Patent number: 9835477Abstract: A wheel assembly rotational position identifying apparatus includes an acceleration detector, a control section, and a battery. The control section identifies the rotational position of the wheel assembly based on an acceleration detected by the acceleration detector. The control section operates in a control mode that is a selected one of a normal mode and a power saving mode, in which a power consumption associated with identification of the rotational position of the wheel assembly is smaller than that in the normal mode. The control section switches the control mode to the normal mode when an initiation condition is met in accordance with an input from outside. The control section also switches the control mode to the power saving mode when a termination condition is met in the normal mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Yasuhisa Tsujita

Patent number: 9434217Abstract: In a wheel position detection apparatus, a first controlling section of a transmitter repeatedly transmits a frame including specific identification information at a timing when an angle of the transmitter is at a predetermined angle. A second control unit of a receiver receives the frame transmitted from the transmitter, and identifies which of a plurality of wheels the transmitter that has transmitted the frame is attached to. The receiver changes an allowable range of variability in accordance with a road surface condition indicated by a degree of road surface roughness every time the frame is received, and sets the allowable range of variability wider for a road surface that is rough than for a road surface that is not rough.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Masashi Mori, Takatoshi Sekizawa, Yoshinori Hayashi, Takao Araya

Patent number: 9399935Abstract: In an oil pan inner tank valve structure, a disc-shaped float valve is arranged below a valve port that provides fluid communication between the inside and outside of a bottom wall of an inner tank, and a lower cover is arranged below the float valve. In addition, a center recess is depressed at a lower surface center of the float valve, and a lateral movement restricting pin is upright from the lower cover and is constantly engaged with the center recess by recess/protrusion engagement. The lower cover restricts a vertically movable range of the float valve. In addition, the lateral movement restricting pin restricts lateral movement of the float valve so that a top portion of an upper surface bulged portion vertically constantly faces an area inside a valve seat.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignees: PACIFIC INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD., TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Tomonari Inoue, Tsutomu Okuda, Yoshifumi Taga, Hiroyuki Sato, Kazuya Yoshijima, Atsushi Konno
