  • Patent number: 10881011
    Abstract: The interconnection device includes a housing, and a first communication unit and an output unit which are accommodated in the housing. The housing includes a duct connector physically attachable and electrically connectable to a wiring duct for transferring first power. The first communication unit performs communication in a power line communication scheme through the wiring duct. The output unit includes a second communication unit and a conversion unit. The second communication unit communicates with a device in a telecommunication standard different from the power line communication scheme in accordance with the communication signal received by the first communication unit. The conversion unit generates second power of a different standard from the first power based on the first power obtained from the wiring duct through the duct connector and supply the second power to the device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9666926
    Abstract: A power supply line for high-frequency current has a two-layered tubular conductor including an inner tube portion and an outer tube portion which is concentric to the inner tube portion and integrally linked thereto by four connecting portions along the entire length in the longitudinal direction. The four connecting portions are circumferentially disposed at predetermined intervals. By providing the four connection portions between the inner tube portion and the outer tube portion, it is possible to more accurately position the inner tube portion and to reduce high frequency resistance when compared with the likes of conventional power supply lines for high-frequency current having only one connecting portion between an inner tube portion and an outer tube portion.

  • Patent number: 8647130
    Abstract: A wiring duct connection device includes a connection body to be inserted into an end portion of a wiring duct having conductors arranged on side walls within an elongated grove-like core along a longitudinal direction; contactors held in the connection body in such a manner that the contactors can protrude from opposite side surfaces of the connection body; and elastic bodies which biases the contactors outward. The elastic bodies are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction at an inner side of each of the contactors, and each of the contactors includes convex contact portions that are one-piece formed at an outer end thereof, the contact portions being arranged along the longitudinal direction.
