  • Patent number: 10454451
    Abstract: A composite filter device includes a first filter and a plurality of second filters with different passbands. End portions of the first filter and the plurality of second filters are connected to a common connection. The first filter includes a piezoelectric substrate made of LiNbO3, an IDT electrode provided on the piezoelectric substrate, and a dielectric layer provided on the piezoelectric substrate so as to cover the IDT electrode. The first filter utilizes a fundamental wave of Rayleigh waves. The passband of the first filter is arranged in a frequency band that is lower than any of the passbands of the plurality of second filters.

  • Patent number: 9365000
    Abstract: The invention allows the relaxation of the precision of fitting the inner lid to the cap body while making removal of the inner lid more reliable. In the bottle unit of the tire puncture repair kit that has an extraction cap attached to the mouth portion of the bottle container, the extraction cap is provided with: a first flow channel for taking in compressed air from a compressor into the bottle container; a second flow channel for successively taking out the puncture repair liquid and compressed air from the bottle container; and first and second closing means for closing the first and second flow channels in the pre-coupling state. The extraction cap is provided with a release means for releasing the second closing means and opening the second flow channel when connection occurs.

  • Patent number: 7688159
    Abstract: A SAW duplexer includes a first SAW filter having a passband with a relatively low frequency, and a second SAW filter having a passband with a relatively high frequency. The first and second SAW filters each have a ladder-shaped circuit configuration. A bridging inductor is connected in parallel to at least one serial arm resonator in the second SAW filter. The bridging inductor includes a coiled portion provided on a multilayer package substrate. The coiled portion is defined by connecting first to third wires provided on first to third layers by via-hole conductors. First, third, and fifth via-hole conductors that define a coil return wire portion are disposed inside the coiled portion.

  • Patent number: 7327206
    Abstract: A surface acoustic wave branching filter reduces deterioration of the insertion loss and improves the isolation characteristics. The surface acoustic wave filter includes first ends of a first acoustic wave filter, having a relatively low passband, and a second acoustic wave filter, having a relatively high passband, connected to a first common terminal which is connected to an antenna. A resonator of the first surface acoustic wave filter, among a plurality of parallel-arm resonators and a plurality of series-arm resonators, which is closest to the first common terminal is a parallel-arm resonator. The capacitance of the parallel-arm resonator that is closest to the first common terminal is less than ½ of the capacitance of the other parallel-arm resonators.
