Latest Patents

One of his latest inventions is a battery device that features a plurality of batteries connected in series. Each battery includes a thermally responsive switch, a first conductive plate connected to a first terminal of the switch, a second conductive plate connected to a common terminal, and a third conductive plate that acts as a bypass. In normal operation, the thermally responsive switch maintains contact with the first fixed contact, ensuring that the first and second conductive plates are electrically connected. However, if the battery overheats beyond a maximum permissible temperature, the bimetal strip inverts, causing the movable contact to connect with the second fixed contact, thus linking the second and third conductive plates.

Another notable invention is an input device for game machines, which allows users to input signals using a sticklike controller. This device includes a first bevel gear at one end of the controller, paired with second bevel gears that mesh with it. The second bevel gears are independently turned by driving sources, providing a unique method of controlling the position of the game controller.
