Patent number: 8353103Abstract: A method of manufacturing multilayer printed wiring hoard in which electric connectivity and functionality are obtained by improving reliability and particularly, reliability to the drop test can be improved. In the inventive method, no corrosion resistant layer is formed on a solder pad on which a component is to be mounted so as to obtain flexibility. Thus, if an impact is received from outside when a related product is dropped, the impact can be buffered so as to protect any mounted component from being removed. On the other hand, a land in which the corrosion resistant layer is formed by the method is unlikely to occur contact failure even if a carbon pillar constituting an operation key makes repeated contacts.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: IBIDEN Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuhiro Watanabe, Michimasa Takahashi, Masakazu Aoyama, Takenobu Nakamura, Hiroyuki Yanagisawa

Publication number: 20130009587Abstract: A motor control device has a motor driving unit that drives a motor, a current detecting unit that detects a motor current flowing through the motor, a control unit that compares a detected current value of the motor current detected by the current detecting unit with a target current value to obtain a deviation, to control the motor driving unit based on the deviation, and a compensation unit that sets as a current offset value a detected current value of a drift current detected by the current detecting unit in a state where the motor current is regarded as zero, to compensate the detected current value of the motor current by the current offset value. The compensation unit sets a target offset value according to the current value of the detected drift current to correct the current offset value stepwise until the current offset value reaches the target offset value.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2012Publication date: January 10, 2013Applicant: OMRON AUTOMOTIVE ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Michisada Yabuguchi, Tetsuya Fukumoto, Takenobu Nakamura
