Toshiaki ICHIKI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: A sensor includes a housing and an antenna element. The first wall and the second wall of the housing are facing each other at a distance from each other. The third wall and the fourth wall connect the first wall and the second wall and are facing at a distance from each other and have a larger area than the first wall and the second wall respectively. The housing has an internal space surrounded by the first wall, the second wall, the third wall, and the fourth wall. The antenna element is arranged in the internal space of the housing and receives identification information of an external actuator for detecting opening/closing of a door. The antenna element is arranged at a position, which is closer to the first wall than the second wall and includes a substantially center in a direction connecting the third wall and the fourth wall.
