  • Publication number: 20050176295
    Abstract: A waterproof electrical connector comprises first and second connectors which are connected to each other. The first connector comprises a first housing in a cylindrical shape having a fitting recess. The second connector comprises a second housing. A sealing member held in a holding groove on the outer periphery of the second housing seals the fitting recess in a state where it is fitted in the fitting recess. The second housing has first and second sections on both sides with the holding groove interposed therebetween. The first section comprises a plurality of cylindrical sections extending along a connector connection direction from a peripheral sidewall adjacent to the holding groove. The cylindrical section comprises guiding sections inserted into the fitting recess prior to inserting the sealing member into the fitting recess for guiding the insertion of the sealing member into the fitting recess.

  • Patent number: 6909590
    Abstract: A capacitor has electrodes at surfaces thereof, with one of the electrodes secured onto one surface of a grounding metal. Through conductors pass through the capacitor and the grounding metal and are connected to the other electrodes so as to achieve electrical continuity. An insulating case is provided at one surface of the grounding metal, with one end of the insulating case fitted around the external circumference of the raised portion of the grounding metal. Insulating resin fills a space inside the insulating case, the internal space of the grounding metal and a space around the capacitor. The insulating resin comprises an epoxy resin containing a brominated fire retardant, and the brominated fire retardant is a brominated aromatic glycidyl ether.

  • Publication number: 20050000363
    Abstract: Provided are an adsorption sheet and an air-purifying filter, which can have low air-flow resistance and high deodorizing performance and be resistant to clogging by dust, from which a powdered adsorbent can hardly drop off, and in which any attached agent can hardly lose its effect. Such a product can be obtained by a process including the steps of: sufficiently premixing an agent-bearing activated carbon powder and a powdered thermoplastic resin to form a mixed powder; then spreading the mixed powder on a base sheet having a certain bulkiness and bearing an agent; stacking an air-permeable sheet thereon; and hot-pressing them.

  • Publication number: 20040198130
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing plasma display panels and a firing device that allows preferable firing of panel components by cleaning each setter. Cleaning means 105 provided in lower passage 23c allows removal and cleaning of abrasion powder generated while setter 103 is transported by rotation of rollers 22a, 23a, and 24a. This reduces attachment or mixing of abrasion powder to a panel component.

  • Publication number: 20040188315
    Abstract: A PTP case includes a case body having first and second sheet members that are overlapped to each other so as to place a PTP therebetween. The PTP has at least one blister each containing one or more pills. The first sheet member has at least one elongated hole, through which the at least one blister protrudes to the outside, so that the at least one blister is pressed along the at least one elongated hole, thereby sliding PTP along the first and second sheet members. The second sheet member has at least one take-out portion located facing to the at least one elongated hole at such a position as to be matched in position to the at least one blister of the PTP when the PTP has been slid to a predetermined point.

  • Patent number: 6495061
    Abstract: A mixed refrigerant comprising one member selected from R-23, R-116 and a mixture thereof and one member selected from propane, butane and a mixture thereof. The mixed refrigerant allows cooling the inside of a freezer to a super low temperature, particularly to a temperature of −60° C. or lower, with a compressor of a conventional freezer. The mixed refrigerant not only has a low boiling point similar to those of R-23 and R-116, but also can be liquefied in a room temperature surrounding due to propane or butane contained therein, and further has good miscibility with a lubricating oil or the like so that a freezer unit using the refrigerant is free from the problem of clogging therein. Additionally, the mixed refrigerant has no ability to deplete ozone and is significantly low with respect to greenhouse effect.
