20110044799 | FAN APPARATUS - A fan apparatus includes first axial fans each arranged with a rotation axis thereof extending perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to a mounting surface provided in a case designed to contain an electronic device; and second axial fans each having a rotation axis coinciding with the rotation axis of a separate one of the first axial fans. The first axial fans are arranged to rotate in a first rotation direction to introduce, send, or discharge air into, inside, or out of the case, while the second axial fans are arranged to rotate in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction to cause a flow of air in the same direction in which the first axial fans cause a flow of air. Both of the first axial fans and the second axial fans either share a common single-piece housing or have separate housings joined together. | 02-24-2011 |
20110047560 | MOTOR, STORAGE DISK DRIVE APPARATUS AND MOTOR MANUFACTURING METHOD - A motor includes a stationary unit, a bearing mechanism, a rotary unit, and a chucking device. The rotary unit includes a rotor yoke provided with a cover portion extending around the chucking device and designed to allow the storage disk to be directly or indirectly mounted thereto and a removal-preventing member fixed to the cover portion to prevent removal of the rotary unit from the stationary unit. The removal-preventing member made of metal. The removal-preventing member includes a removal-preventing portion, an upper fixing portion having a plurality of upper protrusions inserted into the through-holes of the cover portion and bent toward the upper surface of the cover portion, and a lower fixing portion making direct or indirect contact with the lower surface of the cover portion and cooperating with the upper fixing portion to fix the position of the removal-preventing portion in a direction parallel to the center axis. | 02-24-2011 |
20110047561 | MOTOR AND STORAGE DISK DRIVE APPARATUS - A motor includes a bearing mechanism, a stationary unit including a stator arranged radially outwards of the bearing mechanism, and a rotary unit supported by the bearing mechanism at the upper side of the stationary unit for rotation about a center axis with respect to the stationary unit. The rotary unit includes a substantially cylindrical closed-top rotor yoke having a cover portion arranged to cover the stator. The bearing mechanism includes a substantially cylindrical closed-bottom bush formed by a press work, a sleeve fixed inside the bush and provided with an upper portion protruding beyond the bush and a shaft inserted into the sleeve. An upper end of the bush is lower than or flush with an upper end of the stator in a direction parallel to the center axis. | 02-24-2011 |
20110058334 | FAN APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND FAN-ATTACHED CASE - A fan apparatus includes an array of a plurality of axial fans arranged in at least two rows and at least two columns in parallel with a mounting surface provided in a case of an electronic device. Each of the plurality of axial fans has a rotation axis extending perpendicularly or substantially perpendicularly to the mounting surface. At least one of the plurality of axial fans is arranged to rotate in a first rotation direction to introduce air into the case or discharge air out of the case, while the other of the plurality of axial fans are arranged to rotate in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction to cause a flow of air in the same direction in which the at least one axial fan is arranged to cause a flow of air. Thus, a reduction in noise is achieved. | 03-10-2011 |

20110230984 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE - Provided is an illumination device which can be used in a manner suitable for the condition. The exchange time information to be acquired from an LED illumination lamp by an illumination instrument or the exchange time information to be stored by the illumination instrument itself is recognized by a controller at and via an ON/OFF control-dedicated switch control line of the LED illumination lamp. Alternatively, the acquisition of the exchange time information and ON/OFF-control of the LED illumination lamp are performed by the controller at hand via a general-purpose power line. The exchange time information is acquired from the illumination instrument in an OFF period of the LED illumination lamp, so that the exchange information can be acquired by simple information transmission means regardless of the ON-period noise. The exchange time information acquisition function is checked on a daily basis so as to cope with an alarm after a long period. The exchange time check result is stored so as to execute the alarm at an appropriate timing. The exchange time information held by the LED illumination lamp itself is transmitted firstly to the illumination instrument by simple information transmission means. The information is recognized by using a control path existing between the illumination instrument and the controller at hand. | 09-22-2011 |
20120019165 | ILLUMINATION DEVICE - The illumination device disclosed in the present specification has a light source, a touchless sensor for detecting proximity and movement of an object without contact, and a control unit for controlling the driving of the light source on the basis of an output of the touchless sensor. | 01-26-2012 |
20120250305 | LED BULB - An LED bulb includes one or more light emitting parts including one or more LED chips, a mount including a bulging portion in which one or more mounting surfaces on which the one or more light emitting parts are mounted are formed, a base attached to the mount, and a globe which covers the bulging portion and transmits light. | 10-04-2012 |
20130003361 | LED LIGHTBULB - An LED lightbulb is configured to properly illuminate a broader region. The LED lightbulb includes a light emitting unit, a pedestal, a power source unit, a heat dissipator, a base, and a globe swelling toward one side in a first direction for enclosing the light emitting unit. The globe is configured to diffusingly transmit light from the light emitting unit. The light emitting unit provides a light amount not less than 50% of the maximum light amount in a region not exceeding ±60° about the central axis extending in the first direction set as 0°. The globe provides a light amount not less than 50% in a region exceeding ±125° about the central axis set as 0°. | 01-03-2013 |
