Patent number: 6860954Abstract: A circuit board having coupled multilayered ceramic capacitors mounted thereon considerably reduces the generation of sounds developed by piezoelectric effects in the capacitors. A method for mounting the capacitors on the circuit board includes the step of forming lands for mounting the capacitors thereon at substantially plane-symmetrical positions on the front surface and the back surface of the circuit board, two lands at their substantially plane-symmetrical positions being connected each other. The capacitors, which are substantially identical each other, are then mounted on the lands of the front and the back surfaces such that the capacitors are disposed at substantially plane-symmetrical positions and electrically coupled to the lands.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2001Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Taiyo Yuden Co., Ltd.Inventor: Nobuo Mamada

Patent number: 5821843Abstract: A winding core is formed by extruding a kneaded material to be obtained by kneading a powdered magnetic material and a binder. A plurality of bundled conducting wires are wound around the winding core into a coiled shape. An external cover element is formed by extruding the kneaded material to enclose the plurality of conducting wires. The winding core and the external cover element are sintered such that the plurality of bundled conducting wires wound around the core into a coiled shape are deformed into a zigzag manner by the stress due to shrinkage of the external cover element at the time of sintering thereof. The partially manufactured product obtained by the preceding steps, is cut into a predetermined length to thereby obtain a plurality of chip inductor main bodies. An external electrode is formed on each of end surfaces of the respective chip inductor main bodies. The external electrode is connected to each end portion of the conducting wires.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1997Date of Patent: October 13, 1998Assignee: Taiyo Yuden Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Nobuo Mamada, Satoru Sekiguchi
