  • Patent number: 7283636
    Abstract: The present invention provides a planer acoustic transducer including a vibrating diaphragm including a spiral voice coil provided on both surfaces or on one surface of an insulating base film; and a permanent magnet corresponding to the voice coil, wherein, in the vibrating diaphragm, the spiral voice coil is formed by applying a wire conductor, in a coil pattern, onto a sheet-like substrate having an adhesive layer on at least one surface thereof. Alternatively, at least a portion of the vibrating diaphragm, which portion corresponds to the loop of a first or second vibration mode, is reinforced with a rigidity-imparting member; the substrate of the vibrating diaphragm is formed of a resin foam; or the voice coil is formed three-dimensionally.

  • Patent number: 6653572
    Abstract: A multilayer circuit board formed by integrally laminating a plurality of printed wiring boards in a multilayer structure so as to provide air gaps therebetween. An insulating layer is formed on each of both surfaces of a metal core substrate having through-hole forming apertures and a printed wiring layer is formed on the each insulating layer. Metal projections integrally formed on the metal core substrate serve as bonding electrodes between the adjacent wiring boards in the multilayer structure. The width of the air gap provided between the adjacent wiring boards is determined by the height of the metal projections.

  • Patent number: 6630911
    Abstract: A compact antenna comprises a core which is a hard linear member having a predetermined shape corresponding to resonance characteristic, a conductor film which covers at least a portion of an outer surface of the core and which has higher electric conductivity than that of the core, and a substrate which closely surrounds and holds the outer surface of the core covered with the connection film. A film thickness of the conductor film is equal to a skin depth and thus, it is possible to inexpensively maintain reliability, and to prevent radiation efficiency from being lowered.

  • Publication number: 20020075186
    Abstract: A chip antenna comprises an antenna element, and a dielectric chip having the antenna element buried therein or stacked on a surface thereof. Particularly, the dielectric chip has a space area, for example, a flute for forming an air layer on an underside (in a surface not in contact with the antenna element). By varying the size of the flute, the antenna characteristic is tuned while consistently maintaining the outer dimensions of the chip antenna and a mounting height for the antenna element.

  • Patent number: 6347890
    Abstract: An optical ferrule is a molding of a resin composition comprising a base resin, silica, and whisker, as essential components. The resin composition has a melt viscosity of 300 to 600 [Pa×sec.] when measured at a shear rate of 900 [1/sec.] at a temperature of 340° C. by using a capillary having a diameter of 0.1 mm and a depth of 30 mm as defined by JIS-K-7199. Preferably, the base resin is a linear polyphenylene sulfide resin, and 250 to 300 parts by weight of silica and 10 to 70 parts by weight of whisker are blended with 100 parts by weight of the linear polyphenylene sulfide resin.
