  • Patent number: 7662612
    Abstract: A sensor device is provided for performing rapid and high-sensitivity detection. The sensor device comprising at least one support for immobilizing a subject to be detected and a cell for containing a solution in which a reaction product generated from the subject to be detected is diffused. At least one reaction region having a constant concentration of the reaction product is formed by diffusion of the reaction product into the solution, and the reaction region is formed in such a manner that the reaction product is specifically detected in a predetermined measurement time.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 10, 2001
    Date of Patent: February 16, 2010
    Assignee: Panasonic Corporation
    Inventors: Kazuhiro Niwa, Masashi Nishiguchi, Toru Onouchi

  • Patent number: 4758916
    Abstract: An electromagnetic transducer assembly for use in a helical-scan type video tape recorder includes a pair of magnetic heads secured to a nonmagnetic base and successively arranged in spaced relationship with each other in the direction of transport of a magnetic medium, each of the heads comprising a generally U-shaped core having a pair of limb portions and a web portion therebetween, a generally I-shaped core connected to the limb portions to form a closed magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap therein, and a coil wound on the closed magnetic circuit, the I-shaped cores of the heads respectively having confronting edges extending unparallel to the magnetic gaps.

  • Patent number: 4652955
    Abstract: An electromagnetic transducer assembly for a helical-scan type video tape recorder comprises a nonmagnetic base, and a pair of magnetic heads secured to the base and successively arranged in spaced relationship with each other in the direction of transport of a magnetic medium, each of the heads comprising a generally U-shaped core having a pair of limb portions and a web portion therebetween, a generally I-shaped core connected to the limb portions to form a closed magnetic circuit having a magnetic gap therein, and a coil wound on the closed magnetic circuit. The I-shaped cores of the heads respectively have arcuately shaped edge portions adjacent the magnetic gaps and opposed to each other across the space between the heads to eliminate the creation of false magnetic gap effect.
