Patent number: 7347699Abstract: A contactor (20) has a joint portion (27) which is jointed to each contactor pad (32) of one wiring board (30) by using a solder at one end portion thereof and a connecting portion (24) which is dip-soldered in each through hole (35) of the other wiring board (33) at the other end portion thereof. A housing (1) is constituted by integrally molding a housing main body (1F) having a U-like shape as seen from a plane and a reinforcing bar portion (2) which connects intermediate portions of opposed parts (1A) and (1B) of the housing main body (1F) with each other. Cavities (3) are substantially linearly formed in the housing main body (1F) at predetermined intervals. The contactors (20) are inserted into cavities (3), and the contactors (20) are movably held in the housing (1) with a holding member.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 25, 2008Assignees: Hirose Electric Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kensaku Sato, Akira Shirai, Yoshikazu Suzuki, Hironao Hayashi, Akira Ishimaru, Tomokiyo Suzuki, Osamu Kuriyagawa, Iori Kobayashi, Kensuke Nakanishi

Patent number: 7268539Abstract: A pulse signal generator using a magnetic device that can cause a large Barkhausen effect, comprises means having a number of pits and projections and generates pulses according to the behavior of these, the means being capable of moving the pits and projections in a first or second direction, the pits and projections being disposed in the moving direction with some of the projections missing or some of the pits filled. The value of the ratio between the time interval of pulses generated by portions other than a projection-missing portion and the time interval of pulses generated by the projection-missing portion or the value of the ratio between the time interval of pulses generated by portions other than a pit-filled portion and the time interval of pulses generated by the pit-filled portion differs between when the pits and projections move in the first or second direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: September 11, 2007Assignees: Hirose Electric Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kensaku Sato, Masami Tanaka, Tadashi Kubota, Hideki Sakamoto, Makoto Kobayashi, Satoshi Yamaguchi, Mamoru Hasegawa, Yuichi Shimasaki
