  • Publication number: 20030151931
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a small size output transformer capable of producing sine wave oscillation at stability and high efficiency. A drive circuit including a switching circuit is connected to DC power source input units 12a, 12b, and an output transformer 10 is connected to the drive circuit. At the drive circuit, the switching circuit is turned on and off on the basis of a feedback signal of the primary side resonance voltage induced in the input side primary winding of the output transformer. The energizing direction of the DC power source to the output transformer is converted in clockwise and counter-clockwise direction by the on and off of the switching circuit, and the power source is applied as the AC signal to the input side primary winding of the output transformer. The phase detecting means detects the phase of the resonance waveform at the primary side of the output transformer 10 and outputs the phase signal.

  • Patent number: 6426585
    Abstract: Multiple outputs can be efficiently generated in a piezoelectric transformer by utilizing both surfaces of a piezoelectric member at the primary side, and the piezoelectric member at the primary side is polarized in the direction of thickness or in the direction of length. The piezoelectric members at the secondary side applied with a polarization in the direction of thickness or in the direction of length are laminated on both surfaces of the piezoelectric member at the primary side in the direction of thickness or in the direction of length. When an alternating voltage is applied to the input terminals at the primary side, thickness vertical vibration is generated at the piezoelectric member at the primary side. The vertical wave vibration that propagates in the direction of thickness propagates to the piezoelectric members at the secondary side, and generates an alternating voltage by a piezoelectric positive effect.

  • Patent number: 6154179
    Abstract: A high dielectric is fixed to the side of an opening of a casing made from a good electroconductive material or is fixed to the side of an opening of an outer shell made from an insulator such as ferrite, and an antenna element is fixed on the back surface of the high dielectric. A material body, which has a small relative dielectric constant such as air is stored in the casing or the outer shell. The antenna element is sandwiched between the material body having the small relative dielectric constant and the high dielectric. The high dielectric is formed from a material having a relative dielectric constant that is close to the relative dielectric constant of a medium material such as clay, sand, water and the like in the underground or the underwater.
