Patent number: 6786093Abstract: Balancing apparatus that supports and rotates a body to be measured with a rotating mechanism so that the body vibrates due to the dynamic imbalance thereof. The vibration of the body is transmitted to a vibration member and then detected by a sensor. A vibrator is connected to the vibration member. The vibrator applies to the vibration member a vibration that is an inverse of a vibration that will be generated in the vibration member by an ideal body having an ideal dynamic imbalance.

Patent number: 6631640Abstract: A method and an apparatus for accurately measuring an initial imbalance deviating from a predetermined imbalance, when the predetermined imbalance is to be left in a body of rotation. In the method and apparatus, data relating to the predetermined imbalance is stored in a memory 27 as dummy value information. The vibration of a crank shaft 1 during rotation is detected by vibration sensors 6L, 6R to obtain analogue vibration signals WDL, WDR. The rotational angle position of the crank shaft 1 is detected by a photo sensor 8 and, in response, the above described dummy value information is converted to analogue dummy signals DLX, DLY, DRX and DRY by multi D/A converters 12L, 12R, 13L and 13R. These analogue dummy signals are removed from the analogue vibration signals to obtain analogue initial imbalance signals WL, WR, which are converted by D/A converter to obtain the digital initial imbalance value.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2001Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Kokusai Keisokuki Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroki Miura

Publication number: 20020002668Abstract: When a process branches to an interrupt processing routine, the value stored in a return address holding register ERP is transferred to a register R2 via the initial MOVS instruction. Upon the next SETPR instruction (an acceptable interrupt level setting instruction), an EA (interrupt allowance) flag is automatically set at 1, whereby multiple interrupts are allowed. For process returning, the value saved in the register R2 is transferred to the ERP register via a data transfer instruction MOVS, upon which the EA flag is automatically set at 0 to thereby inhibit receipt of interrupt requests. Upon execution of the last RETI instruction, receipt of interrupt requests is again allowed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 1997Publication date: January 3, 2002Inventors: HIROKI MIURA, YASUHITO KOUMURA, KENSHI MATSUMOTO
