Patent number: 5385479Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1993Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignee: Murata Mfg.

Patent number: 5359494Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1993Date of Patent: October 25, 1994Assignee: Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ryoichi Morimoto

Patent number: 5296707Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1992Date of Patent: March 22, 1994Assignee: Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shinya Nozu
