  • Patent number: 8581599
    Abstract: A conduction check apparatus including an inspection part (4) having a main body (22) having a surface (23a), inspection pins (21) protruded from the surface (23a), a guide pin (8) provided on the surface (23a); and a protection board 6 sliding along the guide pin (8) from a first position to a second position and having a plurality of holes (28). At the first position, the protection board (6) covers a tip of each of the inspection pins (21) and, at the second position, each of the inspection pins (21) jut out from the respective one of the holes (28). The conduction check apparatus includes a connector setting part (3) relatively moving toward the inspection part (4). The protection board (6) moves between the first and the second position during the relative movement.

  • Publication number: 20080149083
    Abstract: A plasma ignition system has an electromagnetic noise reduction circuit in addition to a discharge power circuit, a plasma generating power circuit, a plasma ignition plug, a discharging wire and a plasma generating wire. The noise reduction circuit includes a first rectifier connected to the discharging wire, a second rectifier connected to the plasma generating wire, and a noise reducing capacitor connected in parallel to the second rectifier. The noise reduction circuit is disposed close to the ignition plug so that the noise reducing capacitor bypasses only high frequency noise currents generated when the ignition plug discharges.

  • Publication number: 20080141967
    Abstract: A plasma ignition device is provided with a plasma ignition plug having an insulation member to insulate a center electrode from a ground electrode, and electric power supply circuits to apply high voltages to the plasma ignition plug. The plasma ignition device activates the gas in a discharge space of the insulation member into the plasma of a high temperature and a high pressure by the high voltage applied between the center electrode and the ground electrode and injects the same into an internal combustion engine. The electric power supply circuits are connected to the center electrode as an anode and to the ground electrode as a cathode.

  • Publication number: 20070295947
    Abstract: A corrugated tube mounting jig 5 for mounting a corrugated tube C, having a slit S formed in a longitudinal direction, on a wire bundle W, has a higher flexibility at its distal end portion, and has a larger restoring force at the other portion. This corrugated tube mounting jig 5 includes a folded-back portion 51 of a generally U-shape for gripping the wire bundle W, side plate portions 52 which are continuous with the folded-back portion 51, and extend to be disposed respectively at opposite sides of the wire bundle W, and are arranged parallel to each other, and have respective end edges slanting relative to the wire bundle W, and a flange portion 53 which is formed at the slanting end edges of the side plate portions, and extends outwardly of the side plate portions 52. At least that portion of the folded-back portion 51 which defines its distal end portion with respect to a direction X of insertion of the corrugated tube C is made smaller in thickness than the other portion.

  • Patent number: 5986521
    Abstract: A multi-passband filter includes a dielectric member (1), a plurality of resonant lines (12a-12c,13,14a-14d,15a-15c) provided within or on the dielectric member (1) and the resonant lines (12a-12c,13,14a-14d,15a-15c) are coupled to adjacent resonant lines so that a plurality of resonators are provided. At least one pair of resonant lines (12a-12c,13,14a-14d,15a-15c) are interdigitally coupled to each other in such a manner that the open ends and short-circuited ends of said resonant lines (12a-12c,13,14a-14d,15a-15c) are located in opposite directions with respect to each other, thereby providing a band-elimination filter. At least one pair of said resonant lines (14a-14d) may be comb-line coupled to each other in such a manner that the open ends and short-circuited ends of said resonant lines (14a-14d) are located in the same direction with respect to each other, thereby providing a band-pass filter. The multi-passband filter requires only a limited space to dispose the band-elimination filter in the filter.
