  • Patent number: 10837394
    Abstract: A fuel injection controller includes a discharge switch that turns ON/OFF energization of a first energization path from a boost power source of a second booster circuit when a second control IC energizes a second solenoid, a first detection element that detects a value that depends on an energization state of the discharge switch, a constant current switch that turns ON/OFF energization of a second energization path from a power source voltage that outputs a lower voltage than a boost power source voltage when the second control IC energizes the second solenoid, a second element that detects a value that depends on an energization state of the constant current switch, and an energization path controller that switches energization to the second solenoid.

  • Patent number: 4874980
    Abstract: In a mechanical amplification mechanism for piezoelectric elements, a pair of lever arms, base block and a pair of fulcrum portions connecting therebetween are structured with a lamination of thin metal plates of a predetermined number. Each of thin metal plate has the thickness smaller than the width of the fulcrum portions and they are laminated such that the total thickness is larger than the width of the fulcrum portions. The lamination strength of thin metal sheets is improved by either caulking predetermined positions or inserting a bonding material between every thin metal plates.

  • Patent number: 4313084
    Abstract: A laminated structure comprises a plurality of double-layer capacitor unit cells, each having a high withstand voltage. A complete capacitor is made by laminating a plurality of unit cells of the double-layer capacitors type and by connecting a plurality of resistors, having substantially equal resistances, in parallel with the respective unit cells. In a preferred embodiment, a high-precision integrated voltage-equalizing resistor is prepared by laying linear resistors on a flexible sheet which is then wrapped around the laminated unit cells.
