  • Patent number: 11482374
    Abstract: The inductor component includes: coil portion around which lead wire is wound; lead-out portion at which an end portion of the lead wire is led out; connection line portion to which the lead-out portion is connected; outer terminal portion integrally formed with the connection line portion; and mold body which contains a magnetic material and in which the coil portion and the connection line portion are embedded. The connection line portion has a shape elongating along the lead-out portion, and includes a pair of first bonding pieces between the coil portion and terminal of the lead-out portion, the pair of first bonding pieces elongating from both sides of the connection line portion in mutually opposite directions. The pair of first bonding pieces has distal end sides each folded toward a part of the lead-out portion on the opposite side from the connection line portion.

  • Patent number: 6655728
    Abstract: A body structure of a vehicle having a cabin C and a compartment F.C, R.C is provided. The body structure includes a pair of laterally spaced side frame members 13,14 extending forwardly of the cabin at sides of the compartment. The side frame members 13,14 include widthwise rigidity lowering sections 21,52, respectively, to allow inward bending of a rear section 13R, 14R of each side frame member in a widthwise direction to provide an increased collapsible stroke for thereby effectively absorbing an energy in a wide range typically in a frontal impact.

  • Patent number: 6594076
    Abstract: An epi-fluorescence microscope includes: a light guiding device that guides illuminating light emitted by a light source by reflecting the illuminating light to implement epi-lighting on a test piece, and guides fluorescent light excited by the illuminating light and generated from the test piece to an observation unit by allowing the fluorescent light to be transmitted; and an inclined member that is provided on an optical path of transmitted light which is a part of the illuminating light and has been transmitted through the light guiding device instead of being reflected by the light guiding device, and has a surface inclined relative to the optical path.
