  • Patent number: 8410464
    Abstract: An optical coupler has a first terminal board and a second terminal board, a first conversion element for converting an electrical signal into an optical signal mounted on a surface of a first element mounting section of the first terminal board, a second conversion element for converting an optical signal into an electrical signal mounted on a surface of a second element mounting section of the second terminal board; and a light reflective curved surface formed so as to cover the first conversion element and the second conversion element. The surfaces of the first element mounting section and the second element mounting section have the same orientation. An optical signal emitted from the first conversion element is reflected on the light reflective curved surface, to optically couple the first conversion element and the second conversion element.

  • Patent number: 8300857
    Abstract: An acoustic sensing element has a substrate that includes a back chamber, a vibration electrode plate that is provided in a surface of the substrate while being opposite an upper surface opening of the back chamber, and a fixed electrode plate that is provided opposite the vibration electrode plate, an acoustic hole being made in the fixed electrode plate. The acoustic sensing element outputs an electric signal based on an electrostatic capacitance change generated between the vibration electrode plate and the fixed electrode plate by a displacement of the vibration electrode plate. A lower surface of the back chamber is closed into a pouched shape by the substrate.

  • Patent number: 7283710
    Abstract: Optical fiber guides are provided outside a waveguide mounting region of a supporting substrate. Optical fibers are provided so as to be fitted in the optical fibers, respectively. In addition, end faces of the optical fibers and end faces to which a core of an optical waveguide is exposed are opposed and almost parallel to each other. Furthermore, the end face to which the core of the optical waveguide is exposed is provided so as to form an acute angle with a surface of the supporting substrate. Thus, tip ends of the optical fibers are not likely to be shifted from the core in a thickness direction of an optical waveguide device.
