Publication number: 20150362801Abstract: Provided is a flat-panel display for improving a structure of a shape of a through-hole of a backlight cover that is a resin-made member, which is passed through when making a PWB contact a metal plate member, so that a gasket can be mechanically fixed. This flat-panel display includes: a metal plate member (30) arranged on a rear side of a display panel; a non-conductive plate member (20) arranged so as to face a rear side of the metal plate member (30) and including a through-hole (42); a circuit board (50) arranged so as to face a rear side of the non-conductive plate member (20) ; and a gasket (90) arranged in the through-hole (42) and holding conduction of the metal plate member (30) and the circuit board (50), in which the non-conductive plate member (20) includes a gasket fixation portion (44) formed around the through-hole (42) in a convex shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Applicant: SHARP KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoyuki ICHIZA, Naoki FUKUDA, Sunao OHNISHI, Akihisa KANEKO, Junya YOSHINO, Toshiyuki KATOH

Patent number: 7724478Abstract: Terminals of a flexible printed circuit board and terminals of a wiring trace in a head suspension assembly are to be connected with each other by soldering without causing a soldering defect. In an embodiment, a terminal structure of a multi-connector in a wiring trace which includes an insulating layer and a conductor pattern portion formed on a surface of the insulating layer is provided with exposed portions of terminals exposed from apertures formed in part of the insulating layer and is also provided with lining portions adjacent to the exposed portions in a longitudinal direction of the conductor pattern portion and bonded to the insulating layer. Even if terminals of the multi-connector are cracked when soldered, not only conductivity is ensured, but also it is possible to strengthen the terminals, because the lining portions of the terminals are bonded to the insulating layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Hitachi Global Storage Technologies Netherlands B.V.Inventors: Takaaki Deguchi, Toshiyuki Katoh, Katsumi Kiguchi, Nobuo Sasaoka, Kohichi Suzuki, Shingo Tsuda

Patent number: 7639149Abstract: An automatic lighting device includes an illuminance detector for detecting an external illuminance around a vehicle, a light controller for turning on/off a vehicular light, a driver's characteristics detector for acquiring information about driver's physical characteristics, and a threshold setting element for setting the illuminance threshold in accordance with the driver's physical characteristics. The controller turns on the light when the external illuminance is not more than the illuminance threshold.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Toshiyuki Katoh

Patent number: 4973367Abstract: A method of manufacturing a steel sheet having excellent deep-drawability. A steel blank is rolled into a steel sheet having a predetermined thickness. The steel contains C: not more than 0.008 wt %, Si: not more than 0.5 wt %, Mn: not more than 1.0 wt %, P: not more than 0.15 wt %, S: not more than 0.02 wt %, Al: 0.010 to 0.10 wt %, N: not more than 0.008 wt %, and at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti and Nb which is contained in an amount satisfying the relationship of 1.2 (C/12+N/14).ltoreq.(Ti/48+Nb/93). In at least one pass, rolling is conducted within a temperatures range lower than the Ar3 transformation point but not lower than 500.degree. C., in such a manner that the roll radius R (mm) and the blank thickness t (mm) before rolling by rolls satisfy the relationships of R.ltoreq.200 and R.sup.2 .times..sqroot.t.ltoreq.100000, and the total rolling reduction at temperature lower than the Ar3 transformation point is not lower than 60%.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1989Date of Patent: November 27, 1990Assignee: Kawasaki Steel CorporationInventors: Saiji Matsuoka, Susumu Satoh, Toshiyuki Katoh, Hideo Abe, Ikuo Yarita
