  • Publication number: 20170016363
    Abstract: A first fitting portion is coupled to a protruding end of the crankshaft to be rotatable about a crankshaft rotational axis. An intermediate member includes a first hole wall slidably supporting the first fitting portion in a first direction orthogonal to the crankshaft rotational axis so that the intermediate member rotates together with the crankshaft. An inner rotor includes a second hole wall slidably supporting the second fitting portion in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and the crankshaft rotational axis so that the inner rotor rotates together with the intermediate member. One of the first direction and the second direction is in parallel with a line segment joining the crankshaft rotational axis and an axis of a crankpin of the internal combustion engine which is closest to the protruding end of the crankshaft.

  • Patent number: 7600412
    Abstract: To obtain data having high reliability required for determining bearing capacity of the pile in a short time and economically, a pseudostatic pile load testing method comprises processes that a drop height of a heavy weight (2) dropped on a pile head of a pile (1) is changed higher step by step, the heavy weight (2) is dropped from each of the heights, a time change of an acceleration of the pile head by that impact is determined by an accelerometer (4) installed at the pile head, and a displacement of the pile head is determined as an integrated value of the acceleration determined by the accelerometer (4).
