Publication number: 20240167437Abstract: The fuel vapor treatment apparatus includes a fuel tank, a canister, a vapor passage, a purge passage, a sealing valve, a purge valve, an outside air introduction passage, a switching valve, and a differential pressure detector. A processing device of the fuel vapor treatment apparatus includes a purge control unit and a purge diagnosis unit. The purge control unit performs a purge process by opening the purge valve in a state where the purge valve and the sealing valve are closed and the switching valve is opened. The purge diagnosis unit diagnoses whether or not the purge process is normal based on the amount of change in the differential pressure between before and after the opening of the purge valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuusaku NISHIMURA, Hideki Miyahara, Keita Fukui

Patent number: 11965454Abstract: A thermostat device ensures a coolant amount from a bypass passage sufficiently and excellent temperature sensitivity to the coolant temperature. The thermo-operating unit is provided with a control valve for controlling an introduced coolant amount from a first flow inlet via a radiator, corresponding to the temperature of the coolant from a second flow inlet via a bypass passage. Within the housing are provided multiple guides, which are formed extending from the second flow inlet side toward a thermo-element, are arranged intermittently around the thermo-element, and support the thermo-element slidably movable in an axial direction and coolant rectifying protrusions arranged spaced apart from the thermo-element between the guides, wherein a detoured passage for the coolant, directed from the second flow inlet side toward an outflow port, is formed by forming gaps between the guides and the coolant rectifying protrusions.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: NIPPON THERMOSTAT CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuya Nishimura, Tatsuya Takahata, Shinji Watanabe, Keita Watanabe, Takayuki Tominaga

Patent number: 8875214Abstract: In a television, which can be connected to a portable information terminal, it is possible to display video based on the data of a multimedia file stored on a storage medium even in cases where there is no built-in decoder. In cases where a TV itself does not possess a decoder which can decode the data of a multimedia file selected by the user from the multimedia files stored on the USB memory, the CPU of the TV transmits to a smartphone the data of the selected multimedia file and a decoding request command to request that the data be decoded, thus receiving a video signal and/or an audio signal obtained by various types of decoders of the smartphone. Consequently, the CPU of the TV can output video and/or audio to a display unit and a speaker on the basis of the data of the selected multimedia file.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2013Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Funai Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidetoshi Ishihara, Norihiro Higashi, Keita Nishimura, Kentaro Eto, Keisuke Tsukamoto
