  • Publication number: 20160079218
    Abstract: An electrostatic protection device includes a base member formed of a high-resistance semiconductor material. External connecting lands are formed on a first principal surface of the base member along a first direction with a space therebetween. A diode section is formed in the first principal surface of the base member through a semiconductor forming process. The diode section is formed between formation regions of the external connecting lands along the first direction. A high concentration region is a region that has the same polarity as the base member and contains larger amounts of impurities than the base member. The high concentration region is formed in a ring shape enclosing the diode section in a plan view of the base member.

  • Patent number: 7213894
    Abstract: The invention provides a shaft for a roller wheel which is excellent in strength and can achieve a weight saving. The invention provides a shaft for a roller wheel which rotatably supports a roller (3) outward fitted between both end portions (5a, 5b) in a state in which both end portions (5a, 5b) are fixed, and receives a load in a diametrical direction via the roller (3). Recess portions (6, 6) are provided on a side to which the load is not applied, on an outer peripheral surface corresponding to the roller (3). The load applying direction is a vertical direction. A cross sectional shape of the shaft in the recess portions (6, 6) is formed in a shape which is constituted by an upper circular arc portion (10) on an upper side, a lower circular arc portion (11) on a lower side, and a vertical connection portion (12) passing through a shaft axis (O) and connecting the upper circular arc portion (10) to the lower circular arc portion (11).

  • Patent number: 7210750
    Abstract: Vibration or the like is prevented for long-term use by normalizing, with operation continuing, a tread of a crawler belt link through grinding in an early stage where uneven wear such as corrugated wear occurs. With a crawler belt of a crawler vehicle wound, an abrasive plate for grinding the tread of the crawler belt link is disposed to contact the tread. While the crawler vehicle does normal traveling work, the abrasive plate corrects the tread of the crawler belt link for the uneven wear. The vibration of a vehicle body can thus be prevented during travel with no uneven wear produced.
