  • Patent number: 6613707
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a dielectric ceramic composition having a formula represented by (1−x)Nd(Ga1−yAly)O3-xCaTiO3, wherein x refers a mole fraction of CaTiO3 to the composition and satisfies an expression of 0.5≦x≦0.8, and y refers a mole fraction of Al to Ga and satisfies an expression of 0≦y≦0.9. The present dielectric substance has a high dielectric constant and a high Q value and a resonant frequency temperature coefficient of near 0. Also, it can be sintered at a low temperature and thus replace the conventional dielectric materials used as a filter for parts of mobile communication or satellite communication appliances.

  • Patent number: 6593263
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for preparing Ba(Zn1/3Ta2/3)O3 dielectric ceramic compositions. In accordance with the present invention, by adding a small amount of Al2O3, Ga2O3, ZrO2, or TiO2, which can generate metal ion having an atomic value of 3+ or 4+, the problems occurring during the sintering of BZT due to the volatilization of Zn can be solved. Also, the BZT dielectrics obtained from the present method have a Q value of 200,000, which is higher than the pure BZT, a dielectric constant of 28.5 or more and a resonant frequency temperature coefficient of near 0.

  • Publication number: 20030092973
    Abstract: A method for communication between inside and outside of a transmission medium using the transmission medium as a communication line, includes the steps of: receiving an electric signal having information related to a transmission medium from a plurality of sensors inside the transmission medium; conducting the electric signal to the transmission medium; and sensing the electric signal flowing to the outside of the transmission medium. Because a modulating unit is not necessary, a power consumption is minimized. In addition, since an electric signal is directly conducted to a medium, it is not necessary to use an antenna, and thus, degradation of a reception rate according to a directional property of the antenna can be prevented. Moreover, since the electric signal is directly generated in the medium and the medium is directly used as an electric conductor, the overall size of a transmitter is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6005320
    Abstract: A two-phase brushless direct-current (BLDC) motor having a single Hall effect device. The BLDC motor includes a stator comprised of 2n coils grouping as first and second phase coils at a uniform interval, and a rotor which N-pole and S-pole magnets of the same number as that of the stator coils are alternately disposed, the 2n magnets forming n pairs, each pair of magnets are disposed at a uniform interval, wherein a distant ratio from the center of one N-pole magnet to the centers of the S-pole magnets adjacent the N-pole magnet is established into 1:1.4. Since 2n auxiliary magnets are disposed annularly on the rotor with the same length as each other corresponding to the N-pole and S-pole magnets, a single Hall effect device detects the magnetic pole by magnetic flux of the rotating auxiliary magnets and generates the rotating position signal of the rotor, so that a switching controller can activate the first and second phase coils alternately.
