  • Patent number: 11532847
    Abstract: A battery pack includes: a connector holder that is fixed to an exterior case and has two main surfaces that include a first main surface exposed through an opening of the exterior case; a floating connector connected with a center of the connector holder in such a manner that the floating connector floats in such a manner that an orientation or a position of the floating connector is variable upward, downward, leftward, and rightward; a lead wire fixed to an inner surface of the floating connector, the lead wire extending through an inside of the exterior case, and the lead wire connecting floating connector with a circuit board; and a positioning buffer that pushes the floating connector, and positions the floating connector at a predetermined original state when an external force is not applied to the floating connector.

  • Patent number: 11276906
    Abstract: The battery module has a structure in which a plurality of batteries are arranged at fixed positions by a battery holder, a lead plate is connected to a projecting electrode of each of the batteries, a potting resin is thermally coupled to the lead plate, the battery holder includes an outer peripheral cover having an electrode window to expose the projecting electrode, the lead plate has a connection recess that is locally formed in a planar part to let a protrusion face protrude toward the projecting electrode through the electrode window, and a sealing label is put into intimate contact with the planar part of the lead plate to close an opening of the connection recess. This structure prevents the potting resin from flowing into an outlet formed in the projecting electrode.

  • Patent number: 8693680
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a telephone and it is an object to make a speech without dropping a telephone even when the telephone miniaturized. Then, in order to achieve the object, the present invention includes a main body case 5, a microphone 8 and a receiver 9 provided on a front surface side of the main body case 5. A display part 7 is arranged between the receiver 9 and the microphone 8. The microphone 8, the receiver 9 and the display part 7 are provided on the front surface of the main body case 5, 50 or 51. On a back surface of the main body case 5, 50 or 51, a slip preventing part 13 that prevents the telephone from being dropped is provided. The slip preventing part 13 is arranged in an opposite side to the display part 7 on the back surface of the main body case 5, 50 or 51.

  • Patent number: 8507873
    Abstract: A detector 32 measures the value of the current formed by reflected electrons generated as a result of irradiation of a reference mark on a substrate with an electron beam 54, where the reference mark is made of a material having a different reflectance than the substrate. The signal from the detector 32 is amplified by a detecting unit 33 and converted to a digital signal by an A/D conversion unit 34. A control computer 19 then performs averaging processing on the digital signal which is then used for drift compensation by a writing data correcting unit 31.

  • Patent number: 7161085
    Abstract: A thin flat twisted-pair gap cable and gap navigator unit reduces the diameter of twisted-pair wire, aligns them side by side, and fuses and fixes them in place with two plies of tape so as to flatten the conventional round twisted-pair cable in order to pass the conventional round twisted-pair cable used for high-speed transmission through a gap in a window sash or the like. Two core wires each consisting of a small-diameter conductor covered with an insulating covering of PE or the like are twisted together evenly to make the twisted-pair wires, with the necessary number of twisted-pair wires aligned side by side. The insides of two plies of plastic tape are coated with a thermoplastic adhesive and the aforementioned cable is inserted into and sandwiched between the two plies of plastic tape and the tape fused together so that the twisted-pair wires aligned side by side come in the middle of the width of the tape to form a flattened gap cable.
