Patent number: 11306398Abstract: A conductive portion of a circuit body is formed by performing spraying on a surface of a resin casing. For spraying of the conductive portion, a cold spray method in which metal powder and inert gas are sprayed to an object is used. A circuit component is mounted on the conductive portion. Each terminal portion of the conductive portion is provided with a connector for connection with an external circuit body. An insulating resin is laminated on a surface of the conductive portion. The circuit body is directly formed on the surface of the resin casing by a series of processes described above.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Keita Shimakura, Takuo Matsumoto

Patent number: 9335792Abstract: A docking device according to an embodiment, on which an electronic apparatus is mounted in a demountable manner, includes a hook member, a hook interlocking member interlocking with the hook member and a latching member. By the operation to a demount-operating part, the hook member slidingly moves from a locking position where the hook member engages with an engaging hole of the electronic apparatus, to an unlocking position where the hook member does not engage with the engaging hole. When the electronic apparatus is not mounted on the docking device, the latching member is pressed up to a first level where it does not latch the hook interlocking member, and protrudes from a mounting surface on which the electronic apparatus is mounted. When the electronic apparatus is mounted, the latching member is pressed down to a second level where it can latch the hook interlocking member.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takuo Matsumoto, Tetsuo Okazaki

Patent number: 9130253Abstract: A waveguide includes a waveguide body which is hollow inside and made from a shape-retentive material, and a conductive inner coating layer which is electrically conductive and provided on an inner surface of the waveguide body. The waveguide uses an inner space of the conductive inner coating layer as a transmission path to transmit electromagnetic waves as signals. Two electric wires provided along the outer surface of the waveguide body serve respectively as a power line and a ground line to transmit electric power.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Mita, Masaaki Okada, Takuo Matsumoto, Takashi Gohara

Publication number: 20140211108Abstract: According to one embodiment, electronic device includes display device, touch panel, first housing, second housing, connection portion, and movable portion. The first housing supports the display device. The second housing includes first end, second end opposite the first end, and intermediate portion between the first and the second ends. The connection portion is detachably connected to the first housing. The movable portion is rotatably supported by the second housing and moves the connection portion between first position at which the connection portion is close to the first end and second position at which the connection portion is supported by the intermediate portion. In a state in which the connection portion is located at the first position, the first housing and the second housing are foldable. In a state in which the connection portion is located at the second position, the first housing and the second housing are openable.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Takuo Matsumoto, Tetsuo Okazaki
