  • Patent number: 11326984
    Abstract: There is provided a sensor including a sensor element, a substrate on which the sensor element is disposed, and a casing that accommodates the substrate. The casing has a doughnut shape, and has a connecting portion for externally connecting a wire. In a doughnut-shaped internal space of the casing, the substrate is disposed, and the wire is disposed in the connecting portion from a side of the substrate far from the connecting portion. A central cylinder portion is interposed between the substrate and the wire.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7122881
    Abstract: A wiring board houses a bare radio-frequency IC. Shield wiring films are provided above and below the IC. A plurality of shield interlayer-connection conductor films, i.e., shield via-holes, is provided so as to surround the IC. The shield wiring films and the shield interlayer-connection conductor films define a shield cage, which can electrostatically shield the IC. Thus, there is no need to attach a shield cap.
