  • Patent number: 10739132
    Abstract: A flatness detection method is provided for detecting component tilt regardless of measurement conditions. The flatness detection method is based on data of an electronic component captured by a 3D camera and is realized by acquiring position information and height information of a plurality of reference points of the electronic component, creating a virtual plane based on the position and the height information of at least three of the plurality of reference points, determining, based on the height information that takes, as a reference, the virtual plane of the reference points excluding selected points from the reference points, whether the virtual plane is a valid plane or an invalid plane, and detecting flatness of the component by taking the valid plane as a reference.

  • Patent number: 10504642
    Abstract: A filter component assembly kit includes a bobbin that is configured with first and second members and a core that is in a quadrangular frame shape. When the first member is assembled with the second member, a through hole is formed in the bobbin. The through hole extends in a first direction. The core is configured with first and second extension bars. The first and second extension bars extend in parallel in the first direction. When the first extension bar is disposed in the through hole of the bobbin, rotation of the core around the first extension bar is prevented. First allowance of the first extension bar in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, in the through hole is larger than second allowance of the first extension bar in a third direction, which is perpendicular to the first and second directions, in the through hole.

  • Patent number: 10447281
    Abstract: A phase adjusting circuit is provided that can highly precisely adjust frequencies throughout the entire frequency range to be dealt with. A PLL circuit includes: a reference-signal input terminal from which a reference signal is input; a feedback-signal input terminal from which a feedback signal is input; and an output terminal from which an output signal based on a phase difference between the reference signal and the feedback signal is output. A filter circuit is connected to the reference-signal input terminal and the output terminal, and causes a phase of the reference signal to be delayed when the oscillation frequency of an inverter circuit including the PLL circuit falls in a high range. A delay circuit is connected to the output terminal, and causes the output signal to be delayed when the oscillation frequency of the inverter circuit falls in a low range lower than the high range.
