  • Patent number: 7491897
    Abstract: In order to suppress the occurrence of damage on a press-fit joining wiring board, a peak value of stress generated on the board in the case of a press-fitting a press-fit terminal into a through-hole is reduced so that it can not exceed the design standard value of the board. In the press-fit terminal in which a body part, retaining part, introducing part and forward end part are integrally formed, a cross-sectional area of the introducing part is reduced to be smaller than that of the retaining part, so that an intensity of the elastic force of the introducing part is decreased to be lower than that of the elastic force of the retaining part. Alternatively, on the wiring board, elastic material is filled into resin for combining sheet-like base material of the board so as to relieve an intensity of stress generated on the board itself.

  • Patent number: 7142034
    Abstract: Positive charges of a sensor element are stored in a capacitor for converting a voltage, are converted into a positive voltage by an amplifier, and then are outputted. When the polarity of the charges of the sensor element are inverted to be negative, the charges inversely flow from the capacitor for converting the voltage and feed back to an equivalent capacitor of the sensor element. The output of the amplifier reduces and returns to a zero-point. An automatic correcting circuit makes an FET conductive and the charges are discharged in order to prevent the fluctuation of the zero-point level due to the negative drift.

  • Patent number: 7120024
    Abstract: An electronic control device enabling heat generated by a power module to be favorably radiated even in a high-temperature condition in an engine compartment. The unit includes a casing accommodating a control circuit substrate; a die-cast mounting plate forming a control circuit substrate support portion, a frame-like fitting member and an external mounting portion integrally together; and a metal substrate on which a power module is adhered. When the mounting plate is mounted on the wall of a transmission and the metal substrate is fitted in the opening in the bottom surface of the frame-like fitting member, a mounting surface in nearly the same plane is formed by the lower surface of the mounting plate and by the lower surface of the metal substrate permitting heat from the power module to be radiated to the wall.

  • Patent number: 7078628
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a substrate for circuit wiring in which an electronic component is mounted, by soldering, to a wiring pattern formed on an insulated layer deposited over a metallic substrate. A silica-based filler and a rubber-based filler are added in the insulated layer to reduce the linear thermal expansion of the layer and increase its elastic modulus. The mounting portion of an electronic component is molded with a resin material to which a silica-based filler has been added, and which thus has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion smaller than the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the insulated layer. This serves to alleviate the stress caused by the linear thermal expansion of the metallic substrate, and thereby to prevent separation from occurring between the insulated layer and the metallic substrate, as well as between the insulated layer and the wiring pattern, when subjected to a high-temperature environment.

    Abstract: A combustion-pressure-data acquisition system of a multi-cylinder engine according to the present invention includes an in-cylinder pressure sensor CPS#n for directly detecting combustion pressure in each cylinder; an amplifier unit AP#n to which the in-cylinder pressure sensor CPS#n for each cylinder is connected; and a channel switching unit MUX to which the amplifier unit AP#n for each cylinder is connected. It selects a system to be measured from among a plurality of systems of signals from the amplifier units AP#n with a channel selection signal outputted from an engine-controlling electronic control unit and outputs combustion pressure data to the ECU. Further, it outputs to an amplifier unit AP#n with which measurement ends a reset signal for discharging the electric charge between the in-cylinder pressure sensor CPS#n and the amplifier circuit to efficiently acquire combustion pressure data of each cylinder with a simple structure without complicated processing.
