  • Publication number: 20230296874
    Abstract: An optical signal detection device includes an objective and a gel unit including a gel and an assisting member. The assisting member includes a first surface, a second surface, and an opening. The opening has a diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the gel and larger than an effective diameter of the objective. The first surface faces the gel, and a part of the first surface is fixed to a bottom surface of the gel by an adhesive force. A center of the bottom surface is not in contact with the assisting member. In a state where the gel unit is attached to a frame member of the objective, the second surface faces the frame member of the objective, a part of the first surface is fixed to the gel outside the effective diameter of the objective, and the gel is in close contact with the objective.

  • Patent number: 11276523
    Abstract: An ignition coil includes a primary coil, a secondary coil, a primary bobbin, a secondary bobbin, a center core, and a mold resin. The center core has a pair of collar portions protruding from a main body of the center core respectively to opposite sides in a protruding direction. The primary bobbin has a collar portion at least partially sandwiched between the collar portions of the center core and the secondary bobbin in a coil axial direction. The collar portion of the primary bobbin includes an overlapping portion that overlaps the collar portions of the center core in the coil axial direction and is bonded to the collar portions. The primary bobbin is formed of a thermoplastic resin and dispersed-phase particles dispersed in the thermoplastic resin. In the overlapping portion of the primary bobbin, there is formed a specific separating layer that separates adjacent layers in the coil axial direction.

  • Patent number: 11067782
    Abstract: An objective includes the first and second groups. The first group includes the first cemented lens with a concave surface facing the object side, the first and second single lenses having positive power, and the second cemented lens with a concave surface facing an image side. The second group includes the third cemented lens with a concave surface facing the object side and a third single lens having positive power. Each of the cemented lenses combines one positive lens with one negative lens. The objective satisfies the following expressions. 0.31?NA<1??(1) 2.2?H/f?3.3??(2) 0<a/b?1.2??(3) Here, NA is a numerical aperture, f is a focal length at e-line, H is a distance from an object surface to a lens surface closest to an image, a is the sum of air-gap distances in the first group, and b is a thickness of a negative lens in the second cemented lens.

  • Patent number: 10680317
    Abstract: A vehicle antenna device has a stably held coil element while its winding shape is maintained, and the number of turns of the coil element winding is easily adjusted during production. A coil element is configured by forming a winding around a resin-made bobbin. A guide groove, which is a path of the winding, and a plurality of projections, which are along the path of the winding, are disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel of the bobbin. The guide groove spirally extends around the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel. The projections are disposed in plural numbers in each of a plurality of circumferential positions on the outer circumferential surface of the winding barrel. A winding end portion of the winding is drawn out in the axial direction while being hooked to an arbitrary one of the projections, and electrically connected to an upper terminal.
