Abstract: An optical fiber cable includes: a plurality of optical fibers; a cable sheath covering the plurality of optical fibers; and a plurality of tension member groups embedded in the cable sheath. Each of the plurality of tension member groups includes at least one tension member. In a cross section of the optical fiber cable perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the optical fiber cable, roundness of the cable sheath is 85% or more.

Abstract: A cylindrical vibration damping apparatus having an elastic body connecting an inner shaft and an outer cylinder member, and a pair of rubber stop plates disposed at axial ends of the inner shaft member. Each rubber stop plate has a mount hole that fits about the outside of the inner shaft member. Pairs of mating projections and mating recesses are provided to an interface between an inner circumferential surface of the mount hole of the each rubber stop plate and an outer circumferential surface of the corresponding axial end of the inner shaft member at three or more different intervals in a circumferential direction so that the pair of rubber stop plates are installed onto the axial ends of the inner shaft member with correct identification of a front and back and a circumferential position about the inner shaft member. A method of manufacturing the same is also disclosed.

Abstract: A multilayered coil is formed by inserting insulating paper 13 having either a pressure sensitive adhesive or an adhesive disposed on both faces thereof into at least one place between thin coil layers and then magnetic cores 15 are mounted to the multilayered coil from above and below. Thus, a thin transformer for a switching power supply is provided, in which variation in distance between coil 11 and coil 12, of which one is disposed over the other, variation in distance of coil 11 and coil 12 from magnetic core 15 and the like are suppressed.

Abstract: A fluid-filled elastic mount of suspension type, wherein a lower open-end of a cylindrical portion of a second mounting member is fluid-tightly closed by a first mounting member and a tapered elastic body interposed therebetween, extending from the lower open-end into the cylindrical portion. An upper open-end portion of the cylindrical portion is closed by a flexible layer for forming a fluid-filled chamber between the elastic body and the flexible layer and being divided by a partition member into a pressure-receiving chamber defined by the elastic body and an equilibrium chamber defined by the flexible layer, which are held in communication by an orifice passage An elastic restricting projection is bonded to the partition member to protrude and be located in an intermediate portion between the radially opposite elastic body and the cylindrical portion, for restricting an annular region of the intermediate portion.

Abstract: A circuit board comprising a composite resin and a metal plate, the metal plate forming circuit patterns. The composite resin comprises 70-95 parts by weight of inorganic filler, and 5-30 parts by weight of a resin composition including a thermosetting resin and a hardener. The metal plate is surface treated to reinforce the adhesion at least at one surface contacting with the composite resin. The composite resin fills spaces between the circuit patterns, and the composite resin composition and the metal plate form a plane at a side of the metal plate for mounting components. Since the resin composition including the inorganic filler is also present in the spaces between circuit patterns of a metal plate, heat dissipation characteristic of the circuit board is extremely high, and is suited for electronic apparatus containing heat generating parts such as power circuit.

Abstract: A circuit board of the present invention comprises a composite resin and a metal plate, and the metal plate forms circuit patterns. The metal plate is preferably made of copper or copper alloys having excellent heat conductivity. The composite resin comprises 70-95 parts by weight of inorganic filler, and 5-30 parts by weight of a resin composition including a thermosetting resin and a hardener. The metal plate is surface roughened or treated to reinforce the adhesion at least at one surface contacting with the composite resin. In the circuit board of the present invention, the composite resin fills spaces between the circuit patterns, and the composite resin composition and the metal plate form a plane at the side of the metal plate for mounting components.

Abstract: An inexpensive highly reliable power supply for small-sized electronic devices, in which any high-withstand-voltage diode which has been used conventionally is not used and reverse leak currents are prevented. A series circuit of a primary-side coil (34) of a switching transformer and a switching element (35) is connected between both ends of an input power source (31) and a series circuit composed of a resistor (32) and a capacitor (33) is also connected between both ends of the power source (31). The connecting point between the resistor (32) and capacitor (33) is connected to one end of the control winding (37) of the switching transformer and the other end of the winding (37) of the transformer is connected to the control terminal of the switching element (35). A discharge circuit (40) which is driven by signals from the control winding (37) of the transformer is used as a means for discharging the capacitor (33).
