Publication number: 20240077297Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Hiroto YAMADA, Taro TAKAHASHI, Hiroaki SHIBUE, Atsushi ABE, Shinpei TOKUNAGA

Publication number: 20240052871Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Makoto KATO, Atsushi TOKUNAGA

Patent number: 10406999Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: DAIWA KASEI INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Ohashi, Naohiro Sawada, Atsushi Tokunaga
