  • Publication number: 20240069155
    Abstract: A radar apparatus includes an antenna unit, a cover portion, and a radio-wave suppression portion. The antenna unit includes an antenna surface in which one or more antennas that radiate radio waves are provided and is configured to emit a target radio wave of a predetermined frequency band. The cover portion is configured to be provided in a position through which the target radio wave passes. The radio-wave suppression portion is integrated with the cover portion in an out-of-detection-range area, of an outer surface of the cover portion, that is an area outside a range of a detection angle of the antenna portion, and includes a conductive portion that has conductivity and a non-conductive portion that does not have conductivity.

  • Patent number: 11770895
    Abstract: A resin member is formed from a resin material containing filler and an insulating base polymer as a main component. The resin member includes an alignment layer close to a surface of the resin member. The alignment layer includes the filler aligned in the surface direction and the base polymer filling the space between pieces of the filler. The alignment layer includes a carbonized portion that is carbonized matter of the base polymer, contains graphite, and provides electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity.

  • Patent number: 11656111
    Abstract: A flowmeter is configured to measure a flow rate of a gas flowing through a main passage. The flowmeter includes a housing and a flow rate detector. The housing is made of a resin and includes a bypass passage branched off from the main passage. The flow rate detector is disposed in the bypass passage and transmits detection signals in accordance with the flow rate of the gas flowing through the main passage. The housing includes a non-insulation portion including graphite.

  • Patent number: 10522957
    Abstract: In a power converter, a semiconductor module incorporates therein a semiconductor element that constitutes a power converter circuit. The semiconductor module has a power terminal extending therefrom, and the power terminal has opposing first and second terminal surfaces. The power converter includes a capacitor electrically connected to the semiconductor module. The power converter includes a busbar. The busbar includes a capacitor-connection terminal connected to the capacitor, and at least first and second semiconductor-connection terminals that are at least partly joined to the respective first and second terminal surfaces of the power terminal.
