Patent number: 8569635Abstract: A weight sensor includes a deformable body, a first strain resistor provided on an outer side surface of the deformable body, and a pressing member applying a load to the deformable body. The deformable body includes a tubular portion having a tubular shape extending along a center axis and surrounding the center axis, and a projection projecting from an inner surface of the tubular portion. The pressing member moves along the center axis so as to apply a moment to the tubular portion. The resistances of the strain resistors change greatly, allowing the weight sensor to measure a load with high sensitivity.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Ohbayashi Masahiko, Motoki Ogata, Hiroaki Ishida, Takaaki Ogawa, Kazuhiro Nomura

Patent number: 7306640Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a first dirt separation unit and a second dirt separation unit. The first dirt separation unit has a first inlet port through which a suction air stream including dirt particles is introduced thereinto, and the second dirt separation unit has a second inlet port through which the air stream introduced into the first dirt separation unit is introduced into the second dirt separation. The first and the second inlet port are disposed such that they are not registered with each other. Accordingly, the dirt particles suctioned are separated in two stages, thereby decreasing the possibility of occlusion of a filter and rapid deterioration of a suction force.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiki Kuroki, Seiji Yamaguchi, Tomonori Kato, Masashi Okushima, Yuichi Shimizu, Tomomi Mitani, Hiroshi Mori, Toru Odachi, Yoshiaki Onishi, Hidenori Kitamura, Toshifumi Miyahara, Takaaki Ogawa, Hirokazu Nagaoka
