  • Patent number: 10734726
    Abstract: A planar antenna includes a patch conductor formed on a front surface of a dielectric substrate 20 so to be obliquely arranged in relation to an orthogonal axis of the dielectric substrate, the patch conductor having an elliptic shape; a microstrip line 40 for feeding power to a bottom part of the patch conductor; and a ground conductor plate 50 formed on a back surface of the dielectric substrate at a position thereof that is not overlapped with the patch conductor. By forming the patch conductor to be inclined only by ?, circular polarization characteristics in which axial ratio is 3 dB or less are given and the wideband such that the frequency bandwidth in which VSWR characteristics are 2 or less is 2 through 5 GHz and the wideband in UWB High band can be attained. The antenna characteristics in which any radiation directivity on the zenith direction does not depend on the frequency are obtained.

  • Patent number: 8145020
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a direct light-triggered thyristor triggered by an optical gate signal, a first optical fiber connected to the direct light-triggered thyristor and through which the optical gate signal is transmitted, a second optical fiber used to extend the first optical fiber, and a inter-optical-fiber relaying unit configured to connect the first optical fiber to the second optical fiber and to input the optical gate signal output from the second optical fiber to the first optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 7922399
    Abstract: In a semiconductor apparatus, a plurality of light-triggered type semiconductor devices, each having a groove for burying of an optical fiber for supplying an optical gate signal to a housing of the light-triggered type semiconductor device, are connected in series. Device cooling heat sinks, each having a flow path for circulating a coolant medium and a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet communicating with the flow path, are disposed on both sides of the housing of each light-triggered type semiconductor device. The light-triggered type semiconductor devices and the device cooling heat sinks are coupled into a single structure. An optical fiber insertion groove, which corresponds in position to the groove of the housing, is provided on a side surface of the device cooling heat sink, which contacts a groove (4)-side surface of the housing of the light-triggered type semiconductor device.

  • Patent number: 5311964
    Abstract: The right and left front wheels of an asphalt finisher are each supported by a beam, one end of which is mounted to the body of the asphalt finisher by way of a pin such that the beam can swing, and the other end of the beam is mounted to the end of the piston rod of a hydraulic cylinder which is vertically mounted to the body of the asphalt finisher in a downward direction, both cylinders being connected to each other by way of a single oil line. As a result, when either one of the front wheels encounters an obstacle, the sideward inclination of the body can be eliminated.
