  • Publication number: 20110187485
    Abstract: A transformer includes a bobbin, terminal electrodes, a core, a primary winding, a secondary winding, and an additional winding. The bobbin is made from an electrically insulating material and has a tubular portion defining an internal space. The tubular portion has an outer peripheral surface providing a first through third sections arrayed side by side in an axial direction of the tubular portion. The terminal electrodes are provided at the bobbin for electrical connection to the windings. The core is inserted into the internal space. The primary winding has an insulating layer and is wound over the first section. The secondary winding has an insulating layer and is wound over the third section. The additional winding is wound over the second section and has an insulation layer whose insulating performance is greater than that of the insulation layer of the primary winding and the secondary winding.

  • Patent number: 7235984
    Abstract: A probe device 20 having a contact load monitoring device 10. This contact load monitoring device measures the displacement of a loading table caused by a contact load exerted on the mounting table from a probe in an overdrive by means of a displacement sensor 11 disposed in the space below the mounting table as a sinkage quantity. This sinkage quantity is collated with a correlation table to determine the contact load. If the contact load is less than the designed contact load, the mounting table is further overdriven.

  • Patent number: 6297794
    Abstract: A plurality of video devices, that is, a PC card controller 17, an MPEG2 decoder 18, a P1394 controller 20, and a video capture 31 have each a motion-picture output port connected to a video/audio dedicated bus 4, as well as an interface with a PCI bus 2. Hence, any motion-picture source can be transferred directly to a display controller 14 through the video/audio dedicated bus, without using the PCI bus 2. Various motion-picture sources can therefore be efficiently displayed.

  • Patent number: 5201113
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an auxiliary equipment for removing parts including a cover feed turret, which has been vertically detachably installed by a screw member on a can end double-seaming machine for seaming a can end on a can body, from the double-seaming machine, or installing such parts on the double-seaming machine. The auxiliary equipment comprises a swinging member supported below the cover feed turret and horizontally swingable to under a screwing position of the screw member; the first pedestal replaceably positioned on the swinging member, on which the cover feed turret can be placed when the swinging member is swung to the screwing position of the screw member; and the second pedestal replaceably positioned on the connecting member, on which a cover guide can be placed.

  • Patent number: 5149239
    Abstract: A can end double-seaming machine has a housing in which a shaft is rotatably supported. The shaft with a seaming cam lever mounted is pressed downwardly by a presser against the bias of a spring until the lower surface of the seaming cam lever is held against the upper surface of the housing. Then, an annular spacer is fitted over the lower end portion of the shaft underneath, with the tubular support held against a neck of the shaft. A seaming roll lever is then mounted on the lower end portion of the shaft. The presser is deactivated to release the shaft, which is lifted together with the seaming cam lever, the annular spacer, and the seaming roll lever under the bias of the spring until the marginal portion of the annular spacer abuts against the lower surface of the housing. The tubular support enters the housing by a distance corresponding to a predetermined clearance. The seaming cam lever and the housing are now spaced from each other by the predetermined clearance.

  • Patent number: 5139382
    Abstract: A can end double-seaming machine has a seaming head vertically movably mounted on a base and supporting a seaming chuck and a seaming roll. The seaming head is guided for its vertical movement by support posts on the base. Rotors are rotatably threaded on the support posts and rotatable by a motor for lifting and lowering the seaming head. A controller controls the motor to elevate the seaming head upwardly of a predetermined seaming position, then lower the seaming head downwardly of the seaming position, and thereafter elevate the seaming head to the seaming position, thereby positioning the seaming head in the seaming position. Since the seaming head is lowered downwardly of the seaming position and then lifted back to the seaming position, the seaming head is reliably and accurately be brought into the seaming position without a positional error which would otherwise be caused by the backlash between the rotors and the support posts.

  • Patent number: 4785029
    Abstract: A molded resin friction material composition for automobiles or the like. This composition contains as base fibers chopped glass fibers and pulped polyamide fibers in a given compounding ratio. This composition enables to produce brake lining having a high friction coefficient, a low wear ratio, and an improved fade. The fade can be further improved by adding cryolite powder and zirconium oxide powder to the composition.
