  • Patent number: 6477059
    Abstract: In an electronic device, a board connection structure of the present invention is provided, that electrically connects conductive parts of multiple circuit boards arranged in layers. The board connection structure reduces the positional displacement of the two circuit boards without considering the positioning precision of connectors provided on each circuit board. The board connection structure of the present invention is a board connection structure 1 which connects electrically conductive parts (13, 23) of two circuit boards (11, 21) arranged in layers. The board connection structure has a pair of connectors (31, 41) which have electrical continuity with the conductive parts (13, 23) of the two circuit boards (11, 21) arranged facing each other, and a flexible wiring board 51 which is electrically connected with each of the pair of connectors (31, 41) and ensures electrical continuity between the connectors (31, 41).

  • Patent number: 6157097
    Abstract: For the purpose of preventing generation of burning or disconnection of an inrush current preventing resistor (3) when making and breaking of an AC power supply are frequently repeated, energy to be charged to a smoothing capacitor (4) at the time of making the power supply is calculated from the capacitance of the smoothing capacitor (4) of a capacitor-input type rectifying circuit and value of a rectifying smoothing DC voltage, and a mean power is calculated from the energy and the number of times of power making and breaking within a predetermined period of time. If the mean power exceeds an allowable power of the inrush current preventing resistor (3) for preventing an inrush current at the time of making the power supply, warning by an alarm display or an alarm output and power non-making interlock are carried out, and driving of a load-side device is stopped.
