  • Patent number: 7344296
    Abstract: A socket fixed to a heat sink holds a card-type LED module formed by integrating LED elements. The socket (6) includes: a frame structure for holding the LED module (1000) with its light source unit exposed through the frame opening; and a pressing member positioned around the opening for pressing the back surface of the LED module against the heat sink (2122). The socket may include a structure including a lower member (61) placed on a heat sink and an upper frame member (62) holding the LED module with its light source unit (1002) exposed through the frame opening. The upper member supported by the lower member via a hinge can open/close, and includes a pressing unit pressing the LED module set in the open state, against the lower member (61). The lower member (61) includes, in its main part, a lock unit (63) directly or indirectly lock the upper member (62) when the upper member is closed.

  • Patent number: 6264500
    Abstract: A cable holder of an electric connector is formed with a plurality of cable guide slots at a prescribed interval and bent in U-shape, along which cable conductors are arranged. The cable conductors are positioned in alignment members which are located in recesses on opposite sides of the cable holder. The cable conductor bent in U-shape in the cable guide slots are used as a plug of the electric connector. A receptacle of an electric connector is covered with a receptacle shield cover with the portion opposite a printed circuit board being removed, while shielding conductive pattern is formed on the portion of the printed circuit board opposite the receptacle so that the entire exterior of the receptacle is covered with the shielding conductive pattern on the printed circuit board and the receptacle shield cover.

  • Patent number: 6053002
    Abstract: There is provided a controlling apparatus for an air conditioner, which comprises: an inverter circuit for feeding as an output a pseudo-sine wave from a switching signal obtained by comparison between a modulated wave and a carrier wave; a refrigeration cycle device which has a compressor driven by the pseudo-sine wave from the inverter circuit so that the modulated wave is adjusted according to a load of an air conditioner; and a correction device for correcting an amplitude of the modulated wave into a smaller one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is larger than a rated voltage by a first predetermined value, and correcting the modulated wave into a larger one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is smaller than the rated voltage by a second predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 5609497
    Abstract: A guide component, which supports a pressing member such that it can slide up and down at a specific location over an IC, is provided to the inner side of a cover lid 20, and a pressing component is formed on the pressing member 24 side of the cover lid, so that when the socket substrate is closed by the cover lid, the pressing member is supported in a state in which it can only slide up and down at a specific location over the IC, and the pressing member is pressed perpendicularly while the pressing component slides over the back surface of the pressing member.

  • Patent number: 4733120
    Abstract: A flat type stepping motor used mainly for driving an ultra small size floppy disk is disclosed. According to the invention, a rotor yoke holder holding a pair of yokes on the rotor unit is secured to the end of a rotary shaft, while a stator unit is disposed radially outward of the rotor unit within the interior of the motor casing. The end of the rotor shaft is carried by a bearing unit, the end of which is introduced into the inside of the rotor yoke holder. The bearing unit and the rotor yoke holder are overlapped with each other in the axial direction of the stepping motor, to conserve axial space.
