  • Patent number: 10895583
    Abstract: A turbo rotation sensor, which is configured to be mounted on a turbocharger provided with a compressor including a rotary driven compressor wheel housed in a compressor housing, to detect rotation speed of the compressor wheel, is composed of a magnet rotatable integrally with the compressor wheel and having a plurality of magnetic poles in a circumferential direction of the compressor wheel, and a sensor section attached to the compressor housing and including first and second magnetic detection elements capable of detecting a magnetic field in a radial direction of the compressor wheel due to the magnet. The first and second magnetic detection elements are arranged side by side in the radial direction of the compressor wheel. The rotation speed of the compressor wheel can be measured based on a difference between detection results of the first and second magnetic detection elements resulting from a difference between their respective distances from the magnet.

  • Patent number: 10487680
    Abstract: A turbo rotation sensor includes a magnet magnetized with two different magnetic poles along a circumferential direction about a rotating shaft of a compressor wheel and provided at an end portion of the compressor wheel on the air intake side, and a sensor portion that is housed in a sensor hole formed on the housing, is arranged to face the magnet in a radial direction of the rotating shaft, and includes two magnetic field detecting elements capable of measuring variation in magnetic flux density caused by the magnet. The two magnetic field detecting elements are aligned in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft so that the respective detection axes are parallel to an axial direction of the rotating shaft. The rotational speed of the compressor wheel is detected based on a difference between the magnetic field strengths detected by the two magnetic field detecting elements.

  • Patent number: 10403948
    Abstract: A phase shifter includes a signal conductor constituting a transmission line for a signal transmitted through an antenna element, a dielectric plate including a dielectric material disposed to face to the signal conductor, and a mobile mechanism for moving the dielectric plate. A facing area between the signal conductor and the dielectric plate is changed by a movement of the dielectric plate, to change a phase of the signal transmitted through the signal conductor. The dielectric plate includes a transformer unit for impedance matching between an overlapped portion in which the signal conductor faces to the dielectric plate and a non-overlapped portion in which the signal conductor does not face to the dielectric plate.

  • Patent number: 4741279
    Abstract: A method of combusting a coal-water mixture fuel. The mixture is atomized into a conically-shaped primary pre-combustion chamber. Primary air is supplied, at a rate smaller than that required for complete burning of the mixture and in the form of a swirl about the axis of the jet of the atomized mixture, from the peripheral portion of the primary pre-combustion chamber into a secondary pre-combustion chamber connected to said primary pre-combustion chamber, thus forming a region of low pressure around the jet of the mixture. The region of low pressure serves to induce the atmosphere gas from the secondary pre-combustion chamber of higher temperature back into the primary pre-combustion chamber of a lower temperature, so that the water content of the mixture is evaporated and the mixture is ignited by the heat of the hot atmosphere gas.
