Publication number: 20200259481Abstract: An antenna terminal is connected to a first filter and second filter, which are branched from each other when viewed from the antenna terminal, and are different in passing bands from each other. An individual inductor is connected in series to a branch point from which the first filter is branched to be independent from other filters when viewed from the antenna terminal. And a common inductor is located between a position between the antenna terminal and the branch point and a reference potential and is commonly connected in parallel with respect to the filters. The first filter is higher in frequency of passing band compared with the other filters. A susceptance when viewing the second filter side from the antenna terminal is larger than a susceptance when viewing the first filter side from the antenna terminal at frequencies of passing bands of them.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2018Publication date: August 13, 2020Inventor: Toshiya KIMURA

Patent number: 7374442Abstract: A memory card socket structure includes an arm rotatably moved by an insertion and an extraction of a memory card into and from a card compartment and a memory card detecting function for detecting whether the memory card is inserted into the card compartment. The arm includes a main portion to be in contact with the memory card and a sub portion disposed opposite to the main portion with respect to a rotation shaft thereof, and is located at a rear side of the card compartment. The arm is engaged with a torsion spring whose first end portion is engaged with a first stationary contact but whose second end portion is engaged with the sub portion, whereby the main portion is biased by the spring toward an entrance of the card compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 20, 2008Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Tsunehiro Anzai, Hirohisa Tanaka, Nobuhiko Kimura, Toshiya Kimura
