Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic core whose outer surface has been coated without handling brittle ribbon to thereby impart insulating properties and shape retention properties to the magnetic core after annealing heat treatment, and further provides an adhesive resin composition for a magnetic core, which is useful for efficiently producing the above-mentioned magnetic core without using any organic solvent and which per se is stable to heat and elapse of time. By forming a coating film having a certain thickness or more on an outer surface using a composition containing a resin of specific properties, there can be obtained a magnetic core whose outer surface has been coated without handling brittle ribbon to thereby impart insulating properties and shape retention properties to the magnetic core after annealing heat treatment.

Abstract: A piezoelectric unit is composed of a plurality of piezoelectric elements. In one embodiment, a first driving electrode is provided over the whole surface of the lower surface of the piezoelectric element. A second driving electrode is provided over the whole surface between the piezoelectric elements. The driving electrodes are connected to a driving signal source. Detection electrodes are provided on the upper surface of the piezoelectric element. At least one of the detection electrodes is connected to one of the output terminals and at least another of the detection electrodes is connected to the other of the output electrodes. One piezoelectric element is polarized upward and another piezoelectric element is polarized downward. A vertical 1st order vibration is driven in a longitudinal direction and a 2nd order bending vibration is detected by the detection electrodes, and a voltage proportional to a coriolis force (rotational angular velocity) is outputted.

Abstract: A piezoelectric oscillator element (100) constituting a piezoelectric transformer is supported by lead frames (32, 34, 36). One of the ends of the lead frame (32) is welded to a primary side electrode (22) at a connection portion (31), and the other end is welded to a land (42). One of the ends of the lead frame (34) is welded to a primary side electrode (24) at a connection portion (33) and the other end is welded to a land (44). One of the ends of the lead frame (36) is welded to a secondary side electrode (26) at a connection portion (35) and the other end is welded to a land (46). The connection portions (31 and 33) are positioned at a node A of oscillation. Since the electrical and mechanical connection is achieved by the lead frames (32, 34, 36), the structure is simple, the thickness of the oscillator is easily reduced, and the oscillator is easily assembled.

Abstract: A piezoelectric transformer has a piezoelectric substrate having first and second main faces. The substrate has first and second primary-side regions and a secondary-side region in its longitudinal direction in this order. The first region has a length of a half wavelength of stress distribution at the time of resonance in the longitudinal direction and has either positive or negative stress. The second region has a length of a half wavelength or less of the stress distribution and has either positive or negative stress. First and second electrode are respectively disposed on the first and second main faces in the first primary-side region, and the substrate between the first and second electrodes is polarized in the thicknesswise direction. Third and fourth electrodes are respectively disposed on the first and second main faces in the second primary-side region, and the substrate between the third and fourth electrodes is polarized in the thicknesswise direction.
