Abstract:
A washer nozzle removes foreign matter on an image capturing surface of a camera mounted to the outside of a vehicle by supplying washer fluid to the image capturing surface. The washer nozzle includes an inside spray hole and a discharge portion. The inside spray hole sprays the washer fluid introduced into the washer nozzle. The discharge portion receives washer fluid sprayed from the inside spray hole. The discharge portion has a passage extending in a direction intersecting the spray direction of the washer fluid and a discharge port connected to the passage. The discharge portion discharges, from the discharge port, washer fluid sprayed from the inside spray hole along the image capturing surface, while filling the passage with the washer fluid, thereby washing the image capturing surface.

Abstract:
A measurement system for circuit parameters of a device under test (DUT) that reduces the number of attachments and detachments of calibration kits. An error factor acquisition device includes a first calibrator connected to ports of a network analyzer that has a first state realization unit that determines open-circuit, short-circuit, and standard load states for the ports. Second calibrators connected to the first calibrator and the DUT have a second state realization unit that determines open-circuit, short-circuit, and standard load states for the ports. The first calibrator includes first connection units that connect the ports to the first state realization unit or to the respective second calibrators, while the second calibrators respectively include a second connection unit that connects the ports to the second state realization unit or the DUT.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a cabinet having an opening, a door provided to open/close the cabinet opening, a washing chamber member provided in the cabinet and forming a washing chamber facing the opening, a washing nozzle provided facing in a certain direction of the washing chamber, a circulation pump coupled to the washing nozzle, the bottom portion of washing chamber and an external drain outlet, a driving source provided outside the washing chamber, a power transmission mechanism provided at a corner on one side in cabinet behind and outside the washing chamber, and a control circuit controlling the circulation pump and driving source. By the power transmitting mechanism, a dish washing basket placed in the washing chamber is rotated. Since the power transmitting mechanism is placed in a corner behind the washing chamber, the dishwasher can be made smaller.
Abstract:
A surface mounting type connector has a connector plug on its front and has a connector housing from which connector pins project at the rear. The connector pin holder is placed at the rear of the connector housing, and has through holes formed therein. Each of these through holes in positioned corresponding to one of the connector pins. On the inner surfaces of the through holes, through-hole conductors are formed. On one or both main planes of the connector pin holder, conductive patterns are connected to each of the through-hole conductors. Each of the tips of the connector pins is inserted into one of the through holes in the connector pin holder, and these tips of the connector pins are connected to the corresponding conductive patterns via the through-hole conductors. The connector housing is mounted onto the circuit board with its bottom plane on the circuit board, and the conductive patterns on the connector pin holder are connected to correspond with circuit patterns that are formed on the surface of the circuit board.
Abstract:
In the chip type component installation structure wherein chips are arranged to be joined by solder to a fitting pattern provided on a printed substrate, resist films are set separately in the space of the fitting pattern in order to reduce the quantity of solder. The resist films are set in the space of the fitting pattern separately, so that the structure provides a lesser quantity of solder to join and fix chips, a continuous solder band over the fitting pattern, and a lesser but sufficient quantity of the solder. The structure prevents cracks and breakages of chips due to the expansion and contraction of solder, increases the polarity of solder against chips and electrodes, shortens the soldering time, and increases the reliability of chip installation work.
Abstract:
A filter connector comprises a connector body which includes a conductive shell and an insulating insert provided in the conductive shell and having a plurality of through holes. First ends of upper first terminal pins are inserted in the through holes of the insert. Second ends of the first terminal pins pass out the back of the connector body. At least one of the plurality of terminal pins is adapted to support a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a conductive pattern which is electrically connected with at least one of the upper first terminal pins. A second terminal pin is electrically connected to the conductive pattern, whereby the second terminal pin is electrically connected with at least one of the first terminal pins. A plurality of filter elements are inserted in a current path between at least one of the first terminal pins and the second terminal pin. At least one of the filter elements is provided on the printed circuit board, and is inserted in the current path by being electrically connected to the conductive pattern on the printed circuit board.
Abstract:
In a preferred form of an "auto cooking" microwave heating appliance, there are provided two sensors, typically, a gas sensor and a heat-sensible element (i.e. thermistor) within a passageway for outgoing air from a heating chamber. In addition to a switching means for controlling an enabling circuit for a microwave source such as a magnetron, a cook switch is provided which is common to all of the different kinds of foodstuff to be heated. A microcomputer is provided which generates a heating stop instruction for the enabling circuit for the microwave source in response to not only output signals from the heat-sensible element and the gas sensor but also a stored program in the microcomputer. Based upon the rate of timewise variations in the output signal from the gas sensor, the microcomputer decides what kind of foodstuff is being heated and then establishes an intended final level at which the gas sensor shall reach at the end of heating and an intended final level at which the heat-sensible element shall reach at the end of heating. A heating end instruction is issued when both the gas sensor and the heat-sensible element reach their intended final levels.
Abstract:
Errors of a measuring system are corrected by acquiring the phases of transmission tracking errors. A network analyzer includes a measuring system error factor recording unit which records measuring system error factors generated independently of frequency conversion carried out by a DUT, and an error factor acquiring unit which measures first coefficients and second coefficients of a correction mixer where a signal output from a terminal is a sum of a product of a signal input to the terminal and the first coefficient, and a product of a signal input to the other terminal and the second coefficient, and the ratio of magnitudes of the second coefficients is constant, and acquires the transmission tracking errors caused by the frequency conversion based on the measuring system error factors recorded in the measuring system error factor recording unit, the first coefficients, and the second coefficients.
