Patent number: 11942768Abstract: A wire cover includes an inner cover member covering a bent section of an electric wire from an inner peripheral side and an outer cover member covering the bent section from an outer peripheral side. One end portion of the wire cover sandwiches the electric wire along a first direction. The other end portion of the wire cover sandwiches the electric wire along a second direction. The inner cover member and the outer cover member move relative to each other along the first direction. When observed from a third direction intersecting a plane that includes the first direction and the second direction, a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion are positioned outward of the surface of the inner cover body on the innermost side of the bent section or inward of the surface of the outer cover body on the outermost side of the bent section.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Hironobu Yamamoto, Kyungwoo Kim, Toshinari Kobayashi, Moriyuki Shimizu, Yukitoshi Terasaka, Hiroyuki Koyano

Patent number: 8305852Abstract: Disclosed is an optical information recording medium that can solve a problem that a BCA mark becomes unrecognizable in an optical recording medium including a recording layer using an organic coloring matter. A playback signal in a burst cut area comprises a bright-area amplitude level formed upon the playback of a part where no barcode-shaped mark has been formed, a dark-area amplitude level formed upon the playback of a part where a barcode-shaped mark has been formed, and a maximum amplitude level having a protruded waveform formed upon the reproduction of the edge of a barcode-shaped mark. When a portion intermediate between the maximum amplitude level and the dark-part amplitude level is defined as an intermediate level, the intermediate level is lower than the bright-area amplitude level.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2009Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd.Inventors: Isao Matsuda, Hironobu Shimizu
