  • Patent number: 9013263
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wound iron core (3) for a static apparatus in which magnetic paths in the inside of the wound iron core are subdivided to improve iron core characteristics. The iron core (3) is configured by using two or more kinds of magnetic materials (11 to 14) with different magnetic permeabilities to form laminated blocks with single plates or a plurality of laminated plates and by alternately arranging the laminated blocks with different magnetic permeabilities from the inner circumference. An iron core material (14) with large magnetic permeability out of iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities is arranged on the inner circumference side. Further, when the iron core materials with different magnetic permeabilities are alternately arranged, the iron core materials (11) with the same magnetic permeability are configured to gradually change in thickness to ease an excessive magnetic flux density distribution in the iron core.

  • Patent number: 6960987
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fire alarm system for connecting a plurality of fire sensors to sensor lines, and giving an alarm in response to fire information output from the fire sensor in a line unit. The fire alarm system includes a current modulation section and an address specification section. The current modulation section is used for maintaining a current flowing in the sensor line at a predetermined value for a predetermined time at the time of a fire, and modulating the current in accordance with the inherent address information of the fire sensor. The address specification section is used for sensing fire information by judging whether or not the current has been maintained at the predetermined value for the predetermined time, and also for specifying the inherent address of the fire sensor that issued the fire information, from the modulated state of the current.

  • Patent number: 6914535
    Abstract: A light scattering type smoke sensor comprising a holder with openings embedded with light emitting part and light detecting part respectively, which do not protrude into the smoke detection chamber. The optical axis of light emitting part intersects at a predetermined first angle ? in the horizontal direction with the optical axis of the light detecting part at a predetermined second angle ? in the vertical direction. The optical axis of the light emitting part and optical axis of the light detecting part further comprise a configuration angle ? in the range of 90˜120 degrees used as the supplementary angle for the scattering angle ?. Accordingly, the smoke detection part is further constituted in a thin-shaped light scattering smoke sensor which enables the setup of a scattering angle with no directivity in the smoke influx to the smoke detection chamber.
