Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a solid state imaging device having a photo-electric conversion portion array and a transfer electrode array, these arrays being provided in parallel to each other, upper surfaces and side wall surfaces of the transfer electrode array being covered with a light-shielding layer, and a transparent layer showing an oxidizing property at the time of film formation, the transparent layer being formed on the photo-electric conversion parts and the light-shielding layer.
Abstract:
An electronic component package that provides a high shielding performance and that can prevent failures such as short-circuiting with a component contained therein. A package includes a shield case formed of a metal plate and shaped to have a bottom portion, the bottom portion having a through hole; a resin case molded on inner and outer surfaces of the shield case and shaped to have a bottom portion; and a hot terminal that is insert-molded in the resin case such that the hot terminal is inserted into the shield case through the through hole without contact. One end of the hot terminal is exposed at an inner surface of the resin case, and the other end of the hot terminal is exposed at an outer surface of the resin case. An element contained in the package is surrounded by the shield case so that good shielding performance is obtained.
Abstract:
A small infrared sensor has a wide infrared light-receiving area (viewing angle), high electromagnetic shielding characteristics, and excellent electromagnetic-wave resistance characteristics. In the infrared sensor, supporting portions are disposed at four corners of a substantially rectangular opening in a package. The supporting portions support an optical filter, disposed so as to cover the opening, at positions that are lower than an upper end of an inner peripheral wall defining the opening. While the optical filter is supported by the supporting portions as a result of inserting a portion of a surface side of the optical filter facing the supporting portions into the opening, the optical filter is secured to the package. The optical filter and the package are joined and secured, and electrically connected to each other through a conductive adhesive.

Abstract:
A spectacle type communication device wearable in the same feeling as in wearing normal spectacles, preventing tired feeling and uncomfortable feeling from providing to a wearer even if the wearer uses it for a long time, and capable of providing excellent aesthetic appearance. In the communication device formed in a spectacle style, bone-conduction speakers (3) separated from a communication device body (7) having an amplifier circuit and a battery are mounted on temples (2) or ear pads (4) and supported to be brought into contact with tragus (10) or near jaw joints slightly forward of the tragus (10), and the connection parts (5) of cables (8) extending from the communication device body (7) are disposed on the temples (2) or the ear pads (4).
Abstract:
In accordance with a component mounting apparatus, a component stored in a component feeder is held by a component holding member and is then mounted in a mounting position on an object. The apparatus functions to, when a mounting posture of the component in which the component is mounted onto the object is inclined with respect to a basic posture of the component by a mounting angle, hold the component from the component feeder by the component holding member that has preliminarily been rotated to the mounting angle in such a direction as to depart from a reference posture of the component holding member prior to the mounting of the component on the object. And afterwards, the component holding member is rotated in a specified direction to finally return the component holding member to the reference posture, and then the component is mounted on the object.
Abstract:
A DC power source unit supplies a DC voltage to a power tool through an adapter when a power switch of the tool is turned ON and also charges a battery pack used as an alternative power source of the tool when the power tool is not operated. In order to prevent a rush current from flowing in a switch interposed between a switching power source circuit and the battery pack when charging the battery pack is commenced, the switch is rendered OFF when the output voltage from the switching power source is greater than the battery voltage. Charging the battery is started upon once lowering the output of the switching power source to a level lower than the battery voltage.
Abstract:
A DC power source unit supplies a DC voltage to a power tool through an adapter when a power switch of the tool is turned ON and also charges a battery pack used as an alternative power source of the tool when the power tool is not operated. A minimum battery temperature gradient amongst battery temperature gradients ever computed is used to determine whether the battery pack has cooling effect when forcibly cooled by a cooling fan or whether the battery pack has reached a full charge condition. When charging the battery pack is interrupted due to operation of the power tool, computing the battery temperature gradient is halted for some time or determination of the battery pack's full charge condition is not performed for some time in order to prevent the minimum battery temperature from being updated during interruption of charging of the battery pack.
