摘要:
An arrangement is made in a transformer such that voltages induced on the opposite sides of a mid-point 17 of a secondary winding 16 are unbalanced by an amount on the order of 5%. When a ground terminal 18 is not grounded while a mid-point of a load is grounded, a voltage VUE is developed between the mid-point 17 and a non-active line terminal 15 and is rectified to provide a rectified output which turns a transistor 28 on, causing a light emitting element 33L to emit light. The resulting light renders a light receiving element 33P conductive, whereby a relay 37 is operated to turn a switch 13 off. When a ground fault occurs on one side of the secondary winding 16 while the ground terminal 16 is not grounded, a ground fault detection circuit 38 fails to detect the ground fault, but the non-grounding protection circuit 30 detects the ground fault and turns the switch 13 off.

An abnormality detection circuit detects abnormality relating to ground fault in secondary winding circuitry of transformer, non-grounding fault of transformer assembly casing or false connection of the AC power source to the transformer assembly in reverse polarity. An interrupter circuit turns a switch off in response to detection of the abnormality by the abnormality detection circuit to interrupt the supply of the AC power to the transformer. When the supply of the AC power is interrupted, the switch is connected to a restart circuit, whereupon the circuit is activated to allow a charging current to flow to a capacitor, which is connected in series in a drive current path of a drive circuit with a time delay on the order of 0.5 to 1.0 second which is determined by a delay circuit thereof. The charging current drives a restoring circuit, which controls the interrupter circuit to its restoring condition temporally so that the switch is turned to its “on” condition only once.

A neon transformer includes secondary windings 16 and 17, and a junction 20 therebetween is connected through a voltage detection circuit 41 to a ground terminal 18 of the transformer. A resistive element 54 is connected in shunt with the voltage detection circuit 41. The voltage detection circuit 41 may comprise a series circuit of a Zener diode 52 and a light emitting element 53L of a photocoupler, for example. When a ground fault occurs on the secondary side of the transformer, the location of the ground fault assumes a reference potential, whereby the potential of the junction 20 rises to cause a current flow through the Zener diode 52 and the light emitting element 53L, which renders a light receiving element 53P conductive to pass an energizing current through a relay drive coil 34, thus throwing a relay contact switch 13 from NC to NO, thus interrupting the supply of the a.c. power.

A method employed in a prior art arm-worn blood pressure monitor to measure the height position of the heart has been an indirect method that merely estimates the position of the heart, and therefore has had the problems that the measurement accuracy and the reliability of the measurement are low, and that the measuring position is awkward and it is difficult to achieve correct position alignment. An arm-worn blood pressure monitor includes a cuff, a microwave transmitting unit for radiating a microwave onto a human subject, a microwave receiving unit for receiving a reflected wave Doppler-shifted relative to the radiated microwave due to a heartbeat of the subject, and a correct position detector for detecting, based on the reflected wave, whether the cuff worn around an arm of the subject is located in a correct position relative to the position of the heart of the subject.

A heart rate meter for measuring the heart rate of a living body includes a heart rate variation detecting unit for measuring the variation of the heart rate determined from a heart beat waveform, and a heart rate error detecting and correcting unit for detecting an error of heart rate on the basis of the trend of the heart rate variation and correcting the heart rate error being detected. The heart rate error detecting and correcting unit includes a heart rate error detecting unit for detecting an error of the heart rate variation as a heart rate error on the basis of the trend of the heart rate variation, and a heart rate error correcting unit for correcting the error of heart rate according to the detection of the heart rate error.
摘要:
There is provided a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric actuator where the planar shape is adjusted by subjecting the piezoelectric body layer located on one of the outer surfaces in the two or more piezoelectric body layers to a polarization treatment to control remnant polarization of the piezoelectric body layer. The piezoelectric actuator is used as a drive portion of a piezoelectric drive type variable capacitor. The variable capacitor has high mechanical strength and excellent reliability for a long period of time. The relation between the displacement amount of the piezoelectric actuator and the capacity of the capacitor is stable, and the variable capacity is wide.

A droplet discharge device including a plurality of vibrators arranged on an upper surface of a substrate. The substrate has a cavity, discharge hole and supply hole, which serve as a liquid flow path, formed inside a plate including flat upper and lower surfaces. A width of the cavity narrows from the upper surface side toward the lower surface side. A depth of the cavity deepens from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side. The depth of the cavity may become shallower from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side in a part which is positioned on the supply hole side and occupies a relatively small area, and the depth of the cavity may become deeper from the supply hole side toward the discharge hole side in a part which is positioned on the discharge hole side and occupies a relatively large area.
摘要:
A piezoelectric/electrostrictive element having a double-layer structure in which a lower layer electrode film, a lower layer piezoelectric/electrostrictive film, an inner layer electrode film, an upper layer piezoelectric/electrostrictive film and an upper layer electrode film are laminated in this order on a thin portion of a substrate. In the piezoelectric/electrostrictive element, a driving signal is applied between an outer layer electrode film and the inner layer electrode film, whereby the thin portion and a laminate can be subjected to bending vibration. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive film has film thickness distribution in which a film thickness becomes larger in a continuous manner from a center portion of a bending vibration region which is an antinode of a bending first mode toward an edge portion of the bending vibration region which is a node of the bending first mode, along a short side direction of the bending vibration region.
