  • Publication number: 20140285379
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a monitoring device includes a monitoring antenna, a frequency converter, a filter, a detector, and an azimuth detector. The monitoring antenna receives a carrier wave, an upper sideband wave, and a lower sideband wave as a VOR signal. The frequency converter converts a frequency band of the VOR signal into an IF band. The filter includes passband. The passband removes a component of the lower sideband wave in the VOR signal. The detector detects a component of the carrier wave, and a component of the upper sideband wave from the signal output from the filter. The azimuth detector detects an azimuth based on the detected carrier wave component, and the detected upper sideband wave component.

  • Patent number: 7936554
    Abstract: In a monolithic ceramic capacitor, the size of end surfaces of a capacitor body in a two-dimensional surface in which ceramic layers extend is greater than the size of side surfaces in the two-dimensional surface in which the ceramic layers extend. External terminal electrodes include a resistive component. In each of first to fourth internal electrodes, a width-direction size of a lead-out portion is less than a width-direction size of a capacitance portion. The lead-out portions of the first and third internal electrodes and the lead-out portions of the second and fourth internal electrodes are arranged so as to partially overlap each other or not to overlap each other.
