  • Patent number: 8692545
    Abstract: A magnetostrictive stress sensor (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) includes: a magnetic member {20, (107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112)} having a magnetostriction; a permanent magnet (30, 35, 113) adjacent to the magnetic member; a magnetic sensor (40, 104A, 104B) for detecting a leak magnetic flux on a side opposite to the permanent magnet with respect to the magnetic member, wherein the leak magnetic flux changes according to a stress acting on the magnetic member and the magnetic sensor detects the change of the leak magnetic flux, to thereby detect the stress acting on the magnetic member, and a direction (21, 108A, 109A) of the stress acting on the magnetic member is substantially orthogonal to a magnetizing direction (31, 31, 113A) of the permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 6974378
    Abstract: A ventilator includes: a plurality of louvers arranged in parallel from one end to the other end of one direction at a supply opening formed in a case; shaft pins respectively formed on both ends at one ends of the louvers and inserted into a plurality of shaft holes; the operation pins being inserted into a plurality of operation holes formed along a longitudinal direction of a link with predetermined intervals; and a standard louver being opened and closed with the shaft pins serving as a center of opening and closing, wherein, gaps (A) between the operation holes on the link are set so as to be larger than gap (B) between a line connecting the shaft pins of the standard louver and the operation pin.
