  • Booster that utilizes energy output from a power supply
    Patent number: 7449866
    Abstract: A booster circuit generates a boosted output by boosting a low voltage output supplied as a target to be boosted and feeds back a part of the boosted output, an output by the booster circuit itself, to the booster circuit as operation energy. An auxiliary booster circuit outputs start-up energy generated based on a low voltage output to the booster circuit as start-up energy that is necessary for starting up the booster circuit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: November 11, 2008
    Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation

  • Surface-treated magnesium or magnesium-alloy and process for surface treatment of magnesium or magnesium alloy
    Patent number: 4973393
    Abstract: An aluminum film is formed on the surface of a substrate magnesium or magnesium alloy, and the resulting product is heated in a non-oxidizing or reducing gas having a high hydrostatic pressure at a temperature ranging from the eutectic point of the magnesium or magnesium alloy and the different metal to a temperature at or below which neither of the magnesium or magnesium alloy and the different metal is molten. This treatment provides a boundary layer between the aluminum film and the magnesium or magnesium alloy. This boundary layer is free from pinholes running from the interface of the aluminum film and the boundary layer to the magnesium or magnesium alloy ground. This surface-treated magnesium or magnesium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance surface electric conductivity, thermal conductivity and heat shock resistance.

  • Surface-treated magnesium or magnesium alloy, and surface treatment process therefor
    Patent number: 4770946
    Abstract: An oxidized film is formed on the surface of Mg or an Mg alloy, and a thermosetting resin film is formed on the oxidized film. A conductive film is further formed on the thermosetting film. The surface film of the Mg or Mg alloy thus surface-treated has a strong adhesion to the Mg or Mg alloy. The surface-treated Mg or Mg alloy has an excellent corrosion resistance, an excellent heat shock resistance, and a high surface conductivity.
