  • Patent number: 7701296
    Abstract: A current limiting circuit is connected to the gate (input terminal) of an amplifying transistor. The current limiting circuit includes a protecting transistor, a first protecting resistor connecting the drain to the gate of the protecting transistor, and a second protecting resistor connecting the source to the gate of the protecting transistor. The current limiting circuit limits current, so that electric power larger than the maximum electric power allowable for the amplifying transistor does not pass.

  • Patent number: 7691483
    Abstract: The resin-coated metal sheet is composed of: a metal sheet; a lower resin layer containing a hydrophilic copolyester, formed on at least one side of the metal sheet; and an upper resin layer containing a polyester containing a diol component composed of a diol derivative of 1 to 10% by mole of alicyclic compound and 99 to 90% by mole of ethylene glycol, and a dicarboxylic acid component consisting of terephthalic acid, formed on the lower resin layer. The sum of cyclic trimer of alkylene terephthalate existing in the upper resin layer and the lower resin layer is 0.9% or less by mass. Since the manufacture of food cans using the resin-coated metal sheet does not induce white haze phenomenon and retort blushing phenomenon on outer surface of the can even after retorting, the decorative appearance on outer surface of the can is not deteriorated.
