  • Patent number: 7463208
    Abstract: An antenna comprising a magnetic main-path member comprising a coil wound around a magnetic core, and a magnetic sub-path member magnetically connected to the magnetic core for constituting a substantially closed magnetic path with the magnetic main-path member, the antenna meeting the relation of (S/N)1>(S/N)0, wherein (S/N)1 is a ratio of a signal voltage S obtained from the coil to a noise voltage N in this antenna, and (S/N)0 is a ratio of a signal voltage S to a noise voltage N in an antenna having the same structure except for having no magnetic sub-path member.

  • Patent number: 7061439
    Abstract: An antenna includes an elongate laminated core, a core case having an electrical insulating property and housing the core, and a coil wound around the core between both end portions of the core through the case. The core has a first and second groups, each including thin plates of amorphous soft magnetic alloy laminated with each other, and is configured by stacking the first and second groups one another. Each of the thin plates of the core includes flanges provided at both end portions thereof, and a coil wound portion between the both end portions, and the case includes projections, which push the both end portions of the thin plates of the second group to separate from the both end portions of the thin plates of the first group in the laminating direction of the thin plates of the core while the core is housed in the case.

  • Patent number: 6448863
    Abstract: The differential transmission cable comprises a cable having at least one pair of differential transmission lines, one or more transmission transformers, and connectors at both ends, the transmission transformer having an integrally sintered laminate structure and a coupling coefficient of 0.65 to 0.98 at 100 MHz, the distance between a center of the transmission transformer and a tip end of the closest connector being within 0.1 m, and the distance between a center of the transmission transformer and a tip end of the farthest connector or between a center of the transmission transformer and a center of the other transmission transformer being 0.5 to 4 m. The transmission transformer is mounted onto a substrate, which is inserted into the connector or a housing of the connector having lands or a positioning holder. After wiring, the connector including the substrate is integrally resin-molded.

  • Patent number: 5536983
    Abstract: A plurality of permanent magnets is disposed in a pair of yoke sections so that magnetic poles adjacent to each other and facing each other have opposite polarities. An armature coil is provided in a magnetic gap through which coil a electric current is made to flow to cause its relative movement with respect to the permanent magnets. A linear scale is provided on the stator so as to be located on the thrust center line or in the vicinity thereof, and a read head is provided on the movable member so as to face the linear scale.
