  • Patent number: 10543563
    Abstract: A conductive wire welded structure of which a stator is composed can be obtained using a conductive wire welding method in which a plurality of conductive wires are welded together using a high-frequency induction heating device. This conductive wire welding method involves performing a disposition step in which a plurality of conductive wires are made to intersect and the end of at least one of the conductive wires is disposed at a location that is extended from an intersection portion, and a welding step in which the end of the at least one conductive wire that is at a location extended from the intersection portion is welded outside an induction heating coil by induction heating, and the welded material thereof is solidified at the intersection portion.

  • Publication number: 20110310757
    Abstract: A monitoring node periodically transmits an active/inactive monitoring signal to selection target nodes. Upon receipt of the active/inactive monitoring signal, each selection target node calculates a current subscriber accommodated ratio, which is load information, creates an active/inactive monitoring response signal based on the load information, and transmits the active/inactive monitoring response signal to the monitoring node. Upon receipt of the active/inactive monitoring response signal from the selection target node, the monitoring node extracts the load information from the active/inactive monitoring response signal, determines the relevant acquisition ratio based on the load information, and performs the selection procedure of a destination node based on the determined acquisition ratio.

  • Patent number: 7948129
    Abstract: A conductive connecting member is connected to electric wire with insulating coating by a fusing process so that electric continuity therebetween is ensured. The conductive connecting member includes a connecting section and a groove portion. The connecting section is formed by being bent so as to have an inner surface including a bottom surface and both side surfaces to be bonded to the electric wire. The groove portion is formed in the inner surface of the connecting section. The groove portion has a longitudinal groove extending in a direction of the inner surface intersecting with a longitudinal direction of the electric wire. The groove portion is positioned substantially at a center of the longitudinal direction of the electric wire. The groove portion may further have an inclined groove obliquely extending from the longitudinal groove or a transverse groove extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal groove.
