  • Publication number: 20180074528
    Abstract: A pressure regulating chamber and an atmospheric pressure chamber are divided with a diaphragm, a pressure regulating lever connected to the diaphragm through a diaphragm pin is included in the pressure regulating chamber, and a valve element provided in a tip end side of the pressure regulating lever regulates a fuel in the pressure regulating chamber to have a predetermined pressure near an atmospheric pressure and sends the fuel while opening or closing a fuel introduction port, as the pressure regulating lever swings following displacement of the diaphragm. Connection on the pressure regulating lever side or connection on the diaphragm side, of the diaphragm pin, is separable within a predetermined range in the atmospheric pressure chamber direction. The diaphragm pin is separated to cancel the connection between the diaphragm and the pressure regulating lever when at least the pressure regulating chamber has a positive pressure of a predetermined level or more.

  • Patent number: 8040203
    Abstract: The present invention provides a filter circuit that can achieve both sharp bandpass characteristics and high power handling capability. The filter circuit includes: an input terminal that has a signal input; a four-port device that divides input signals; a band stop filter that has the center frequency of the input signals within the stopband, and causes the out-of-stopband signals among the input signals to pass; two bandstop resonators circuits that cause the signals passing through the band stop filters to pass, and reflect the signals; open ends that are connected in parallel to the two bandstop resonators circuits; and an output terminal that outputs the signals reflected by the band stop filters and the bandstop resonators circuits and combined at the four-port device.

  • Patent number: 7825751
    Abstract: In resonant elements 102 to 105 constituting a resonant circuit, an uncontrolled cross coupling which exists between two resonant elements is controlled by using a coupling element 106 which is newly arranged between the resonant elements, whereby it is possible to create a state where two resonant elements are not coupled with each other or a state where the amount of the coupling is reduced, which states are difficult to be realized on a plane. As a result, it is possible to improve characteristics of a planar filter.

  • Patent number: 7411475
    Abstract: A superconductor filter comprises a plurality of resonance elements arranged between input-output lines formed on a substrate. Metal conductor sections serving to inhibit the spatial coupling between the adjacent resonance elements are arranged between prescribed resonance elements, and a prescribed resonance element is coupled with another resonance element by a coupling transmission line. It follows that each resonance element is coupled with another resonance element by the direct coupling via the coupling transmission line or by the spatial coupling via the space.

  • Patent number: 7305261
    Abstract: A band pass filter which is configured by a microstrip line, or a strip line is provided. The band pass filter has a first half wavelength resonator which resonates at a center frequency of a pass band, a second half wavelength resonator which resonates at the center frequency of the pass band, and a transmission line through which the first half wavelength resonator is wire-coupled to the second half wavelength resonator. A strong coupling can be stably realized without causing deviation of the resonance frequencies of resonators.
