the power-source layer section 102 are coupled together by a pull resistor section 104, a transmission communication element transmits a signal by changing the electric potential of the conductive layer section 103 connected to that communication element with respect to the ground layer section 101, and a reception communication element receives the signal by directly or indirectly detecting a change in ele

  • Patent number: 7308750
    Abstract: In a rolling process, the level of rolling performed by a rolling mill for one operation is set to 1 ?m to 20 ?m. A magnesium substrate is rolled by rollers while being heated by a thermostatic chamber. As a result, there is manufactured a high-quality magnesium sheet which is less susceptible to influence of oxidation, which realizes a high internal loss, prevention of a drop in sensitivity, and low distortion, and which has a thickness of 30 ?m to 100 ?m. Further, as a result of the magnesium sheet being formed into a semi-dome shape or a dome shape, the sheet can be inexpensively manufactured as a speaker for high-tone playback. In particular, in the case of a magnesium diaphragm into which a dome section and an edge section are integrally formed, high-quality sound can be played back in a high frequency range without involvement of a drop in sensitivity.

  • Publication number: 20050257999
    Abstract: In the rolling process, a rolling amount at each time of rolling by a rolling machine is set to 1 ?m to 20 ?m, and a magnesium substrate is heated by a constant temperature oven and rolled by rollers. Thus, a magnesium sheet of 30 ?m to 100 ?m is produced. This magnesium sheet is used to form a bobbin and a diaphragm integrally molded with each other, and the diaphragm is molded into a semi-dome shape or a dome shape. Thus, a bobbin integrated type magnesium diaphragm having the semi-dome shaped diaphragm or the dome shaped diagram is manufactured. The bobbin integrated type magnesium diaphragm is applied to a dynamic speaker device. As a result, the high-quality dynamic speaker device, which realizes high rigidity, high sensibility, high internal loss, less distortion and the like, is obtained.
