  • Patent number: 7428135
    Abstract: A multilayer capacitor comprises a multilayer body in which dielectric layers and first and second inner electrodes are alternately laminated, and first and second terminal conductors and first and second outer connecting conductors. At least one each of first and second terminal conductors and the first outer connecting conductor are formed on a first side face of the multilayer body. At least one each of the first and second terminal conductors and the second outer connecting conductor are formed on a second side face of the multilayer body opposing the first side face. Each inner electrode is electrically connected to the corresponding outer connecting conductors. First and second inner connecting conductors electrically connected to the corresponding terminal and outer connecting conductors are laminated in the multilayer body. An equivalent series resistance is set to a desirable value by adjusting the number or positions of the inner connecting conductors.

  • Patent number: 6870728
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor with a further lowered impedance is provided. In the electrolytic capacitor in accordance with the present invention, respective currents directed opposite from each other flow through anode and cathode vias extending along the thickness of a substrate. The anode vias are lopsidedly located in a marginal area of an anode electrode pattern, and thus are disposed significantly close to the cathode vias formed in a cathode electrode pattern disposed close to the anode electrode pattern. The cathode vias are lopsidedly located in a marginal area of the cathode electrode pattern, and thus are disposed significantly close to the anode vias. Since the anode and cathode vias are formed close to each other as such, this electrolytic capacitor achieves a lower ESL, thereby attaining an impedance lower than that of a conventional electrolytic capacitor.

  • Patent number: 5280145
    Abstract: A unitized, switch activating mechanism for use in keyboard assemblies for activating snap dome or similar type switches. The mechanism includes a relatively hard actuating tip portion disposed intermediate an elastomeric conical skirt portion and a light guide portion. The conical skirt functions both as a light reflector and as a return spring. The light guide portion is constructed from a diffused translucent, relatively hard elastomeric material which functions as a highly efficient light guide for uniformly illuminating the key legend of the key board assembly with which the light guide interfaces.
