  • Patent number: 8702560
    Abstract: [Object] Motorization of a running gear of a construction machine traveling on wheels is realized without enormous increases in vehicle-body dimensions and costs. [Solution Means] A wheeled excavator 41 includes travel wheels 10, 11 installed in a vehicle body, an engine 3, a running motor-generator 15, an inverter 21 and a battery 22 which are electrically connected to the motor-generator 15, a hydraulic pump 4 driven by the engine, and a power transmission mechanism which transmits power among the engine 3, the wheels 10, 11, the running motor-generator 15, and the hydraulic pump 4. A clutch 23 which connects and disconnects the power transmission between the engine 3 and the wheels 10, 11 is provided in the power transmission mechanism. In a required area on the vehicle body, a clutch switching means is mounted for switching the clutch 23 to a disengaged state during a level road run and to an engaged state during a downhill run.

  • Patent number: 7445091
    Abstract: An electrically operated brake device in which braking force differences between electrically operated brakes are reduced to prevent unstable vehicle traveling during braking. Motors 13 of electrically operated brakes are returned to standard positions during the stop of a vehicle and the motor 13 of each of the brakes is driven for a predetermined amount, pressing a brake pad 17 against a disc rotor 18 to produce a braking force. An electric current value of each motor 13 in the above operation is measured and differences between the values are calculated. Electric current of each motor is increased or decreased so that there is no current difference between the motors 13. Based on a drive amount of each motor in this operation, standard positions of the motors are determined and updated. Repeating the above operations reduces braking force differences between the brakes.

  • Publication number: 20060117886
    Abstract: In a parallel shaft-type of conical-geared transmission apparatus, a conical pinion is fitted to a first rotation shaft, and a second rotation shaft is arranged in parallel to this first rotation shaft. A conical wheel meshing with the conical pinion is fitted to the second rotation shaft. The pinion and the wheel are substantially equal in cone angle. A supporting device supports the first rotation shaft to be movable in the axial direction. A pressing device applies thrust in the axial direction of the first rotation shaft. A load bearing body to bear the thrust applied by the pressing device and to allow the first rotation shaft to be displaced in the radial direction is provided at an end of the first rotation shaft.

  • Patent number: 6089208
    Abstract: When the power source of a motor is turned off, a cam connected to the motor is held at an initial default stopping position by a return spring generating a torque in one direction and a throttle valve connected to a cam via an arm, and a valve gear is held at a corresponding default opening position. When the motor rotates and generates its torque, the arm first closes the throttle valve to a prescribed minimum opening and then opens the throttle valve in the fully open direction.

  • Patent number: 6051613
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition containing an extract from inflammatory tissue inoculated with vaccinia virus may be used to suppress the death of cells caused by endotoxin, and suppress excessive production of nitrogen monoxide induced by endotoxin. The extract may also be used to relieve hypotension induced by endotoxin. In sepsis and other serious bacterial infectious diseases, endotoxin (an intracellular toxin) is produced and a shock symptom is induced by its action. The extract, having an excellent inhibitory action toward endotoxin-induced toxicity, is quite useful for the treatment or the prevention of endotoxin-induced shock symptoms, sepsis and various symptoms accompanied thereby. In addition, the extract has an inhibitory action towards abnormal nitrogen monoxide production during the diseased state and, therefore, it is also useful as a therapeutic and preventive agent for diseases wherein an excessive nitrogen monoxide production occurs, such as acute hypotension.
