Patent number: 10845863Abstract: The electronic device includes a master element and a plurality of slave elements that are daisy-chain-connected. The slave element includes an input terminal connected to a slave element adjacently provided on the opposite side of the master element, an output terminal connected to the slave element adjacently provided on the side of the master element or the master element, and a first switch that is provided in a section between the input terminal and the output terminal used as a transmission path of transmission data and is connected to the transmission path in series. The master element receives the transmission data transmitted from the slave element to be the transmission source via the transmission path, and at least the slave element to be the transmission source includes a data transmission unit that is connected to the transmission path via a second switch and transmits the transmission data.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Kenji Konda, Kenichi Maruko, Hideyuki Suzuki

Patent number: 9167698Abstract: A surface mount clip including: a solder joint part in which a lower surface thereof is to be a solder joint surface to be soldered and connected to a conductor pattern on a printed circuit board. A pair of support parts are connected to the solder joint part and, when the solder joint part is soldered and connected to the printed circuit board, are supported in a position above the printed circuit board at an interval between the pair of support parts. The interval allows a conductive member, other than the printed circuit board, to be inserted therein. A resilient contact part, that is connected at least to one of the pair of support parts, is resiliently deformed and pressed by the conductive member, when the conductive member is inserted between the pair of support parts, and electrically connects the conductor pattern and the conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 20, 2015Assignee: Kitagawa Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Konda, Tomohisa Kurita, Hiroki Kitano, Tatsuya Nakamura, Hideo Yumi

Patent number: 8569626Abstract: A contact includes a solder bonding portion, an elastic contact portion, and a suction portion. An undersurface of the solder bonding portion is a solder bonding face which is to be solder bonded to the conductor pattern. The elastic contact portion is connected to one end of the solder bonding portion and bent over the solder bonding portion. When in contact with a conductive member, the elastic contact portion is pressed against the conductive member while being elastically deformed. The suction portion is connected to the solder bonding portion independently of the elastic contact portion. The suction portion is made a suction face for a suction nozzle of an automatic mounter, with its top end being arranged in parallel to the undersurface of the solder bonding portion on the conductive member side of the elastic contact portion.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2010Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Kitagawa Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomohisa Kurita, Hideo Yumi, Tatsuya Nakamura, Kenji Konda, Hiroki Kitano
