Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain a rotating driving gear by which a spring can be converted into a turning force with good efficiency by a method wherein the spring one end of which has been fixed so as to come into internal contact or external contact with the internal face or the external face of a component is arranged and installed and a vibrator which gives a vibration to the spring is attached. CONSTITUTION: A vibrator 1 such as an ultrasonic vibrator, an electromagnetic vibrator or the like which is composed of a piezoelectric element is attached to a part of a spring 2, one end of the spring is fixed by a fixation member 4, and a cylindrical moving body 3 which comes into external contact with the spring is installed. That is to say, when a vibration is given to the vibrator 1 so as to compress and expand the spring up and down, a force (a) in a relaxation direction and a force (b) in which the spring is lengthened in a line direction are generated, e.g. at a contact in the relaxation direction (actually, the spring comes into contact on the whole outer circumferential face). A resultant force (c) becomes a driving force which turns the cylindrical moving body which comes into external contact.

PURPOSE: To suppress the temperature rise of an acoustic matching body and the change of vibration characteristics due to it and to improve ultrasonic transmission performance and ultrasonic reception sensitivity more than before. CONSTITUTION: This sensor is provided with a vibration body 14 composed of a piezoelectric element, the acoustic matching body 16 joined to the vibration body for transmitting vibration between the vibration body and an atmosphere and a practically cylindrical casing 22 joined to the acoustic matching body around the vibration body at one end for supporting the acoustic matching body. In the ultrasonic sensor 10, the joining ratio of the acoustic matching body 16 to the casing 22 (the ratio of the length in a peripheral direction of the outer periphery of the joined part of the acoustic matching body and the casing to the length in the peripheral direction of the outer periphery of the mutually opposing part of the acoustic matching body and the casing) is less than 60%.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To expand the distance-measuring range and to detect a speed with high accuracy in a speed detection apparatus which uses Doppler effect of ultrasonic waves. CONSTITUTION:An ultrasonic-wave transmitter-receiver 10 is constituted so as to contain a piezoelectric vibrator 12 and a diaphragm 14. The piezoelectric vibrator 12 is not nearly disk-shaped, and it is formed in such a way that a protrusion part is formed on its bottom face so as to change its thickness. When the thickness of the piezoelectric vibrator 12 is changed, a plurality, of resonance points exist in the piezoelectric vibrator 12, the sound pressure level of transmitted ultrasonic waves is increased, and the reception sensitivity of reflected waves is enhanced.

PURPOSE:To provide a piezoelectric material composition suitable for automotive actuators. CONSTITUTION:The objective composition has a composition of rhombohedral system side rather than MPB composition at the phase boundary, e.g. a composition expressed by the formula: Pb1-x-ySrxBayLaz(ZraTi1-a-bMb)O3 (0.09
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make the piezoelectric characteristic and strength of the products uniform by uniformly mixing and controlling the lead atmosphere and oxygen atmosphere around a piezoelectric ceramic compact. CONSTITUTION:A piezoelectric ceramic compact is sintered in a lead atmosphere and in an oxygen atmosphere to produce a piezoelectric ceramic. A lead oxide capable of liberating and adjusting the lead atmosphere and oxygen atmosphere at the same time is arranged under or around the compact as the seat powder or covering powder. Since the lead and oxygen atmospheres are simultaneosuly liberated from under or around the compact, the atmospheres are uniformly mixed around the compact. Consequently, the sintered compact is densified, and the piezoelectric characteristic and strength of the products are surely improved and made uniform.

CONSTITUTION:The raw material powder prepared so as to give a composition represented by formula: (Pb1-xSrx)(ZryTi1-y-zNbz)O3 [0.08
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of short circuit in an Ag group electrode to be caused by migration. CONSTITUTION:The conductive material for electrode consists of an AG group particle 1 and a coating layer 2, which is coated on the surface of the Ag group particle 1 and which is made of the conductive material having the migration resistance higher than that of the Ag group particle 1. Ag electrode made of this material can highly prevent the ionization of Ag at the particle level against the mechanical stress and the thermal stress from the outside to prevent the migration of Ag securely.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain the subject superconductor having excellent characteristics by heat treating a mixed powder containing a specified powder and having a composition of the above-mentioned oxide superconductor at a prescribed and comparatively low temperature for a comparatively short time. CONSTITUTION:A solid phase (e.g. Y2O3) existing together with a liquid phase when a Y-based oxide superconductor (e.g. Y-Ba-Cu-O-based oxide) is heated at >= a prescribed temperature is used as the core and the core is covered with a substance (e.g. BaCuO2) containing elements capable of a reaction with the above-mentioned core and production of the above-mentioned oxide superconductor thereby. The above obtained powder is then blended with another powder and the resultant mixed powder (e.g. mixed powder containing both BaCuO2 powder and CuO powder) containing the above-mentioned powder and having the composition of the above-mentioned oxide superconductor is heat treated at a temperature in the neighborhood of the melting point of the above- mentioned covering material.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To evaluate kneading property, by measuring specified amounts of resin and ceramic powder to be used before injection molding, inputting the resin and the ceramic powder in a rotary viscosimeter, which is kept at a specified temperature, kneading them at a specified number of rotations, and measuring the duration of the maximum fluctuation width of the rotary torque. CONSTITUTION:Ceramic powder and a resin are kneaded, and a required molded product is manufactured by injection molding. Before manufacture, specified amounts of the resin and the ceramic powder to be used are measured and put into a rotary viscosimeter, which is kept at a specified temperature. They are kneaded at a specified number of rotations. After the start of kneading, the time period, during which the fluctuation width of the rotary torque value keeps the maximum value, is measured. Based on the measured time period, the kneading property of the ceramic powder and the resin used for the injection molding is evaluated. The kneading property of the ceramic powder and the resin is accurately evaluated before the kneading. Thus the fluidic molding pressure of the kneaded material can be accurately controlled.
