Patent number: 6792346Abstract: A cold-state emission-reducing strategy wherein a diagnostic apparatus examines for possible malfunctions of a control unit during cold start. The diagnosis judges that the strategy is faulty if the cumulative amount of fuel injection is equal to or smaller than a predeterminable threshold value for a faulty judgement. Thus, the abnormality of the cold-state emission-reducing strategy is accurately and easily detected, by merely calculating the cumulative amount of an injection pulse width for the injector or the cumulative amount of fuel flow during a predeterminable cumulating time period after engine start, and comparing the calculated cumulative amount with the predeterminable judgement threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2003Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Takebayashi, Hirohide Abe, Kouichi Terada

Patent number: 5798123Abstract: In a center mechanism of a tire press, which the tire size is changed, the lower limit position of an upper clamp ring is changed to a shaping height corresponding to the size of the exchanged tire only by changing a setting of a controller. Consequently, the work related to the tire size change is facilitated. A bladder is inflated and tightly comes into contact with the inner face of a green tire while lowering the upper periphery of the bladder to the shaping height corresponding to the tire size.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1996Date of Patent: August 25, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Hisashi Mitamura, Kashiro Ureshino, Hiroyuki Takebayashi, Hisaaki Onishi, Shogo Sarumaru

Patent number: 5776507Abstract: A center mechanism for a tire vulcanizer having a first cylinder whose stroke can be detected with a simplified structure achieves reduction in cost and improvement in working efficiency upon maintenance. The center mechanism expands, while the first cylinder 1 moves downwardly, a bladder 5 into close contact with an inner face of a green tire. A downward stop position of the first cylinder 1 is set in advance by a linear sensor 14. The stroke amount of the first cylinder 1 is detected by a stroke bracket 12 having a stroke portion 12a extending downwardly in parallel to the first cylinder 1 from within a stem 8 and provided so as to advance into the stem 8 together with a cylinder rod 1a, and a linear sensor 14 for detecting the stroke amount of the first cylinder 1 from the stroke portion 12a of the stroke bracket 12 remaining outside the stem 8.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Kashiro Ureshino, Hiroyuki Takebayashi, Hisaaki Onishi, Hisashi Mitamura

Patent number: 5744169Abstract: A tire press in which a pair of upper and lower molds are opened/closed and squeezed by an operation of a crank mechanism is disclosed. Especially, the tire press is improved in the aspects of its machine accuracy, strength, size, and maintenance. The tire press has: a pair of upper and lower molds; a base for supporting the lower mold; side frames on both sides of the base; a side slot vertically extended in each of the side frames; a top slide which slides along the side slots and holds the upper mold; and a crank mechanism for moving the top slide only in the vertical direction. The crank mechanism includes: a crank gear; a lever attached to the crank gear and whose front and is positioned on the outer side of the outer diameter of the crank gear; and a link connecting a crank fulcrum at the tip of the lever and the top slide sliding along the side slots. The side slot vertically extends parallel to a vertical central line crossing the center of rotation of the crank gear and the crank fulcrum.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1996Date of Patent: April 28, 1998Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko Sho, Kobelco Stewart Bolling, Inc.Inventors: Yasuhiko Fujieda, Hiroyuki Takebayashi, Masaki Naoi

Patent number: 5501206Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system, has an air-fuel ratio feedback control for feedback controlling an-air-fuel ratio of a mixture to be supplied into an engine based on a parameter detected from an exhaust gas discharged from the engine so as to set said air-fuel ratio to a target air-fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine. Vaporized fuel is supplied from a fuel tank to the engine. During an initial interval, the supply of vaporized fuel gradually increases. Learning an updating of a control value are accomplished in the feedback control based on a deviation of the air-fuel ratio from the target air-fuel ratio during supply of the vaporized fuel. Upon a resumption of supply of vaporized fuel, a learned value setting arrangement gradually changes the learned control value from zero (0) to a learned control value obtained during a preceding period of supply of vaporized fuel according to a gradually increasing amount of supply of vaporized fuel over a given interval.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 1994Date of Patent: March 26, 1996Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventor: Hiroyuki Takebayashi

Patent number: 5133232Abstract: A control system for an automatic transmission includes a torque converter having input and output members through which driving power is transmitted. A lock-up clutch is provided in the torque converter for connecting the input and output members without intervention of hydraulic fluid. A multiple stage transmission gear mechanism is connected with the output member of the torque converter and has a plurality of shift gear stages. A shift control device shifts the shift gear stage in accordance with a vehicle operating condition. An engaging force control device controls an engaging force of the lock-up clutch in a manner such that a slip rate of the lock-up clutch is changed. Finally, an acceleration judging device judges a required acceleration, and the engaging force control device reduces the engaging force as the required acceleration is increasd.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1991Date of Patent: July 28, 1992Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Kikuchi, Mitsutoshi Abe, Hiroyuki Takebayashi, Kenji Okamoto
