Patent number: 9384873Abstract: In a differential signal transmission cable, a surface of a skin layer is partially provided with shield conductors disposed at respective equidistant portions spaced apart in a direction orthogonal to a direction in which two signal conductors are arranged, the equidistant portions each being distant by the same distance from axial centers of the signal conductors. On the surface of the skin layer, the shield conductors are not provided in areas located in the direction in which the signal conductors are arranged, and spaces are created in these areas.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: HITACHI METALS, LTD.Inventors: Hidenori Yonezawa, Takahiro Sugiyama, Hideki Nonen, Izumi Fukasaku

Patent number: 9320170Abstract: A communication module-cooling structure includes a main body section to be cooled by a cooling mechanism, and a heat sink including a cooling receiving section including partition walls and slit-shaped receiving spaces defined by the partition walls. The receiving spaces of the cooling receiving section receive communication modules, and each of the communication modules includes a substrate mounted with a communication circuit component thereon and first and second sidewalls which sandwich the substrate therebetween in a thickness direction of the substrate. At least one of the first and second sidewalls of each of the communication modules is in surface contact with an inner surface of each of the receiving spaces.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Sunaga, Yoshiaki Ishigami, Kinya Yamazaki, Hidenori Yonezawa

Patent number: 9299481Abstract: A differential signal cable is composed of two inner conductors, an insulator, which covers the two inner conductors separately or together, and an outer conductor, which covers a circumference of the insulator. When measured in a cable length of 1 m, an effective capacitance difference ?X represented by Formula (1) below is not greater than 0.2 percent of an average value C of capacitances of the two inner conductors, ?X=?C+?L/Z02??(1), where ?C is a difference in capacitance between the two inner conductors, ?L is a difference in inductance between the two inner conductors, and Z0 is a reference impedance (50 ohms).Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: HITACHI METALS, LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Ishikawa, Takahiro Sugiyama, Izumi Fukasaku, Hidenori Yonezawa, Masafumi Kaga

Patent number: 9230882Abstract: Thermal connection between a plurality of communication modules and a heatsink placed on these communication modules is securely achieved and maintained. In a signal transmission device in which a common heatsink is arranged on a plurality of communication modules equipped on a board, the signal transmission device has a coil spring provided between the board and the communication modules, and the communication modules are biased toward the heatsink by the coil spring so that an upper surface of the communication module is pressed against a bottom surface of the heatsink.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2013Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Metals, Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Sunaga, Yoshiaki Ishigami, Hidetaka Kawauchi, Hidenori Yonezawa, Kinya Yamazaki
