  • Publication number: 20100001910
    Abstract: No coupled effects occur even when a plurality of antennas is provided. An insert fitting 12 is formed integrally with an antenna cover such that the insert fitting 12 is arranged overhead of a patch antenna 13 in a position where the gap h satisfies h<<?/4. Further, the width D of the insert fitting 12 and an antenna element 10 secured to the insert fitting 12 is set so as to satisfy D<<?/4, and the insert fitting 12 and the antenna element 10 are extended upwards at a slant. An effect on the emission pattern and electric characteristics of the patch antenna 13 can thereby be prevented even if the antenna element 10 and the insert fitting 12, which are metal conductors, are arranged in proximity to the patch antenna 13.

  • Patent number: 7449822
    Abstract: A small-sized spark plug is provided which ensures the stability in the location of production of sparks between center and ground electrodes. The center and ground electrodes have joined thereon cylindrical members such as noble metal chips which are opposed to each other through a spark gap. The cylindrical members are so oriented to have longitudinal center lines extend parallel in misalignment with each other. This orientation results in shorter and longer intervals between end surfaces of the cylindrical members. The sparks are concentrated between portions of edges of cylindrical members located apart the shorter interval, thereby resulting in the stability in the location of production of the sparks.
