  • Patent number: 11557883
    Abstract: An ignition device includes a coil unit and an igniter. The coil unit includes a primary coil and a secondary coil. The primary coil includes a main primary coil and an auxiliary primary coil formed by winding a single primary conductor on a primary bobbin. The secondary coil is formed by winding a secondary conductor on a secondary bobbin. A DC voltage is applied to an intermediate section of the primary conductor between the main primary coil and the auxiliary primary coil. The igniter controls current flowing into the main primary coil or the auxiliary primary coil. The primary bobbin includes a bobbin body and a hooking part protruding from the bobbin body. The main primary coil and the auxiliary primary coil are wound on an outer peripheral surface of the bobbin body to the same direction. A part of the intermediate section is hooked on the hooking part.

  • Publication number: 20120165039
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a wireless communication module, a select information generation module, a position detection module, and a select module. The wireless communication module executes wireless communication by wireless communication systems. The select information generation module generates a plurality of pieces of communication system select information indicating a pair of a position and a wireless communication system. The position detection module detects a present position. The select module selects a first system indicated by first information corresponding to the present position if the plurality of pieces of communication system select information comprises the first information, and selects a second system of the wireless communication systems selected by a user if the plurality of pieces of communication system select information do not comprise the first information.

  • Patent number: 7560751
    Abstract: In a semiconductor photo-detecting element (an avalanche photodiode), a high-sensitivity element is obtained by incorporating a multiplication layer having high-performance multiplication characteristics. By using a structure which reduces an electric field applied to an etching stopper layer, it is possible to use a multiplication layer having higher-performance multiplication characteristics (a multiplication layer which performs multiplication with a high electric field). The first method to realize this is to use a conductivity type multiplication layer. The second method is to use a structure in which a field buffer layer of the second conductivity type is incorporated. As a result of the use of these methods, a structure which applies an electric field lower than the multiplier electrical field to the etching stopper layer is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20080183845
    Abstract: In a client server system, the network load is reduced by using the fingerprint compression and the differential compression, by providing the proxy server at the server side and using the general purpose browser at the client side, without requiring a separate proxy server at the client side. The client downloads and installs a fingerprint cache processing engine as a plug-in.

  • Patent number: 6842471
    Abstract: A semiconductor laser device includes an active layer and first and second current blocking layers having aligned stripe openings for injecting operating current into the active layer in a current injection area. The second current blocking layer has another opening, through which the first current blocking layer contacts an external cladding layer, in the vicinity of the emission facet of the laser cavity to form a current non-injection area. The first current blocking layer and the external cladding layer have a substantially equal refractive index.
