Patent number: 8493121Abstract: A device (300, 1000) provides a dual-edge triggered flip-flop (DETFF) that is reconfigurable to a master-slave flip-flop (MSFF). The device includes a reconfigurable MUX-D flip-flop including two distinct circuit configurations. In a first configuration, two latches or storage elements (340, 360, 1040, 1060) are operating in series to provide a MUX-D flip-flop. In a second configuration, the storage elements (340, 360, 1040, 1060) are operating in parallel to provide a dual-edge triggered flip-flop (DETFF).Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2012Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.Inventor: Ravindraraj Ramaraju

Patent number: 7549899Abstract: An electromagnetic switch has a solenoid and an electric contact section set to a closed state in response to an attraction force of the solenoid. The contact section is covered with a contact cover fixed to the solenoid, and a terminal electrically connected with the solenoid is placed within the cover. An end of the terminal is protruded from the cover and is electrically connected with a conducting member. The member has a portion joined to the terminal and other portions separated or detachable from the terminal. In the maintenance of the switch, the portion of the member joined to the terminal is removed from the switch. After the maintenance, one of the other portions of the member is joined to the end of the terminal.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Tomoya Imanishi, Youichi Hasegawa

Patent number: 6847278Abstract: A magnetic device which is highly durable, reliable, and safe without being damaged when a magnetic filed is applied. The magnetic device includes a cooling device having a cold head refrigerated by an effect of a cryogenic refrigerator, a magnetic field generation device configured to apply a non-stationary magnetic field on a magnetic body, and a cold head extension portion configured to thermally connect the magnetic body and the cold head. The cold head extension portion includes at least two members, one a low resistance member and the other a high resistance member having different resistivities. With this device, the eddy current generated in the cold head extension portion and the electromagnetic force produced in the cold head by the cold head extension portion are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2002Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshitaka Ito, Masaaki Yoshikawa, Yousuke Yanagi, Tetsuo Oka

Patent number: 5097240Abstract: In a magnetic field generating device for an ESR system in which a pair of permanent magents are respectively attached to opposing surfaces of a pair of stationary yokes arranged in opposite and spaced apart relationship with each other and a continuously varying magnetic field is caused to generate in a space between the opposing permanent magnets, a plurality of movable yokes for continuously changing the distance between the stationary yokes are arranged to at least one of the pair of stationary yokes so that they are moved individually thereby enabling the magnetic resistance of a magnetic path formed by the permanent magnets, stationary yokes and movable yokes to vary continuously. The device of this invention can vary the magnetic field intensity continuously and finely at high accuracy and can be used at a reduced cost and size with improved operationability in ESR system.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1989Date of Patent: March 17, 1992Assignee: Sumitomo Special Metal Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Nakanishi, Kenta Konishi, Takashi Kobayashi

Patent number: 5075657Abstract: An assembly frame having first and second frame plates secures the movable parts of a breaker assembly together for ready assembly of the breaker assembly in a housing. A pivot pin supports the trip lever between the frame plates. The movable contact carrying blade has an elongated hole through which the pivot pin passes, the elongate hole forming a floating point for the pivot pin.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 1990Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: Square D CompanyInventors: Willard J. Rezac, Thomas A. Edds, James Early, Martin Donnellan, Lowell D. Smith

Patent number: 4949059Abstract: An electromagnetic circuit breaker in which the mechanism for the circuit breaker is supported on the frame, in turn, supported on a base. Cooperative with the base is an insulating housing enclosure which is moved over the mechanism and into a fixed latching engagement with the base using detents or other indexing devices. The electromagnetic coil for the breaker is supported on a bobbin, in turn, supported on a platform on the frame. A non-magnetic tube contains the magnetic core which is biased away from the pole piece closing the end of the tube. At the pole piece end of the tube a radially extending flange of the tube engages the other flange of the bobbin and supports the tube to extend through the hollow core of the bobbin and the coil wrapped thereon.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 1989Date of Patent: August 14, 1990Assignee: Heinemann Electric CompanyInventor: Konrad J. Richter, Sr.
