  • Publication number: 20240096533
    Abstract: The coil component includes a coil, a first core having a first magnetic permeability, and a second core having a second magnetic permeability lower than the first magnetic permeability. The first core and the second core form a magnetic path. The coil forms two or more winding windows. The first core contacts with an entirety of one side line extending in a second direction of each of the winding windows, and protrudes from both ends of one side line of at least one of the winding windows. The second core contacts with three side lines other than the one side line of each of the winding windows. A surface resistance of the first core between two points that are 20 mm away from each other is not less than 5 ? after a high-temperature storage test. A drive frequency of the coil component is not less than 20 kHz.

  • Patent number: 7566261
    Abstract: In an air outlet device for a vehicle cabin, primary wind-direction adjustment plates are rotated between a parallel condition and a series condition, to thereby provide a wind distribution function of opening the outlet opening of a tubular body and adjusting the flow direction of air and a wind shutoff function of closing the outlet opening. Of the primary wind-direction adjustment plates, one primary wind-direction adjustment plate is configured such that its tip end edge gradually separates from an inner wall surface of the tubular body when the primary wind-direction adjustment plates are rotated so as to open the outlet opening. A secondary wind-direction adjustment plate is secured to the wind surface side of the primary wind-direction adjustment plate with a predetermined spacing formed therebetween. The secondary wind-direction adjustment plate rotates, together with the primary wind-direction adjustment plate, about the rotation center of the primary wind-direction adjustment plate.

Of the primary wind-direction adjustment plates, a certain primary wind-direction adjustment plate is configured such that its tip end edge gradually separates from an inner wall surface of the tubular body when the primary wind-direction adjustment plates are rotated so as to open the outlet opening. A secondary wind-direction adjustment plate is secured to the back of the certain primary wind-direction adjustment plate with a predetermined spacing formed therebetween. The secondary wind-direction adjustment plate rotates, together with the certain primary wind-direction adjustment plate, about the rotation center of the certain primary wind-direction adjustment plate.
