  • Publication number: 20130169380
    Abstract: A noise filter can reliably reject an in-phase component included in a differential signal without generating anti-resonance at a target frequency reject and, a transmission device including such a noise filter. Ends of a pair of coils are connected to a pair of transmission lines in the vicinity of the transmitting circuit, and other ends are short-circuited. The coils are magnetically coupled so that the magnetic flux is cancelled regarding the in-phase component that transmits the pair of transmission lines, and the magnetic flux is increased regarding an opposite-phase component that transmits the pair of transmission lines. A series circuit, which includes an inductor and a capacitor connected in series, is connected to the pair of coils and ground. Each value of the pair of coils, the inductor, and the capacitor is set so that a resonance frequency of the in-phase component is a target frequency.

  • Publication number: 20120273248
    Abstract: A shielded cable includes at least one electric wire and a shielding layer covering the electric wire, which is formed by helically winding a tape-shaped shield member. The shielding layer is formed by winding the tape-shaped shield member laminating and integrating an insulating layer and a metal layer such that one side end portions along a lengthwise direction overlap with each other to form an overlapping portion and a non-overlapping portion of the shield member. A first one side end portion forming the overlapping portion is a folding portion formed by folding the insulating layer inward, and a second one side end portion forming the non-overlapping portion is a non-folding portion that is not folded. In the overlapping portion, the metal layer at the folding portion and the metal layer at the non-folding portion are electrically connected. The shielding layer has notches formed along the second one side end portion.

  • Patent number: 8197111
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes an excitation light source that emits excitation light, a wavelength conversion member, a light guide, and a light guide distal end member. The wavelength conversion member absorbs the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source, converts its wavelength, and releases light of a predetermined wavelength band. The light guide in which the center part (core) of its cross section has a refractive index that is higher than the refractive index of the peripheral portion (cladding) guides the excitation light emitted from the excitation light source to the wavelength conversion member. The light guide distal end member supports a distal end of the light guide on the wavelength conversion member side. The light guide distal end member is formed from a material that reflects the excitation light and/or the light that has undergone wavelength conversion.

  • Patent number: 8169131
    Abstract: A lamp includes a light-emitting body that converts electric energy into light energy and a translucent glass covering the light-emitting body, wherein a phosphor layer is provided on at least inner or outer surface of the translucent glass. The phosphor layer includes a fluorescent material including a first phosphor that at least partially converts energy emitted by an excitation source, which emits ultraviolet having a wavelength of about 365 nm, to a first emission spectrum that is different from the energy, and a second phosphor that at least partially converts the first emission spectrum to a second emission spectrum. Peak wavelengths of the emission spectrum of the first and second phosphors have a relation of complementary colors so that when the light created due to the peak wavelengths of the first and second phosphors are mixed, the resulting light is in the white region.
