A voltage regulator having a single I/F terminal is disclosed. According to the teachings of the present invention, the I/F terminal of the present invention precludes the use of an I terminal alternator model and a separate F terminal model. The I/F terminal provides the function of both the I and F terminal which were heretofore provided in separate voltage regulator models.

In a common mode choke coil, a closed magnetic circuit core (2) is divided in parallel with its magnetic circuit, and formed by superimposing together for integration a first divided magnetic core (2a), a second divided magnetic core (2b) and a third divided magnetic core (2c) which are made of an oxide magnetic substance having the high permeability. Since the closed magnetic circuit core (2) is made of the oxide magnetic substance having the high permeability, the impedance in the low frequenc...

A common rail injector, having a nozzle body that is secured with the aid of a lock nut to a retaining body having a fuel inlet, which communicates with a central high-pressure fuel reservoir outside the injector and with a pressure chamber inside the injector. From the pressure chamber, as a function of the position of a control valve, fuel subjected to high pressure is injected. The control valve assures that a nozzle needle, which can reciprocate in a longitudinal bore of the injector axially...

A common-mode choking coil comprises a closed magnetic path core which is formed, for example, by combining two U-shaped cores. Two coils wound in opposite respective directions are mounted on two legs of the closed magnetic path core. These coils are formed by single-layer winding. That is a conductor wire is wound in only one layer, for example, around a bobbin. Then, the bobbins whereon the conductor wire is wound are mounted on the two legs of the closed magnetic path core. For the conductor...

A common rail includes a main pipe rail having a circulating passage extending in its inside in the axial direction thereof, branch holes formed in an axial peripheral wall portion of the main pipe rail, and branch connectors connected to the respective branch holes integrally or via separate connecting members. A Ni-diffused fatigue strength reinforcing layer is formed by heating a Ni layer plated in advance on at least a portion of an inner circumferential surface of the common rail. The incre...

A common mode choke coil is realized in which countermeasures against leakage flux are taken so as to reduce adverse effects on an external apparatus. Coils 291, 292 are wound around a toroidal magnetic core 22 and sandwich a partition plate 27 provided within an inner circumference of the magnetic core so as to cancel out respective magnetic fluxes produced by the coils relative to a normal mode current. A belt-like magnetic shield plate 24 is provided in a direction along leakage fluxes from t...

The invention provides an apparatus for extracting a common structure from two three-dimensional structures each formed from a set of sequenced points. The apparatus is constructed so as to extract one of common portions with which the common portion length of the two point sets superposed with each other exhibits a greatest length and the cumulative sum of distances between matched points of the two point sets superposed with each other exhibits a lowest value as an optimum common structure. Th...

A common mode termination includes a shielded connector, a receive section and a transmit section, each section comprising an isolation transformer, a common mode transformer, a reference autotransformer, and an AC shield return. Each transmit section reference autotransformer and receive section reference autotransformer has a center tap for the application of a bias voltage and a bias voltage return. The bias voltage is fed through a common mode transformer, and the resultant common mode termi...

An integrated scanner for scanning a barcode is formed on a common substrate. The scanner may include a micro-machined mirror, a laser diode, and a detector, mounted on a single substrate or several connected substrates. Lenses can be used to focus a laser beam from the laser diode as well as expand a laser beam deflected by the micro-machined mirror. The scanner may also scan a barcode without using a micro-machined mirror by rotating the laser diode.

An improvement to a code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) system employing spread-spectrum modulation, with the CDMA system having a base station (BS) and a plurality of remote stations. The base station has a BS-spread-spectrum transmitter and a BS-spread-spectrum receiver. A remote station has an RS-spread-spectrum transmitter and an RS-spread-spectrum receiver. The BS transmitter transmits a broadcast common-synchronization channel, which includes a frame-timing signal. The broadcast common-sy...
