Patent number: 6892980Abstract: A vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft is superior in maneuverability, safety, and mobility. The aircraft has turbofan engines with separate core engines having fan engines used commonly for cruising and lifting up. The thrust from the fan engines can be directed to all directions by supporting the fan engines of the turbofan engines with separate core engines with biaxial support so that the fan engines are rotatable in the direction of pitching and rolling. The fan engines are mounted on both sides of each of front and rear sings. With this construction, the VTOL aircraft can cruise and hover by tilting the fan engines about the two axes while using the fan engines commonly for cruising and hovering.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Hideharu Kawai

Publication number: 20040201134Abstract: A method of forming a magnetic body, alternative to a ferrite core, on a printed circuit board is provided. A printed circuit board is set in a mold and injection molding is conducted. The mold comprises a fixed plate, an intermediate plate and a movable plate. A cavity in the intermediate plate is filled with a melted material (i.e., mixture of resin and magnetic filler) supplied via a sprue and a runner. A cavity in the movable plate is also filled with the material supplied to the cavity in the intermediate plate through a hole in the printed circuit board. When a magnetic body for noise control is directly injection molded onto the printed circuit board in such a way, no gap appears between the magnetic body and the printed circuit board. As a result, the magnetic body functions well as desired.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2004Publication date: October 14, 2004Inventors: Hideharu Kawai, Toru Matsuzaki

Patent number: 6733614Abstract: A thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil is obtained by press bonding a magnetic foil to a thermal conductive layer via a primer layer. Since the primer layer contains a thermal conductive filler, it has high thermal conductivity and does not interrupt thermal conduction from the thermal conductive layer to the magnetic foil. It also spontaneously destroys a skin layer on the surface of the thermal conductive layer upon the press bonding. Accordingly, the thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil of the present invention improves thermal conduction from the thermal conductive layer to the conductive foil, eliminating the unfavorable effects of the skin layer and the primer layer, and thus improves heat radiation of the thermal conductive sheet with conductive foil.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2003Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Kitagawa Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Yamaguchi, Hideharu Kawai, Yasuhiro Kawaguchi
