Inventor: IDE TETSURO
IPC: H01R4/70
Filed: 1997-09-30
Abstract: Two covered wires (W1,W2) conductively connected are
overlapped with each other at connection portions. The
overlapped connection portions are pinched by a pair of
resin chips (13,15). By melting cover portions and pressing
resin chips from outside, the conductive wire portions (1) of
the covered wires are conductively contacted with each
other at the connection portions. The pair of the resin
chips (13,15) are melt-fixed to each other to seal the connection
portions. A crossing angle  of the two covered wires (W1,W2) at
the connection portion is set to not less than 45° to not
greater than 135°. Thus, the covered wires can be
conductively connected with each other at cheap price
easily. Further, a connecting state having an excellent
electrical characteristic can be obtained stably.

Abstract: When the oil is discharged from an actuator 11i for
lowering the vehicle height, an actuator pressure Pa is higher
than a pump pressure Pp so that a differential pressure valve
41 is caused to slide its valving element 42 to the right by
the pressure difference. A valving element seal portion 42b,
as having abutted against a seat face 43a to close the opening
of a lower return conduit 40b, leaves the seat face 43a. As
a result, the closure of the connected portion in the lower
return conduit 40b is discharged so that the passage of a return
conduit 40 is opened. Then, the oil from the actuator 11i is
discharged via the return conduit 40 to the reserve tank 16
while receiving the less flow resistance which is reduced
because of no passage through any solenoid valve.

Abstract: There is provided a high pressure fuel pump which
includes a reliable fuel seal having a long durability and
which can be produced at a relatively low cost. When a
rotating shaft 4 is rotated to rotate a swash plate 7, such
rotation is transmitted to a piston shoe guide plate 8
through a thrust ball bearing 9. Since the plate 8 is
supported by a spherical portion 16 of a rod 14 mounted to a
body 12, the plate 8 performs a precession to recurrently
operate a plurality of fuel pumps 21 to 25 disposed around
the rod 14. Each of the fuel pumps 21 to 25 includes a
bellows provided between an outer end of the piston and the
body 12, and the bellows completely seals a fuel leaked from
a sliding clearance between the piston and the cylinder.
Since the leaked fuel is introduced into a return passage 19
through a groove formed in an outer wall of the cylinder, a
large internal pressure is not applied to the bellows and
therefore, the bellows can be made of a low-priced material
such as Teflon.

IPC: G01J1/42

Abstract: To measure the optical power level of light from
an object (11) to be measured, a bias section (6)
applies to a photo-detecting section (5) such a reverse
bias voltage as makes the current multiplication factor
M almost zero to prevent the output current from
flowing and such a reverse bias voltage as makes the M
one or more to allow the output current to flow. A
processing section (9) determines an offset level from
the output of a direct-current amplifying section (7)
during an offset data acquisition period that the M is
almost zero. The time T0 from when the bias section
(6) applies to the photo-detecting section (5) such a
reverse bias voltage as makes the M one or more to when
the reverse bias voltage applied to make the M zero is
determined to be a measurement state. The processing
section (9) measures the optical power with a clock
faster than time T0. The processing section (9)
subtracts the offset level from the measured optical
power level to compensate for the offset, thereby
determining the correct optical power level of the
measured object (11). This makes it possible to
automatically perform offset compensation without
shading light before measurement and realize highly
accurate measurement.

Abstract: A branch portion 101 branches an inputted electrical
signal into an in-phase signal and an opposite phase
signal which have an opposite relation as to a phase.
A first FM laser 104 converts the in-phase signal into an
optical frequency-modulated signal (a first optical
signal) having a center wavelength λ1 and then outputs
the resultant signal. A second FM laser 105 converts the
opposite phase signal into an optical frequency-modulated
signal (a second signal) having a center wavelength λ2
and then outputs the resultant signal. The two optical
signals are combined and then inputted into an optical-electrical
converting portion 106. The optical-electrical
converting portion 106 subjects the inputted optical
signals to optical heterodyne detection by its square-law
detection characteristic, and outputs a beat signal
between the two optical signals which is a wide-band FM
signal at a frequency corresponding to a wavelength
difference  Δλ (=|λ1-λ2|)  between the first optical
signal and the second optical signal. It is thus
possible to increase frequency deviation of the outputted
FM signal and thus greatly improve a CNR.

Abstract: Disclosed is a transmitter for switching and
transmitting signals of plural frequency bands. For
example, the signals of two frequency bands are switched and
transmitted. For the transmission in a first frequency band,
both of transistors 104, 105 are turned off, whereby a power
amplifying transistor 102 is matched by an input wide band
matching circuit 101 and an output main matching circuit 103,
so that the high efficiency linear amplification is
accomplished. For the transmission in a second frequency
band, the transistor 104 is turned on while the transistor
105 is turned off, whereby the power amplifying transistor
102 is matched by a capacitance 108 as well as the input wide
band matching circuit 101 and the output main matching
circuit 103, so that the high efficiency linear
amplification is accomplished. An external switch for
switching the matching circuits is thus unnecessary.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting the end of life of a print cartridge (5) for a
thermal ink jet printer (10) determines the status of the print cartridge and warns
the user if the print cartridge is at or near the end of its useful life. In a first mode
of operation, an initial temperature of a printhead (12) contained in the print
cartridge is checked after a threshold amount of ink is expelled from the
printhead, such as for a high density print swath or during a service routine. This
initial temperature is then compared with a maximum initial temperature. If the
initial temperature exceeds the maximum initial temperature, a warning about the
status of the print cartridge is sent to a user. If the initial temperature does not
exceed the maximum initial temperature, the user is informed of the remaining
life portion of the print cartridge. In a second mode of operation, a final
temperature is checked after a period of time elapses since the threshold amount
of ink is expelled from the printhead. This final temperature is then compared to
a maximum final temperature. If the final temperature exceeds the maximum
final temperature, a warning about the status of the print cartridge is sent to a
user. If the final temperature is less than the maximum final temperature, the
user is informed of the remaining life portion of the print cartridge. In a third
mode of operation, the heat transfer efficiency of the print cartridge is calculated.
If the heat transfer efficiency of the print cartridge is below a minimum heat
transfer efficiency, a warning about the status of the print cartridge is sent to a
user. If the heat transfer efficiency exceeds a minimum heat transfer efficiency,
the user is informed of the remaining life portion of the print cartridge.
