  • Publication number: 20240128004
    Abstract: A highly reliable multilayer coil component in which the internal stress is further alleviated, and a method for producing the same. The method produces a multilayer coil component that includes an insulator portion, a coil that is embedded in the insulator portion and includes a plurality of coil conductor layers electrically connected to one another, and an outer electrode that is disposed on a surface of the insulator portion and is electrically connected to an extended portion of the coil. The method includes forming a conductive paste layer by using a conductive paste; forming an insulating paste layer by using an insulating paste; forming a multilayer compact that includes the conductive paste layer and the insulating paste layer; and firing the multilayer compact, in which the conductive paste has a PVC of 60% or more and 80% or less (i.e., from 60% to 80%).

  • Patent number: 5832757
    Abstract: A latch device arrangement for a vehicle comprises a main engaging assembly attached to a vehicle body, a sub engaging assembly attached to a movable roof which is displaceable between a storing position and a lifted position and engageable with the main assembly for holding the roof in the storing position. The sub assembly has a ratchet for holding the engagement of the main and sub assemblies. The main assembly has a ratchet lever which comes into contact with the ratchet to release the engagement of the main and sub assemblies. The arrangement further has an open lever connected to the ratchet lever, a rotating handle rotating the open lever from a standby position toward an operating position, and a lock pin displaceable between a locked position and an unlocked position.

  • Patent number: 4994970
    Abstract: A moving type working robot comprises a vehicle provided with a means for setting a traveling course between a position of stopping its working operation and an accumulating/replenishing place on the basis of positional information of the position where the working was stopped and the position of the place where the material loaded on the vehicle is to be accumulated/replenished. The positional information is stored in storing means and a control means is provided for traveling the vehicle from said accumulating/replenishing place to said position at which the working had been stopped, or vice versa, along said traveling course when the amount of the material loaded on the vehicle has reached a predetermined value.
