Publication number: 20230327145Abstract: A fuel flow groove formed in a fuel electrode current collector of a fuel electrode of a fuel cell includes a plurality of flow groove portions disposed in parallel, and a plurality of return groove portions connecting an end portion of one side edge portion or an end portion of the other side edge portion of the flow groove portions of two adjacent groups. Each of the return groove portions has an inner wall surface portion facing the end portion of the flow groove portions in the return groove portions. The inner wall surface portion has a curved surface shape in which a distance facing each other from the inner wall surface portion to the end portion of the flow groove portions, gradually decreases toward both end portions of the inner side wall surface portion in a direction orthogonal to an extending direction of the flow groove portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2020Publication date: October 12, 2023Applicants: JTEKT CORPORATION, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION KANAZAWA UNIVERSITYInventors: Takuya TSUJIGUCHI, Noriyasu HAYASHI, Toshiyuki SAITO, Motoo NAKAI, Atsushi KUBO, Akihiro TAKAZATO

Patent number: 9227657Abstract: In a vehicle steering system configured to reduce the burden placed on an operator when steered wheels are returned to a neutral position, a knob for operating a steering wheel is turnably attached to the steering wheel. A switch is attached to the knob. A steered system ECU includes a target steered angle setting unit. The target steered angle setting unit changes a target steered angle to a steered angle corresponding to a position closer to the neutral position of the steered wheels when the switch is turned on in a state where the turning amount of the steering wheel from a turning angle of the steering wheel corresponding to the neutral position of the steered wheels is within a prescribed range.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Ryouhei Hayama, Akihiro Takazato

Patent number: 9056625Abstract: There is provided a vehicle steering system that facilitates fine steering of a vehicle body regardless of the operated state of a steering wheel. The steering wheel is provided with a lever used to operate the steering wheel. A support mechanism supports and rotates the lever relative to the steering wheel such that the lever is tiltable in the rightward direction and the leftward direction relative to the vehicle body regardless of a turning angle of the steering wheel. The support mechanism includes a support member fixed to the steering wheel, a base disposed on the support member and rotatably supported by the support member, and a gear mechanism used to rotate the base as the steering wheel is turned.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi Tashiro, Akihiro Takazato

Patent number: 8554415Abstract: A steering system for a motor vehicle equipped with a cargo-handling machine including a pair of left and right loading portions is provided. The steering system includes a turning actuator that turns a steered wheel according to an operation of a steering member, and a side shift actuator that shifts the pair of loading portions in the left-right direction. A control unit that controls driving of the side shift actuator includes a target side shift amount calculating section that calculates a target side shift amount of the pair of loading portions based on lateral acceleration detected by a lateral acceleration sensor.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: JTEKT CorporationInventor: Akihiro Takazato
