Publication number: 20080298519Abstract: The enclosure of the receiver device is divided into an antenna vicinity enclosure 1 and a demodulation unit enclosure 2, which are connected by a single transmission cable. By disposing the antenna vicinity enclosure 1 in the vicinity of the antenna, the high frequency feeder cable drawn from the antenna to the antenna vicinity enclosure 1 can be shortened. The effect of pulse noise and high frequency noise picked up by the conventional feeder cable can therefore be reduced. Furthermore, the length of the feeder cables in a quantity corresponding to the number of antennas is then reduced and the wiring space for the feeder cable can be reduced. The demodulation unit enclosure 2 is disposed spaced apart from the antenna, and the wiring space for the transmission cable can be greatly reduced in comparison with a case where a plurality of feeder cables are wired in the wiring space.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2006Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: FUJITSU TEN LIMITEDInventors: Koichi Tsutsui, Kazuo Takayama, Masaaki Nagami, Takeshi Miyano

Patent number: 5928731Abstract: A high voltage generated by a high voltage generator is applied to corona electrodes, and powder supplied from a powder flow passage collides against a diffuser main body while being moved in a vortex by air ejected from a vortex air introduction port and is ejected from a nozzle opening. After the powder is charged by ions generated by corona discharge, it is sprayed to an object to be coated. Free ions generated by the corona discharge are trapped by ion trap electrodes. The adhesion of the powder can be prevented by the ejection of compressed air through a diffuser front portion cover and an outer cylinder cover each composed of a porous member and the ejection of compressed air from a nozzle hole.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 1997Date of Patent: July 27, 1999Assignees: Nihon Parkerizing Co., Ltd., Nippon Paint Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenzo Yanagida, Mituyosi Kumata, Masahiro Yamamoto, Shannon Libke, Takao Amasaki, Koichi Tsutsui
