Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow temperature compensation with desired accuracy, even when the offset and the gain of an electrical sensor output signal has non-linear temperature dependences and second latent higher temperature dependences. SOLUTION: A sensor temperature compensation circuit has a sensor and a non-linear temperature compensation circuit that compensates for non-linear temperature dependences on the offset and/or the gain generated by the sensor. For instance, a summer adds two offset compensation signals, the ratio between which is a function of the temperature, to at least partially compensate for the offset temperature dependences. The summed signal may then be used to provide the non-linear temperature compensation to the offset. Alternatively or additionally, the summer adds two gain compensation signals, a ratio between which is a function of temperature, to at least partially compensate for the gain temperature dependences. The summed signal may then be used to provide non-linear temperature compensation to the gain. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a physical quantity detector by which a resilient section with high dimensional precision and surface flatness can be formed without causing pores (gaseous holes) and defective filling inside the resilient section, and consequently the physical quantity detector excellent in sensor characteristic can be manufactured inexpensively by few number of steps. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the physical quantity detector having a cylinder section closed at one end with the resilient section and a sensor section formed above the resilient section is characterized in that the cylinder section is manufactured by filling a metallic mold (10) with a molten alloy material having the composition enabling an amorphous alloy to be formed, after that cooling the molten alloy material to be converted to the amorphous alloy, and in that the metallic mold is constituted of two or more split dies (11, 12) forming a cavity (14) and an insert pin (19) which is inserted in the cavity to regulate the inner shape of the cylinder section and further, the the metallic mold is equipped with an insert core (16) which is inserted into the metallic mold so as to form the face corresponding to the resilient section in the cavity. In another embodiment, the parting plane of the metallic mold is formed with the cavity so as to correspond to the resilient section surface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pressure sensor device capable of suppressing increase in size of a case member with respect to a board. SOLUTION: When a pressure sensor device 100 is assembled, the board 410 is attached to the case member 300, and cover nail parts 660, 670 are locked to the case member 300 from the outer surface side to attach a cover member 600 in such a state that the case member 300 is covered. A holder member 700 and the case member 300 are locked by a tongue piece protruded part, the movement of the cover nail parts 660, 670 in the direction separating from the outer surface of the case member 300 is prevented by a side protruded part 721A and a side part 731, and the cover member 600 is covered. In such a state, the holder member 700 is attached. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid control structure of a micro flow passage having no restriction on a substrate material of a microchip and capable of blocking the flow passage securely to ensure pressure proof property and to provide a blocking member, the microchip, various application devices, and a blocking member operation device. SOLUTION: This structure is constituted by pushing a valve 30 into a hole 20 of the microchip 1 to block the flow passage FA, a movable part for blocking the flow passage FA is the valve 30 itself, and there is no necessity for blocking the flow passage FA by deforming substrates 11, 12. For this reason, even a hard material can be used in the substrates 11, 12 of the microchip 1 to improve reliability and general-purpose property greatly. Since an elastic member 32 comes into close contact with a peripheral fringe 21 of the hole 20 and an end part 142 of a channel 14 due to elastic deformation, the flow passage FA is securely blocked to ensure pressure proof property. The operation device provided with a pressing means of the valve 30 arranged in the microchip 1 is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a diaphragm pump with stable pump efficiency. SOLUTION: The diaphragm pump 10 is provided with an insertion part for inserting and retaining a connection part 33 of a movable element 30; a meandering spring part formed so as to be meandered from the insertion part in a radial direction of the movable element 30; and an outer peripheral mounting part provided on an end of the meandering spring part and fixed to a spring fixing part 212A of a case 20. The diaphragm pump 10 is provided with a spring member 50 in which the insertion part, the meandering spring part and the outer peripheral mounting part are arranged on a spring formation surface approximately crossing to an axis of the movable element 30. Therefore, since the insertion part is supported approximately on the axis of the case 20 by the meandering spring part and movement in a direction that the meandering spring part is provided is restricted, movement in a radial direction of the movable element 30 is restricted and deviation of the axis of the movable element 30, inclination and contact with an electro-magnet part can be prevented. Accordingly, the movable element 30 can be stably vibrated on the axis and the pump efficiency of the diaphragm pump 10 can be stabilized. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic component capable of extensively miniaturizing and easily manufacturing and a sensor equipped with the electronic component. SOLUTION: By the structure of the substrates 21 and 22 which are mutually piled while holding the conductive patterns 221-223 in between, the holes on the substrates 21 and 22 can be eliminated because the substrate piled body 20 makes a continuity through the conductive patterns 221-223. Therefore, the dead space necessary for providing the holes can be eliminated. Consequently the extensive miniaturization can be attained, and the conductive patterns 221-223 and the substrates 21, 22 are only connected while dispensing with boring, and the easy and low cost manufacturing can be allowed. Therefore, both end faces 23, 24 of the substrate piled body 20 can be brought in continuity and at the same time communication of the air is allowable i.e. field through structure can be realized, and the ultra small pressure sensor 1 can be manufactured.
