  • Publication number: 20240040692
    Abstract: A printed wiring board includes an insulating layer, a conductor layer formed on the insulating layer, an adhesive layer formed on the conductor layer such that the adhesive layer is covering an upper surface and a side surface of the conductor layer, and a resin insulating layer formed on the insulating layer such that the resin insulating layer is covering the conductor layer formed on the insulating layer. The conductor layer is formed such that the upper surface of the conductor layer has an unevenness having a root mean square roughness Rq of 0.23 ?m or less.

  • Patent number: 10281038
    Abstract: An actuator is applied to a shift by wire automatic transmission that operates in response to an electric signal output in accordance with an operation state of an operation member and that performs switching to a selected shift range, and rotates a control shaft provided in the automatic transmission about an axis line. The actuator includes: a case including an insertion hole through which the control shaft is inserted; a motor generating a driving force; gears contained in the case and transmitting the driving force to the control shaft; and an output shaft disposed coaxially with the insertion hole between the gears and the control shaft in the case, the output shaft allowing the control shaft to be inserted through the output shaft such that the control shaft is movable in a direction of the axis line and is rotatable about the axis line integrally with the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 7402354
    Abstract: A fuel cell apparatus includes a heat exchange unit including a laminated structure, a water entrance provided at the laminated structure and through which the water from the hot water storage unit flows into the laminated structure, and a water exit provided at the laminated structure and through which the water is discharged out of the laminated structure after the water passes through the laminated structure. The laminated structure is integrally formed into lamination by a heat exchanger for the fuel cell cooling water for recovering heat in the fuel cell cooling water and at least any one of a first heat exchanger for eliminating moisture contained in the fuel-containing material through the heat exchange, a second heat exchanger for eliminating moisture contained in a fuel off-gas through the heat exchange, and a third heat exchanger for eliminating moisture contained in an air off-gas through the heat exchange.
