  • Publication number: 20080141794
    Abstract: A second tank for accommodating a sample is disposed within a first tank. A heater for heating gas is provided inside the second tank. A heater controller controls the heater such that temperature of gas becomes a set temperature. A guide portion which guides condensed dew such that the condensed dew can flow downward and reach the outer surface of the second tank is provided on the inner surface of the first tank.

  • Publication number: 20060192767
    Abstract: A transparent touch panel comprises a transparent first substrate (110) and a second substrate (130) that each has a transparent electro-conductive layer (111, 131) on one surface and that are arranged with a predetermined interval between each other such that the transparent electro-conductive layers (111, 131) are facing each other. Each of the transparent electro-conductive layers (111, 131) has a pair of electrodes (112, 112) and (132, 132) disposed on each end. Lead-out terminals (114, 114) and (134, 134) are connected to each electrode (112, 132) through surrounding circuits (113, 133) formed on the peripheral edges of the transparent first substrate (110) and the second substrate (130). Lead-out terminals (114, 134) are arranged on each of the opposing surfaces of the transparent first substrate (110) and of the transparent second substrate (130), and a plurality of holding members (80, 80), (81, 81) for holding the edges of the transparent first substrate (110) is provided.

  • Publication number: 20060163958
    Abstract: A connector part extends outward of a yoke housing from a holder base and is connectable with an external connector to receive an electric signal. A contact base extends from the holder base into an interior of the gear housing through a communication hole, which is formed in a yoke housing side end of the gear housing. The contact base supports terminals, which provide an electrical connection between stationary contacts and brushes. An intermittent drive unit is installed to the connector part to intermittently drive an armature through the brushes based on the electric signal received from the external connector.

  • Patent number: 6803687
    Abstract: A unit plate, which holds electric circuit components including power supply terminals, is secured to a housing cover, which is, in turn, connected to a housing to close an opening of the housing. The housing cover includes guide walls, which extend in a direction generally parallel to a fitting direction of an external connector to guide the unit plate in such a manner that a second end of each power supply terminal held by the unit plate is received in a connector housing part of the housing cover, which is connected with the external connector, at time of installing the unit plate to the housing cover. The unit plate includes a rotation support arrangement, which rotatably supports a rotator. The electric circuit components also include stationary contact members, each of which includes a contact section that is slidably engageable with a movable contact of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 5983484
    Abstract: A method of making an electric motor where the motor has a reduction gear and a gear cover mounted thereon. An opening is formed through the gear cover at a location corresponding to a connection portion. A pressure member is inserted into the gear cover through the opening and is pressed against another pressure member to squeeze a choke coil and a connection plate. High current may flow through the pressure members for a short time to weld the choke coil and the connection plate together by way of resistive heating.

  • Patent number: 5747901
    Abstract: An electric motor has a detachably mounted gear cover and a reduction gear located within the gear cover. One pressure member is inserted into the gear cover through an opening formed through the gear cover and urged against another pressure member to squeeze a choke coil and a connection plate. A high current is flowed through the pressure members for a short time to weld the choke coil and connection plate together through resistive heating.
