  • Patent number: 6955553
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a non-reciprocal device which easily secures the same planarity in the bottom surfaces of the external terminals and the case bottom surface. The case 7 houses a circuit board 1 and a gyromagnetic component 2, such that the lower surface of the circuit board 1 faces the internal surface 711 of the bottom portion 71. A plurality of side walls 72 are arranged with a space 722 therebetween on the periphery of the bottom portion 71. External-terminal forming portions 11 to 13 of the circuit board 1 each protrude from the external side surface of the body 10 and are led to the outside of the case 7 through the space 722. The bottom surfaces of the thick portions 14 of the external-terminal forming portions 11 to 13 are formed on the same plane as the outer bottom surface 712 of the case 7. Connection electrodes 151 to 153 for center conductors are connected to the terminal portions 311 to 331 of the center conductors 31 to 33 inside the case 7.

  • Patent number: 3989892
    Abstract: A line concentrator for a time division data switching exchange. Asynchronous and synchronous data signals generated at asynchronous and synchronous data terminals are subjected to known multi-point and synchronous sampling to become a train of bit-multiplexed first asynchronous and synchronous data channel signals. Responsive to a train of bit-interleaved read-in pulse groups timed relative to the respective synchronous data signals, an arithmetic unit stores the data channel signals in an octet memory according to the asynchronous and synchronous data terminals. Responsive to a train of read-out pulses appearing for the respective data terminals, the arithmetic unit reproduces groups of uninterleaved data channel signals for each data terminal and composes the reproduced data channel signals into a train of second asynchronous and synchronous data channel signals given by a common and uninterleaved bit format.
