Combustion pressure sensor with built-in charge amplifier

In an ON state, a first switch generates a transmission signal by pulse modulating a carrier. A SAW sensor outputs a reception signal after a delay from receipt of the transmission signal. In an input state, a second switch receives and transmits the transmission signal to the SAW sensor. In an output state, the second switch receives and outputs the reception signal. A SAW delay element outputs a local signal after the delay from receipt of the transmission signal. A mixer generates a synchronous detection signal by mixing the reception and local signals. During the input state of the second switch, the first switch switches from the OFF state, to the ON state, and back to the OFF state. The second switch switches from the input state to the output state before the delay after the first switch switches back to the OFF state.

A frequency multiplier includes an input circuit, an output circuit, and a resonance circuit. The input circuit is coupled to an input node and a middle node. The middle node provides a middle signal that has a signal component having the same frequency as an input signal that is provided to the input node. The middle signal further has an even number 'n' multiple of the input signal frequency. The output circuit has a predetermined input impedance for the middle node. The resonance circuit includes an inductor that is coupled in series with a capacitor, where the capacitor is in a parallel connection to the middle node. The resonance circuit has a resonance frequency that is equal to a frequency of the input signal, and such resonance circuit also has an output impedance that matches with the predetermined input impedance of the output circuit.

An electrode group is provided in a portable terminal carried by a human body for transmitting a transmission signal to the human body functioning as a transmission medium. The electrode group contains three electrodes arranged respectively at three vertices of an equilateral triangle. Three types of driving electrode pairs are defined as respectively having different combination of optional two electrodes. While changing the driving electrode pairs for use in order one pair by one pair, the transmission signal based on the same transmission data is repeatedly transmitted as many times as the number of driving electrode pairs.

An angular velocity detection apparatus is disclosed. The angular velocity detection apparatus includes: a SAW angular velocity sensor; a synchronous detection unit configured to synchronously detect an output signal from the SAW angular velocity sensor by using a reference signal; and a switching signal generation unit. The switching signal generation unit cyclically switches on and off an input of a driving signal to the SAW angular velocity sensor, and switches on an input of the output signal to the synchronous detection unit when an unwanted wave is un-inputted to a sensing electrode of the SAW angular velocity sensor.

An electronic control unit includes a circuit board, a case, and a group of a plurality of bus bars fixed to the case by insert molding. The bus bars each include a terminal portion having a constant-width portion, and a base portion which is wider than the constant-width portion. The base portions of the respective bus bars are arranged parallel to each other in the width direction thereof. Each bus bar is bent at a bent portion of its base portion. The terminal portion of each bus bar extends through the circuit board and is soldered to and electrically connected to a terminal connecting portion of an electrical circuit on the circuit board at a soldered portion. The bent portions of alternate bus bars are offset from the bent portions of the other bus bars in the longitudinal direction of the bus bars, whereby the soldered portions of the respective terminal portions are arranged in a staggered manner.

A solenoid valve for use in an actuator for controlling brake hydraulic pressure includes a valve housing, a movable core having an integral valve rod and axially slidably received in the valve housing, and a valve body configured to be moved into and out of contact with a valve seat when the valve body moves. The solenoid valve further includes a yoke having a U-shaped section. The flanges of the yoke have first ends that extend substantially along the outer peripheral edges of the coil winding to minimize the length of the flanges and thus the length of the solenoid valve.

Actuator for controlling brake hydraulic pressure and solenoid valve thereof

A hydraulic pressure controller is provided which includes a hydraulic unit for controlling hydraulic pressure and an electronic control unit. The hydraulic unit includes a block in which are mounted electric actuators. The electronic control unit controls the electric actuators by applying electric signals thereto to control hydraulic pressure produced in the hydraulic unit to external elements in a controlled manner, thereby controlling the behavior of the vehicle. The electronic control unit includes a housing in which are mounted a circuit board and other electronic and electric parts, and a fitting portion provided on the housing so as to face one side of the block. At least one end portion of the block is received in the fitting portion and is engaged by a seal. The controller further includes a fastener for joining the block to the fitting portion.

Hydraulic pressure controller

An elastic member made of rubber which urges a coil portion toward a cover is formed into a shape such that the elastic member can be deformed by bending. A rate of change in reaction force of the elastic member with respect to an amount of deformation in a bending deformation region is less than a case where the elastic member is subject to compressive deformation. Therefore, even in the case where the amount of deformation of the elastic member increases due to dimensional variation of a component part, the reaction force of the elastic member does not become excessively large.

Fluid control apparatus

The present invention provides a method for vibrating, melting and creating well-bonded resin parts. Pressing the resin parts is started and then the pressing force is increased sharply to a predetermined value and the resin parts are vibrated to heat the resin part contact surfaces. After heat generation is started, the pressing force is increased gradually to a time, when the vibrating of the resin parts is finished, to push out the heated resin material from the contact surfaces. This exposes the new surface of the resin material which is heated at a low degree and thus can prevent the resin material at the contact surface from excessive heat and degradation. Thereafter, the vibration of the resin parts is stopped to solidify the resin material which is not degraded and is in a uniform, melted state throughout the contact surfaces.

Method for vibrating, melting and bonding resin parts

A leaf spring for urging a spool toward a flange part of a yoke is provided between a guide fixed to a housing and the spool. Owing to the urging force of the leaf spring, the spool is pressed against the flange part of the yoke, and the yoke can be pressed against the cover through the spool. Thus it is possible to prevent the spool and the yoke from loosening. Further because the leaf spring is provided for each magnet valve, the leaf spring can be commonly used for respective modes of a fluid control apparatus and thus the cost can be reduced.
