Patent number: 11456087Abstract: To provide a lead wire for narrow space insertion that is easily inserted into an elongated small-diameter pipe or small-diameter tube such as an ultrasonic probe or an electrode catheter. The above-described problem is solved by a lead wire for narrow space insertion including a copper alloy wire having a conductor diameter within a range of 0.015 to 0.18 mm, and an insulating layer provided to an outer periphery of the copper alloy wire. A friction coefficient of an outermost surface layer of the insulating layer is within a range of 0.05 to 0.3, a tensile strength of the lead wire is within a range of 700 to 1,500 MPa, and a conductivity of the copper alloy wire is within a range of 60 to 90% IACS.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: TOTOKU ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Kenji Saka, Hikaru Yamakoshi, Takashi Miyazawa

Patent number: 8803647Abstract: A reactor is provided with a coil, a core, and a case. The coil generates magnetic flux in response to supply of current thereto. The core is made of magnetic powder-containing resin filled in spaces inside and outside of the core. The case accommodates therein the coil and the core. The reactor is also provided with a cooling pipe (cooling member), which is arranged to be in contact with the core. A power converter is provided with semiconductor modules, a cooler, and the reactor. In the power converter, the cooler is arranged partially being in contact with the core of the reactor.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2007Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignees: Denso Corporation, NEC Tokin CorporationInventors: Kenji Saka, Kazuhiro Kosaka, Akira Nakasaka

Patent number: 8416044Abstract: A reactor is composed of a coil and a core placed in the inside area and outer peripheral area of the coil in a container. The core is composed of magnetic powder, non-magnetic powder, and resin. The non-magnetic powder is composed of main component powder and low elastic modulus powder. The main component powder as a main component of the non-magnetic powder is made of one or more kinds of powder of a heat conductivity which is larger than that of the resin. The low elastic modulus powder is made of one or more kinds of powder of an elastic modulus which is smaller than that of the powder forming the main component powder.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2009Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignees: Denso Corporation, NEC Tokin CorporationInventors: Kenji Saka, Takashi Yanbe

Patent number: 8215003Abstract: A method of fabricating a reactor composed of a coil, a core, and a container, capable of suppressing the core to break when a current flows in the coil to generate magnetic flux. In the method, the coil is formed by spirally winding a conductive wire. The coil is immersed in an insulating film in liquid with electrical insulation. The coil is placed in a furnace. Annealing for the coil and thermosetting for the insulating film are performed at a temperature within 250 to 320° C. for a period of time within 30 minutes to one hour before forming the core in the container. The coil is then disposed in the container. Inside and outside areas of the coil in the container is filled with a resin mixture composed of magnetic powder and resin. The resin mixture in the container is hardened to form the core.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignees: Denso Corporation, NEC Tokin CorporationInventors: Kenji Saka, Yousuke Setaka, Hiroyuki Katsuta, Takashi Yanbe

Patent number: 7092173Abstract: A lens holder portion 3 for holding an objective lens 5 is supported on an end side of each of four suspension wires 2 so that it is capable of moving in a focusing direction and in a tracking direction. Minute uneven faces 2a are formed in the surface of each suspension wire 2. Adhesive agent 11 which fixes each suspension wire 2 on the lens holder 3 and fixing member 4 invades into dented portions in this uneven face 2a and hardens, thereby producing an anchor effect to improve bonding strength. Consequently, in an objective lens drive unit 1 in which the lens holder 3 is supported by a plurality of suspension wires 2, bonding strength to the suspension wire 2 can be improved.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2004Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takahiro Miyagi, Yukihiko Koshimizu, Kenji Saka, Hiroshi Kitazawa
