Abstract: A fluidic torque transfer device is configured such that the attachment angle of a turbine blade at a fluid outlet of a turbine runner is smaller than the attachment angle of the turbine blade at a fluid inlet of the turbine runner. Furthermore, the turbine runner is structured so that a cross-sectional area St of a turbine flow path defined by the turbine shell, adjacent turbine blades, and the turbine core, which is perpendicular to a centerline of the turbine flow path, satisfies |St?Sref|/Sref?0.2, where a reference area Sref is an average of maximum and minimum values of a cross-sectional area of a pump flow path defined by the pump shell, adjacent pump blades, and the pump core of the pump impeller, which is perpendicular to a centerline of the pump flow path.

Abstract: A fluid coupling including a pump impeller rotatable about a rotation axis and having several pump blades, and a turbine runner disposed downstream of the pump impeller and including several turbine blades arranged about the rotation axis. When the pump impeller rotates, a fluid circulates between the pump impeller and the turbine runner such that the turbine runner rotates about the rotation axis. Each of the turbine blades includes an intermediate part, an outer part and an inner part, and in at least one of the turbine blades, the outer part is formed so as to be positioned on the downstream side of the intermediate part in the rotation direction.

Abstract: Cooling oil is fed to a second oil space formed on the inner circumferential side of a hub member, and is also fed through a bypass oil passage to a first oil space formed on the outer circumferential side of a drum member. When the friction plates rotate, with grooves in the friction pads attached to the inner friction plates, the cooling oil flows by inertial force through oil holes in the hub member and through oil holes of the drum member, from the first oil space to the second oil space, and from the second oil space to the first oil space, respectively, through the friction plates. Accordingly, the flow of the cooling oil to the friction plates is improved without notches, etc. in the outer friction plates or in the inner friction plates, resulting in an improvement in cooling of the coupling device.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory unit has a card body (1) with conductive panels (2, 2') on its surface. Insulating layers (10, 10') are provided on the inside of the conductive panels (2, 2'). A circuit board (5) is provided in the card body (1). A battery contacting member (8) is located close to one of the insulating layers (10, 10'), and is connected with a circuit grounding terminal. A portion (10a) of the insulating layer (10), which is opposed to the battery contacting member (8), is formed to have lower electrostatic breakdown voltage than the other portions of the insulating layers (10, 10'). Thus, when a high voltage ESD noise is applied to the conductive panels (2, 2'), the noise is discharged to the ground through the portion (10a) of the insulating layer (10) and the battery contacting member, so that the memory unit can be free from the bad influence of the noise.

Abstract: In a portable semiconductor storage device, a negative electrode terminal electrically connected to the circuit ground of a board contained in the portable semiconductor storage device contacts both the negative polarity of a cell and conductive outer plates on both sides of the circuit board when the cell is present in the device. When the cell is not present, the circuit ground of the board is not brought into contact with the conductive outer plates. Therefore, backup data can be protected from being destroyed due to external noise when the cell is present, and ground superimposed noise from the conductive outer plates can be cut off when the cell is not present, aiding in the stable operation of the entire system. Since the circuit ground is connected to the conductive outer plates by means of a terminal member of a simplified constuction, an assembly process can be simplified.
