  • Patent number: 11077510
    Abstract: A fine hole electric discharge machine includes a machining tank, a storage tank, at least one pipeline, a guide base, a liquid current generator, and a controller. The at least one pipeline has at least one opening directed to the upper surface of a workpiece and allows machining liquid to flow through. The liquid current generator selectively forms a first liquid current in which the machining liquid is supplied from the storage tank and jetted from a predetermined opening of the opening, or a second liquid current in which the machining liquid is sucked from an opening the same as or different from the predetermined opening and recovered to the storage tank. The controller controls the liquid current generator to form the first liquid current or the second liquid current.

  • Patent number: 8535073
    Abstract: The connector matable with a mating connector comprises a housing, a lever and an attached member. The housing has a front end, a rear end and an accommodating portion. The accommodating portion communicates with the front end and the rear end. The accommodating portion has an upper portion, a lower portion and side portions. The side portions are formed on respective opposite ends in a width direction of the accommodating portion so as to couple the upper portion and the lower portion with each other. The lever is configured to mate the connector with the mating connector and accommodated in the accommodating portion so as to be pivotable. The attached member is other than the housing. The attached member is attached to the housing so as to couple the upper portion and the lower portion with each other at a position located between the side portions in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 7897899
    Abstract: A liquid lens driver 10 has DC-DC converter 12, oscillator 14, pulse width modulator 16, and control logic circuit 18. The output buffer circuit 30 divides converter output voltage Vs of a prescribed amplitude (voltage level), input as the power source voltage, into bipolar, that is, positive/negative, output voltages Out-A, Out-B for output, and, corresponding to the H/L level of PWM signal CPWM, it turns ON/OFF the two output voltages Out-A, Out-B. In this way, from liquid lens driver 10, pulse width modulation (PWM) output voltages Out-A, Out-B are applied as driving voltage VL on electrodes 104, 108 of liquid lens 100.
