  • Patent number: 5467199
    Abstract: Tone signal (34a) having a reference frequency (f) which is produced by the tone signal generation device (34) at the transmitter part is transmitted, via transmitter device (32), antenna (31), aerial line, antenna (32), to the reception sector (12). Then, the received tone signal (12a) is compared by the frequency correction circuit (A) with the preset reference signal (f), and according to a result of the comparison, a frequency produced by the reception sector (12) is corrected. That is, an error produced between the transmission frequency by the transmitter (32) and the reception frequency by the receiver (12) is apparently canceled. Thereby facsimile data can be transmitted so correctly to the receiver part so that the facsimile communication with use of radio SSB system can be successfully applied, although there may be an error between the transmitter frequency and the receiver frequency.

  • Patent number: 5361883
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch includes a rotor assembly constituted by a pulley portion and a rotor portion. The pulley portion has a pulley portion on an outer circumferential side, is axially supported on a driven shaft to be rotatable, and is designed to receive a driving force from a driving shaft. The rotor portion has an armature on a side of the driving shaft. The armature is selectively friction-engaged by magnetic attraction. The rotor portion of the rotor assembly is formed by casting to have an uneven surface shape constituted by a plurality of projections on its outer circumferential surface. The synthetic resin pulley portion is integrally coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the rotor portion by insert molding.

  • Patent number: 5259007
    Abstract: A PLL Frequency Synthesizer includes a reference signal source which outputs a reference frequency signal. A phase of the signal out of the reference signal source and a phase of a signal coming back through a feed-back loop are compared by a phase comparator which detects the phase difference between them. The output of the comparator is integrated by a low pass filter which generates a voltage output corresponding to the phase difference. A voltage controlled oscillator is also provided to the PLL Frequency Synthesizer of the invention, an output frequency of which is controlled by the amplitude of a signal out of the low pass filter. The output signal out of the voltage controlled oscillator is divided by a variable divider whose denominator can be variable from outside. A frequency multiplier is provided between the phase comparator and the variable divider so as to multiply the frequency of signal derived from the variable divider.

  • Patent number: 5195908
    Abstract: A multicircuit cable connector which includes a multicircuit, an insulation layer thereon, and a matching circuit which is placed on the layer. The multicircuit is a plurality of conductive strips which run along the length of the cable. The matching circuit is a means for interconnecting certain of the strips with one another and consists of interconnecting portions carrying terminals thereon. The interconnecting portions extend transversely of the cable and their length and location are determined by the arrangement of conductive strips in the cable and which of them are to be connected to each other. A U-shaped clip of generally channel shape is provided and the bottom thereof is pressed against a multicircuit conductor and the sides extend through the layer and are crimped onto the terminals on the interconnecting portions of the matching circuit, thereby completing the connection.
