  • Patent number: 11972270
    Abstract: A communication device may include: a memory configured to store management information in which, for each of a plurality of OIDs of a MIB, the OID and a setting value are associated with each other; and a controller, wherein the controller may be configured to: receive a setting command which conforms to TCP; write the setting value included in the setting command to the management information in association with the OID included in the setting command; and send a response command which conforms to the TCP. In a case where the setting command including a first OID and a first setting value is received, the controller may be configured to: write the first setting value to the management information in association with the first OID after the response command has been sent, and send the response command before the first setting value is written to the management information.

  • Patent number: 9881758
    Abstract: A contact device includes: a contact block including a plurality of fixed terminals on which fixed contacts are formed, and a movable contactor on which movable contacts contacting and leaving the fixed contacts are formed; and a driving block that drives the movable contactor. Moreover, it is made possible to extinguish arcs, which are generated in an event where the contacts contact and leave each other, by arranging permanent magnets on a periphery of the contact block. Then, at least one fixed terminal among the plurality of fixed terminals is formed so that the fixed contact and the movable contact can abut against each other in a region other than a side opposite to the other fixed terminal.

  • Patent number: 9269507
    Abstract: A contact device includes: fixed terminals; a movable contact maker; a pressing spring; an adjustment plate that comes into contact with an upper face of the movable contact maker; a holding portion; a movable shaft; and an electromagnet block. The holding portion is divided into first and second holding portions that are separated from each other. The first and second holding portions are electrically connected to each other via only the adjustment plate, due to the adjustment plate being sandwiched by a first side plate of the first holding portion and a second side plate of the second holding portion. The adjustment plate is moved in extending and contracting directions of the pressing spring, and the adjustment plate and each of the first and second side plates are subjected to resistance welding at a position at which pressing force of the pressing spring is a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 9087655
    Abstract: A contact device includes a contact point block, a drive unit, and permanent magnets. The contact point block includes fixed terminals having fixed contact points and a movable contactor having movable contact points arranged side by side on one surface of the movable contactor. The movable contact points are configured to come into contact and out of contact with the fixed contact points. The drive unit drives the movable contactor such that the movable contact points come into contact and out of contact with the fixed contact points. The permanent magnets are arranged in a mutually opposing relationship across the contact point block along a direction orthogonal to an arrangement direction of the movable contact points and to a direction in which the movable contact points come into contact and out of contact with the fixed contact points. The permanent magnets are provided with mutually-opposing surfaces having the same polarity.
