  • Patent number: 9797125
    Abstract: A cutout part is formed at the approximate center of the connecting member. The cutout part in the connecting member is a circular penetrating hole that penetrates a convex part and a main body part. On the side of a lower surface of the connecting member, the convex part is formed around the cutout part. The convex part includes a tapered part and a rib. The tapered part gradually inclines in the direction toward the center from the side of the main body part (the side of the base part of the convex part) to the tip side (the side of the top part thereof). The rib part is formed on the edge part of the cutout part, which is the top part of the tapered part. The rib part is a part that protrudes downward from the top part of the tapered part.

  • Publication number: 20160237681
    Abstract: A column base structure is provided that is capable of enhancing the energy absorption capability of the column base structure, thereby preventing the building structure from being damaged, broken and collapsed, and also preventing the column base structure and the building structure from being increased in size, weight and cost. The column base structure contains a junction fitting 42 joined to a lower end of a column member 4, the junction fitting 42 being fixed in a peripheral portion thereof with an anchor bolt 10 that protrudes upward from foundation concrete 3, the anchor bolt 10 yielding before the column member 4, a first bending moment Ma that initiates yield of the anchor bolt 10 being larger than a second bending moment Mb that initiates yield of the peripheral portion of the junction fitting 42, and being 1.5 times or less the second bending moment Mb.

  • Patent number: 9353544
    Abstract: A column base fitting 42 includes a bottom plate 42c having an approximately square plate shape and a support base 42f inside from the peripheral part of an upper surface 42d of the bottom plate 42c. A first bolt insertion holes 42a is formed in each four corner portions of the bottom plate 42c and a second bolt insertion hole 42b is formed at two positions closer to the center part than the first bolt insertion hole 42a, in the length direction of each four sides of the bottom plate 42c. A corner built-up portion 42r is formed at both ends in the length direction of the side surface 42h of the support base 42f, having a shape protruding outward in the perpendicular direction from the side surface 42h and filling the corner portion between the side surface 42h and an upper surface of the bottom plate 42c.

  • Patent number: 7923621
    Abstract: A tempo analyzer to analyze the tempo of sound such as a musical composition or the like is provided in which a controller (9) takes, based on level information on a sound signal from an analysis data extraction unit (62), a frame which is a predetermined unit-time interval as a unit of process, detects positions of peaks of the level of the sound signal (apex of the change in level) higher than a predetermined level to find a time interval (peak-to-peak interval) between the peak positions in the frame, and determines a peak-to-peak time interval having occurred frequently as a tempo.

  • Patent number: 6225664
    Abstract: In an IC driver using SOI dielectric isolation structure having a lower and an upper arm side drivers, the upper arm side driver operates in a floating state, a carrier injector region is disposed in an semiconductor island where a switching device for the upper-side circuit is formed. The IC driver drives a set of an upper-side and a lower-side output power devices, a first main electrode of the upper-side output power device is connected to a high level power supply, a second main electrode of the upper-side output power device is connected to a first main electrode of the lower-side output power device, a second main electrode of the lower-side output power device is connected to ground potential (GND). The carrier injector region is formed deeper than a couple of main electrode regions of the switching device in the upper arm side driver. Moreover, this injector region is connected to an intermediate potential at connecting terminal of the upper-side and the lower-side output power devices.
