  • Publication number: 20180099391
    Abstract: An electric power tool of one aspect of the present disclosure includes a housing, a motor, an output shaft, a first power transmission, a second power transmission, a common sensor, a twisted-motion detector, and a vibration-based load detector. The common sensor detects a motion of the housing and outputs a detection signal indicating the detected motion. The twisted-motion detector detects a twisted-motion of the housing in a circumferential direction of the output shaft based on the detection signal. The vibration-based load detector detects a vibration of the housing in an axial direction of the output shaft based on the detection signal and detects a load on the output shaft based on the detected vibration.

  • Publication number: 20180099394
    Abstract: An electric power tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a main body, a motor, a tool holder configured to hold a tool bit, a hammer, a motion converter, a rotation transmitter, a first load detector, a second load detector, and a motor controller. The first load detector detects, based on information indicating a drive state of the motor, a load imposed from a work piece to the tool bit. The second load detector detects, based on information indicating a behavior of the main body, a load imposed from the work piece to the tool bit. The motor controller sets an upper limit of rotational speed of the motor to a predetermined no-load rotational speed in response to no-load on the tool bit being detected by both the first load detector and the second load detector.

  • Patent number: 9653753
    Abstract: The demand for improvements in lithium non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries has been constantly increasing in recent years, but the durability—most prominently the cycle characteristics—have resided in a trade off relationship with properties such as the capacity, resistance, and output characteristics. A problem has thus been a poor overall property balance. In order to solve this problem, the present invention uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution including, in addition to an electrolyte and a non-aqueous solvent, (A) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of carbonates having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond, compounds represented by the following general formula (1), sulfoxides, sulfites, sulfones, sulfonates, sultones, and sulfates; (B) a fluorine atom-containing cyclic carbonate; and (C) a compound that has at least two isocyanate groups in the molecule.
