  • Patent number: 5385479
    Abstract: A modular jack applicable to a flat assembly. A hole is pierced in a flat member and a cover that can be opened and closed is disposed so as to cover an opening of the hole. When a modular plug is inserted into the hole, the cover is opened; when not, the cover is closed. When the cover is closed, it is housed in the opening, and the modular jack equals the flat member substantially in thickness. When the modular plug is inserted into the hole through the opening with the cover open, the insertion direction of the modular plug is regulated by inner walls of the hole. When the tip of the modular plug abuts against a bottom portion of the hole, the modular plug cannot be inserted any more. In the state, an electrode section located in the hole is electrically connected to electrodes of the modular plug. A hook portion disposed in the cover locks the modular plug so as to prevent the modular plug from easily dropping out of the modular jack even if the modular plug is pulled.

  • Patent number: 5358593
    Abstract: In this apparatus, a ceramic green sheet which may be formed with internal electrodes for forming laminated ceramic capacitors, is first punched out by a punch. After this punching operation, the punched-out ceramic green sheet held by the punch is conveyed to a transfer head by the punch and then conveyed to a stacking block by the transfer head. With these steps repeated, a plurality of punched-out ceramic green sheets are stacked on the stacking block. Each time a punched-out ceramic green sheet is stacked on the stacking block, a hot iron is applied to the uppermost one of the punched-out ceramic green sheets so as to pressure-weld it to the underlying punched-out ceramic green sheet.

  • Patent number: 5359494
    Abstract: An opening 11 is formed in a region of a circuit board 10 opposite to a vibration region E of a piezoelectric element 5. The piezoelectric element 5 is mounted on the circuit board 10, and electrode connection portions 9 of the piezoelectric element 5 are connected with and fixed to the circuit board by a solder. In succession, soldered connection portions kept away from the vibration region E of the piezoelectric element 5 are filled with a bonding agent 8. Thereupon, an excess bonding agent 8 with which the soldered connection portions are filled is eliminated by the opening 11, and hence is prevented from invading the vibration region E of the piezoelectric element 5. Further, any stress exerted on the circuit board 10 is dispersed because of its being mostly received by the bonding agent 8, and hence any stress exerted on the piezoelectric element 5 is reduced.

  • Patent number: 5327077
    Abstract: A movement detector device consumes less power and provides a high detection reliability. The teeth on a rotating gear are magnetically detected. There are a number of interconnected magneto-resistors MR1 through MRi connected in series, with the series circuit connected between a power supply line and a ground line. There are output signal pickup points P1 through P7 at the connections between the adjacent magneto-resistors. Signals outputted from these signal pickup points P1 through P7 are shifted in their phases by 1/2period with respect to each other. These signals are paired, and each of the paired signals is fed to a differential amplifier circuit to provide signals E1 through E4 as detection signals. In another embodiments, a linear member has a number of magnetic spots which may be detected in the same manner that the gear teeth are detected.

  • Patent number: 5296707
    Abstract: In order to detect the movement of a heat source over a widened range by using a reduced number of pyroelectric type infrared sensors, a sensor section includes two infrared detecting means X and Y. The area to be observed by the infrared detecting means X is divided into two zones A and B while the area to be observed by the infrared detecting means Y is divided into two single zones a and b. The single zones A and a are overlapped on each other to form an overlap zone (A, a). The movement of the heat source between the single zone B and the single zone b, between the overlap zone (A, a) and the single zone B and between the overlap zone (A, a) and the single zone b is judged to detect the movement of the heat source over the entire area to be observed by the sensor section. In such a manner, two infrared detecting means can cover three zones to be observed.

  • Patent number: 5278746
    Abstract: In a high voltage generator including a flyback transformer having a low-voltage coil and a high-voltage coil, a first switching element is disposed in a current path between a drive power source, the low-voltage coil and ground. The first switching element is turned on and off so as to charge and discharge a resonance capacitor, thereby generating flyback pulses. An output voltage of the high-voltage coil is detected. A peak value of the flyback pulse is controlled based on the detected output voltage so as to stabilize the output voltage of the high-voltage coil. A second switching element is located in the current path between the drive power source, the low-voltage coil and ground. The second switching element is turned on the moment the first switching element is turned off, thereby transferring electrical energy stored in the low-voltage coil to the resonance capacitor.
