  • Patent number: 11824460
    Abstract: A power converter includes a power module, a terminal block, a housing that houses the power module and the terminal block, and a bus bar that electrically connects the power module and a conductive member connected to an electric component outside the housing. The terminal block is a member that electrically connects the bus bar and the conductive member, has a first surface, a second surface facing the first surface, and a connection surface that connects the first surface and the second surface, and includes a fastening member provided on the second surface to be movable with respect to the terminal block. The bus bar is formed between the power module and the conductive member to surround the first surface, the connection surface, and the second surface of the terminal block, and is connected to the conductive member on the second surface via the fastening member.

  • Patent number: 4551113
    Abstract: An improved radio controlled yacht of the type including servo motors, a battery and a receiver mounted thereon is disclosed, wherein the yacht is adapted to sail on water by itself under the influence of natural wind force while the extent of swing of its sail and the angle of turning of a rudder are controlled in response to signals transmitted from a sender. A sail servo for controlling the extent of swing of the sail includes an output shaft to which a sail trimmer is fixedly secured and sheets are inserted through holes which are formed on the end part of the sail trimmer. One end of the sheet is attached to a boom of the sail, whereas the other end of the sheet extends in the direction of the boom and it is anchored at a predetermined position located on the deck.
