  • Patent number: 8791866
    Abstract: A non-feeding element is provided with a proximity-providing gap from a feeding element, and a resonant state is generated there by capacitive coupling. The non-feeding element resonates at a frequency different from a resonant frequency of the feeding element. The feeding element and the non-feeding element have alongside-ground-terminal extending portions spaced from an edge surface at one end of a ground surface formed on the circuit board and to extend in a direction along the edge surface at the one end of the ground surface. The feeding element and/or the non-feeding element is formed three-dimensionally with a plurality of bending portions so that at least parts of the alongside-ground-terminal extending portion of the feeding element and the ground-terminal extending portion of the non-feeding element have substantially the same amount of spacing from the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 7767044
    Abstract: Disclosed is an efficient heat treatment method which can be performed in a short time. Specifically disclosed is a method for heat-treating a steel material wherein a plastically deformed steel work is introduced into a heat treatment furnace when the work still retains the heat applied thereto during the plastic deformation, then the work is heated preferably at a heating rate of 15-50 DEG C./min and held at a temperature between Ac1 and Ac3 for 10 minutes or less, and then the work is slowly cooled at a cooling rate of 5-45 DEG C./min. This heat treatment method enables to easily produce a steel material having a uniform metal structure by simple facilities.

  • Patent number: 6396442
    Abstract: A circularly polarized antenna device in which a recess is formed in the bottom surface of a dielectric base, and in which a feeder circuit is formed on an area of the top surface of a feeder circuit board covered by the recess. A shield for the feeder circuit is provided inside the recess. A feeder electrode is formed on an outer peripheral side surface of the dielectric base so as to be separated from a radiation electrode. A feeder wiring pattern which connects the feeder circuit and the feeder electrode so that they are in electrical conduction is formed on the top surface of the feeder circuit board. Electrical power supplied to the feeder electrode from the feeder circuit through the feeder wiring pattern is transmitted to the radiation electrode by capacitive coupling. Since the feeder circuit and the shield are accommodated inside the recess of the dielectric base, it is possible to restrict the bulkiness of the circularly polarized antenna device, and, thus, to make it thin.

  • Patent number: 6392602
    Abstract: A radiation electrode is formed on the upper face of the substantially columnar dielectric substrate. Feed electrodes for a fundamental mode and for a higher mode are formed on the side peripheral face of the dielectric substrate. Power is supplied through the respective feed electrodes to the radiation electrode via capacitive coupling. The radiation electrode has both of the functions in the fundamental and higher modes. Thus, the circular polarized wave antenna can be reduced in size. Furthermore, since a capacitive feeding system is employed as described above, the respective resonance frequencies in the fundamental and higher modes can be easily adjusted and set at predetermined frequencies. Also, the circularly polarized wave characteristics in the fundamental and higher modes can be easily enhanced, respectively.

  • Patent number: 6384786
    Abstract: A patch type radiation electrode is formed in the central area of the upper face of a dielectric substrate. First and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are formed on respective right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode so as to sandwich the patch type radiation electrode. The first and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are symmetrical with respect to the patch type radiation electrode. If a microstrip type radiation electrode is formed on either one of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode become unsymmetrical, due to effects of the microstrip type radiation electrode. On the other hand, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode can be made symmetrical by forming the microstrip type radiation electrodes on both of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode.
