Abstract: A driving device for three-phase alternating current synchronous motors controls state of charge of a capacitor, and a three-phase alternating current synchronous motor is started prior to the operation of the synchronous motor. Prior to control by a normal operation control unit, the state of charge of the capacitor is controlled by an initial state control unit and a synchronization control unit. Passage of large current through the capacitor immediately after the start of the execution of control by the normal operation control unit is suppressed. As a result, the operating state of the three-phase alternating current synchronous motor does not become unstable and the execution of control by the normal operation control unit can be started with the output voltage of the capacitor stable.

A pressure reducing valve is provided between a release chamber communicating with a reservoir and the booster fluid pressure generation chamber. At least one contraction portion is formed between an outer periphery of a front portion of the pressing rod and an inner periphery of a front portion of a valve seat member.

Abstract: Switching elements are driven by a control signal outputted from a control circuit, so that a rotating magnetic field is generated from a stator coil to rotate a rotor of a synchronous electric motor. The control signal is generated through use of a selected modulation scheme, which is selected from a plurality of modulation schemes. The control circuit determines which one of the modulation schemes is used as the selected modulation scheme based on a sensed voltage value of a voltage sensor, which senses an output voltage of a power supply device.

Abstract: In a semiconductor physical quantity sensor of electrostatic capacitance type, mutually facing peripheral areas (bonding areas) of a glass substrate and a silicon substrate are contacted for anodic bonding, while at the same time, both substrates have an anodic bonding voltage applied therebetween so as to be integrated. A fixed electrode is formed on a bonding face-side surface of the silicon substrate, while a movable electrode is formed on a bonding face-side surface of the semiconductor substrate. An equipotential wiring, which short-circuits the fixed electrode to the movable electrode as a countermeasure to discharge in anodic bonding, is formed on the bonding face-side surface of the glass substrate inside the bonding area before the anodic bonding. After the anodic bonding, the equipotential wiring is cut and removed.

Abstract: The micro relay of the present invention comprises a base substrate 3, an armature block 5, and a cover 7. The base substrate 3 has a storage recess 41 for accommodating an electromagnetic device 1. The storage recess is composed of a hole 41a penetrating the base substrate 3 and a thin storage recess lid fixed on the one surface of the base substrate to close the hole. The electromagnetic device 1 is isolated from a contact mechanism by the storage recess lid 41b to increase the reliability of the contacts. The electromagnetic device 1 includes a yoke 10, a coil 11 wound around the yoke to generate a flux in response to an exciting current, and a permanent magnet 12 secured to the yoke to generate a flux flowing through an armature 51 and the yoke 10. Because the permanent magnet 12 is secured to the yoke 10, this micro relay can reduce the thickness.

Abstract: A semiconductor acceleration sensor having beam parts formed in substantially L-shape to surround a weight part, wherein formed to surround a square part, as seen in plan view and constituting the weight part, are two elongated L-shaped beam parts, at locations close to proximal end portions of which are formed protruding portions protruding from a fixed part toward the weight part, and receiving recessed portions protruding from the weight part toward the fixed part to surround the protruding portions.
