  • Patent number: 6984887
    Abstract: A heatsink arrangement attached to a semiconductor device includes: a first heatsink placed in close contact with the semiconductor device; and second heatsink placed in close contact with the first heatsink, wherein the first heatsink and the second heatsink are connected to a power supply circuit for the semiconductor device via first connector and second connector, respectively. Thus, the present invention provides a heatsink arrangement for a semiconductor device used in an electric/electronic circuit that radiates less high-frequency noise even when a large current flows through the semiconductor device and that provides a high heat-radiating efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6765449
    Abstract: A pulse width modulation circuit of the present invention includes: pulse generation means being provided with a first power supply and charged with a first current and a second current between which a constant current is distributed to turn ON/OFF a switching element, thereby generating a pulse from a first output section; pulse modulation means for controlling the charging while controlling a distribution ratio between the first current and the second current based on an input signal, thereby changing a pulse width of the output pulse; and first short circuit means for shorting the first output section with the first power supply when the pulse being output from the first output section transitions to a voltage of the first power supply.

  • Patent number: 5240767
    Abstract: A nonwoven fabric, particularly composed by long-stock synthetic resin yarns such as polyethylene and polypropylene is provided at one or both surfaces thereof with an ink-setting layer formed by coating, drying and curing a resin composition containing some of acrylic resins, synthetic rubbers and polyester resins. The ink-setting layer is excellent in the transfer property and fixing ability to an oil ink which is ordinarily used for offset printing, and prevents the nonwoven fabric from being swelled or transformed by a petroleum high-boiling-point solvent contained in the oil ink. Preferably, a low-temperature cross-linking agent is incorporated with the resin composition of the ink-setting layer so as to complete cross-linking of the resin composition at a low temperature at which heat shrinkage or heat damage of the nonwoven fabric will not be caused, in a shortened period of time.

  • Patent number: 5198294
    Abstract: An air-filtering material exchangeably attached to a home-use or automobile air filter comprises a water jet type nonwoven fabric at an air outlet side and another type nonwoven fabric or fiber assembly at an air inlet side. These nonwoven fabric sheets are laminated on one another by needle punching. The water jet type nonwoven fabric is made from crowded finer fiber staples, and bits formed therein by penetration of needles of a needle punching machine may be stopped up by centripetally moving fiber staples surrounding the bits.
