Abstract:
A process for manufacturing a leadfree lead terminal for capacitor, in which whisker generation can be avoided. There is provided a process for manufacturing a lead terminal for capacitor, comprising bringing metal wire (1) furnished with metal plating layer (2) composed mainly of tin into abuttal on aluminum wire (5) and carrying out arc welding between the metal wire (1) and the aluminum wire (5), wherein portion (9) devoid of the metal plating layer is formed at one end of the metal wire (1), the one end of the metal wire (1) is brought into abuttal on one end of the aluminum wire (5) and thereafter arc welding is carried out therebetween.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor device comprising a ceramic substrate, a surface mount component, and sealing resin and obtained by division into pieces, the ceramic substrate is composed of a multiple piece substrate provided with dividing grooves for the division into pieces on both front and rear surfaces in advance, a plurality of the surface mount components are mounted on the multiple piece substrate and sealed collectively by the sealing resin, and the substrate is divided along the dividing grooves. Further, when the shortest distance from an end on the front surface of the ceramic substrate to an end of the surface mount component is set to “a” μm, a thickness of the ceramic substrate is set to “b” μm, and sum of depths of the dividing grooves on the front and rear surfaces of the ceramic substrate is set to “c” μm, a relationship of a≧269×c/b+151 is established.
Abstract:
A parking brake mechanism in a caliper body has a piston assembly slidably supported within the caliper body. A first gear is rotatable in the caliper body about a first axis. A second gear is rotatable in the caliper body about a second axis. The first and second axes are generally perpendicular. A ball-ramp assembly is operably disposed between the second gear and the piston assembly. The ball-ramp assembly translates rotational displacement of the second gear into axial displacement of the piston assembly to actuate the parking brake mechanism.
Abstract:
A one-chip flash-memory device includes a flash-memory array, a communications unit for analyzing a serial signal applied to the communications unit and for resolving the serial signal into an address, a command, and data in parallel with each other, and a control unit for controlling rewriting, erasing, and reading operations of the flash-memory array in accordance with the address, the command, and the data of the serial signal received by the communications unit. Rewriting and erasing operations may be performed without dismounting the flash-memory from a circuit board. In addition, the area of the circuit board on which the flash-memory is mounted is advantageously reduced.
Abstract:
An operation prohibiting apparatus for construction equipment of improved controllability. A cutoff bar is positioned is a first position in which the cutoff bar protrudes across the entryway to an operator cab of the construction equipment. The cutoff bar is operationally linked with a locking mechanism for a hydraulic valve system of the construction equipment so that an operating mechanism for the system is unlocked when the cutoff bar is positioned in the first protruding position. A displacement enlarging mechanism is provided between an operating knob and the cutoff bar to facilitate manual positioning of the cutoff bar. Further, the cutoff bar is provided with flexibility to prevent possible damage to the cutoff bar.
