  • Patent number: 12543502
    Abstract: A piezoelectric coaxial sensor includes: a sensor portion including a center conductor having a linear shape, a polymer piezoelectric layer containing polyvinylidene fluoride and that covers an outer peripheral surface of the center conductor, and a first outer conductor that surrounds an outer peripheral surface of the polymer piezoelectric layer; and jacket layers that each include a film having a tape shape wound to surround an outer peripheral surface of the sensor portion. The film of at least one of the jacket layers exposed to the outside of the piezoelectric coaxial sensor among the other jacket layers is adhered to a member in contact with an adhesive layer by the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer includes a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 120° C. or lower.

  • Patent number: 12426508
    Abstract: A piezoelectric coaxial sensor includes: a center conductor including a conductive wire; a polymer piezoelectric layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the center conductor; a first outer conductor surrounding an outer peripheral surface of the polymer piezoelectric layer; a first jacket layer covering an outer peripheral surface of the first outer conductor; and a second outer conductor surrounding an outer peripheral surface of the first jacket layer. A voltage is generated between the center conductor and the first outer conductor based on induced charges generated in the polymer piezoelectric layer.

  • Patent number: 8753144
    Abstract: A connector assembly (1) includes a connector (10) including contact terminals (11), a cable (20) having conductors (221), and a wiring board (30) which electrically connects the connector (10) and the cable (20). The wiring board (30) includes first connecting portions (32) which are arranged at a first pitch (P1) and to which the contact terminals (11) are electrically connected, second connecting portions (33) which are arranged at a second pitch (P2) and to which the conductors (221) of the cable (20) are electrically connected, and wiring lines (34) which electrically connect the first connecting portions (32) and the second connecting portions (33). The first pitch (P1) is smaller than the second pitch (P2).
