  • Patent number: 10168226
    Abstract: The present invention is a temperature sensor that is inserted into a screw hole of a container to be detected. The temperature sensor includes a bottomed cylindrical metal case having an opening part, a temperature-sensitive element disposed inside the opening part, a terminal in which lower end thereof is connected to the temperature-sensitive element and an upper end thereof is led out outward, and a resin coupler that seals the opening part. The terminal is led out from the resin coupler. The metal case includes a lower part disposed with the temperature-sensitive element, a screw part that is provided above the lower part and is engaged with the screw hole, and a large diameter part that is provided above the screw part and has a larger diameter than a diameter of the screw part. Further, an outer circumference of the large diameter part is covered with a resin layer.

  • Patent number: 7193862
    Abstract: In recent years, ceramic laminated devices are becoming a focus of great attention as considerable contribution to the miniaturization of high frequency wireless equipment such as a cellular phone, but it is difficult for the conventional ceramic laminated device to secure reliability while maintaining favorable high frequency characteristics. The present invention provides a ceramic laminated device including a reinforcement electrode, which is formed inside a laminated body in which a plurality of ceramic layers, a plurality of inner electrodes and inter-layer via holes are stacked, not electrically connected with inner electrodes nor inter-layer via holes but mechanically connected with the ceramic layers.

  • Publication number: 20060103488
    Abstract: A duplexer is composed of a laminate in which dielectric layers and electrode layers are laminated alternately. A first filter for transmitting and a second filter for receiving, having different pass band frequencies, are provided in the laminate. A matching circuit composed of a coupling line, having one end that is short-circuited and the other end that is connected to an external terminal, is provided between the first filter and the second filter. The first filter includes two first stripline resonators, each having one end that is short-circuited. The second filter includes two second stripline resonators, each having one end that is short-circuited. The coupling line is coupled to the first stripline resonator close to the coupling line by electromagnetic field coupling. The coupling line is coupled to the second stripline resonator close to the coupling line by electromagnetic coupling.
