Appeal 2006-2965 Application 10/320,628 S3) of the winding and the terminal pins (27) to reduce the tensile stress resulting from temperature changes. (Specification 5). As depicted in figures 6 through 8, the invention joins each of the lead portions of a conductor wire (30) (i.e. excitation winding 31 and output winding 32), to one of the terminal pins (27) of a connector (25) on the surface side of an insulator (23) mounted on the sensor core ((21). The lead wire portions (31, 32) are joined to the terminal pins (27) in such a way to create a predetermined amount of slack based on differences in thermal expansion between the conductor wire (30) and the insulator (23). (Specification 12, 18-20). Ohshita discloses a stator winding structure (figure 3) that allows windings to resist vibration, impact and possible breakage following changes in the stator temperature. (col. 1, ll. 5 through 1). As depicted in figure 2, Ohshita teaches inserting and positioning a longitudinal rod (10) between the teeth (2) of the stator (1) and the terminal (6) before joining the end portions (4a) of the winding (4) to terminal pins (6) of the terminal plate (5) disposed in the stator (col. 2, lines 21-26). Additionally, Ohshita teaches removing the longitudinal rod member subsequently to joining the winding ends (4a) to the terminal pins (6) to form the slack portions (4aA) to the winding ends (4a).
