Publication number: 20200336052Abstract: A rotary actuator is used in a shift-by-wire system for a vehicle. The rotary actuator includes a stator, a rotor, a rotor support member, a controller, a controller fixing member, and a vibration absorber. The rotor is configured to be rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor support member rotatably supports a rotary shaft of the rotor. The controller controls energization to the stator. The controller is fixed to the controller fixing member. The vibration absorber prevents vibration transfer between the rotor support member and the controller fixing member.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2020Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Kazunori SHIMADA, Mikine KUME, Hiroyuki KADO

Publication number: 20200244195Abstract: A motor control device controls a two-phase motor. The two-phase motor obtains a combined torque, which serves as an output torque. The A-phase and B-phase motor portions being joined having a phase difference in terms of structure. The motor control device sets each of A-phase and B-phase drive currents supplied to the A-phase and B-phase motor portions to control the two-phase motor. The motor control device includes a fundamental wave setting unit that sets a sinusoidal fundamental wave current of the A-phase and B-phase drive currents, and a superimposing wave setting unit that sets a high-order harmonic current superimposed on the fundamental wave current. The superimposing wave setting unit sets the high-order harmonic current of at least one of “4n+1”th-order and “4n?1”th-order to reduce a component of “4n”th-order in torque pulsation of the combined torque, and “n” is a natural number.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2018Publication date: July 30, 2020Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazunori SHIMADA, Toshihiro UCHIDA, Yoshiaki TAKEMOTO

The phase stator unit and the B-phase stator unit respectively contain a coil unit and a pair of stator cores, each pair of stator cores having a plurality of claw-shaped magnetic poles. The rotor comprises at least two permanent magnets facing the claw-shaped magnetic poles of the A-phase stator unit and the claw-shaped magnetic poles of the B-phase stator unit, respectively. The A-phase stator unit and the B-phase stator unit are provided side by side in the axial direction, displaced from one another by a prescribed electrical angle. The two permanent magnets are arranged side by side in the axial direction, displaced from one another by a prescribed electrical angle. The direction of displacement between the A-phase stator unit and the B-phase stator unit is the opposite of the direction of displacement between the two permanent magnets.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2016Publication date: September 20, 2018Applicant: ASMO CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshiaki TAKEMOTO, Shigemasa KATO, Masashi MATSUDA, Hironari SUZUKI, Kazunori SHIMADA, Sho NAKANO, Takahiro TSUCHIYA

Patent number: 7783180Abstract: In an imaging apparatus, an imaging element picks up an object image focused thereon through an image pickup lens. An angle-rate sensor detects a shake amount of the imaging apparatus. An optical shake-compensation unit is prepared to move the image pickup lens based on the shake amount detected by the angle-rate sensor to compensate for a shake of the object image. A base plate shake-compensation unit is prepared to move the imaging element based on the shake amount detected by the angle-rate sensor to compensate for a shake of the object image and a control unit selectively controls operation of the optical shake-compensation unit and operation of the base plate shake-compensation unit, thereby compensating for a shake of the object image focused on the imaging element.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiko Kanda, Kazunori Shimada

Antibacterial member, method of preparing the same, antibacterial filter and antibacterial container
Patent number: 7077272Abstract: An antibacterial member is constituted such that a propolis component is contained in, or adhered to, a water-insoluble base member. This antibacterial member is mixed into a filter member to be disposed in a flow passage in an antibacterial filter. Water in the antibacterial filter receives the antibacterial action from the propolis component when coming in contact with the antibacterial member. Thus, microorganisms in water is extinguished, and generation and propagation of germs, bacteria, algae and the like are suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2001Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Healthybank Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazunori Shimada -
