  • Patent number: 7234454
    Abstract: An ignition coil is disclosed. The ignition coil includes an insulative material, a body, and a head coupled to the body. A portion of the insulative material is included in the body, and a portion of the insulative material is included in the head. The head includes a casing, a flange for coupling to an engine case, and a connector adapted to be connected to an external device. The head also includes a conducting terminal with a connector pin, an exposed contact, and a connecting part. The connector pin is coupled to the connector, the exposed contact is coupled to the casing or the flange, and the connecting part couples the exposed contact and the connector pin. A portion of the connecting part is embedded in the insulative material, and wherein a remaining portion is embedded in the casing. A method of manufacturing the ignition coil is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 5958308
    Abstract: Hot water is sprayed to fillers arranged immediately under a hot water vessel through spray ports opened on a lower surface of the hot water vessel. The hot water flowing down along the fillers is cooled through direct contact with ambient air. The cooling tower includes fillers partitioned alternately into permanent wet and wet-dry changeover regions which are mutually isolated for flow passages of the ambient air and spray pipes provided on the lower surface of the hot water vessel exclusively for the wet-dry changeover regions such that the hot water can be sprayed to the wet-dry changeover regions separately from the permanent wet regions. The hot water vessel is supported by the spray pipes. The spray ports of the hot water vessel is communicated only with the permanent wet regions.

  • Patent number: 5292494
    Abstract: A process for the production of a red phosphorus powder, which comprises heating a yellow phosphorus at the boiling point therof in the presence of a dispersant selected from the group of a surfactant, a sparingly in water, finely powdered inorganic compound, an inorganic ammonium salt or an organic compound containing an amino group, thereby to partly convert the yellow phosphorus to red phosphorus, removing most of the unconverted yellow phosphorus by distillation at the boiling point of yellow phosphorus, and further removing the slight amount of the still remaining yellow phosphorus by heating a temperature not lower than the boiling point of yellow phosphorus to obtain a red phosphorus fine powder which is less apt to undergo a disproportionation reaction.
