Patent number: 9515649Abstract: A cascode circuit (1) is provided with a switching element (Q1) which is normally off by default, a switching element (Q2) and a clamp circuit (10). A source of the switching element (Q2) is connected to a drain of the switching element (Q1). The cascode circuit (1) engages in a normally-off operation through a gate driving circuit (100) connected to a gate of the switching element (Q1). The clamp circuit (10) is provided between a power source terminal (P) of the gate driving circuit (100) and the drain of the switching element (Q1). A power source (E) is connected to the power source terminal (P). When the gate driving circuit (100) operates to turn off the switching element (Q1) and the switching element (Q2), the clamp circuit (10) clamps a voltage between the drain and the source of the switching element (Q1) to a power source voltage (V) supplied from the power source (E).Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2013Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Kazuya Abe

Patent number: 9308541Abstract: The object of the present invention is to improve a pump-dispensing container structured to prevent leakage of liquid caused by slight vertical movements of the nozzle head, to make it easier to push out the liquid when the nozzle head is pressed down first from its highest position. If a primary check valve is configured to open the connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body in a state in which the liquid chamber is filled with a liquid and the nozzle head is raised to its highest position, when the nozzle head is pressed down from its highest position to push out the liquid, resistance met during the pressing down of the nozzle head is significantly reduced because of the open connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body, and the liquid can be pushed out easily by applying a small force.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2013Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Daiwa Can CompanyInventors: Shoji Uehria, Tomoko Okada, Kazuya Abe, Osamu Yoshida
