  • Publication number: 20240077297
    Abstract: An eddy current sensor assembly includes an eddy current sensor and an output signal processing circuit that processes an output signal from the eddy current sensor. The output signal processing circuit includes a mixer circuit that accepts the output signal and a signal of the predetermined frequency as input, multiplies the two signals received as input, and outputs an output signal obtained by the multiplication, and a low-pass filter that accepts the output signal output by the mixer circuit as input, cuts a high-frequency signal included in the output signal received as input, and outputs at least a direct-current (DC) signal.

  • Publication number: 20240052871
    Abstract: Provided is a fixing member that can fix a base and a fixing target member such that the fixation between the base and the fixing target member can be released and formation of a gap between the base and the fixing target member is suppressed. The fixing member includes a shaft portion and an elastic piece formed integrally with the shaft portion. The shaft portion is provided so as to be movable between an advance position at which the distal end portion thereof is engageable with a hole of the fixing target member and a retraction position at which the engagement is released, in an assembled state to the base. The elastic piece biases the shaft portion to the advance position, and is elastically deformable so as to permit movement of the shaft portion to the retraction position.

  • Patent number: 10666034
    Abstract: Provided is a binding structure of a wire routing material which can allow reduction of cost and also provides excellent workability for assembly into a vehicle body when wiring for wire routing materials having different shapes, such as a wire harness and a flat wire routing material, is performed in the vehicle body. A binding structure 1 is formed in which a flexible wire routing material 2 and a plate-shaped flat wire routing material 3 having higher rigidity than the flexible wire routing material 2 overlap each other, and the flexible wire routing material 2 and the flat wire routing material 3 are enclosed in an annular form, bound, and held by a binding portion 45 of an engaging member 4 including an engaging portion 40 for assembly into the vehicle body.

  • Patent number: 10406999
    Abstract: To provide a bracket assembling mechanism that assembles a bracket to a vehicle component while preventing the bracket from shaking. A bracket assembling mechanism assembles a bracket 101 to an assembling part 10 of a vehicle holding component 1. The assembling part 10 includes an accommodating part 11 that accommodates the bracket 101 and a retainer engaging part 12 that retains the accommodated bracket 101. The accommodating part 11 includes an elastic projecting part 9 that projects from a side wall surface that opposes the accommodated bracket 101 in a widthwise direction 101z of the bracket. When the bracket 101 is accommodated, the elastic projecting part 9 is elastically deformed in a manner that its distal end side is bent in a plate thickness direction 101y of the bracket 101.
