  • Publication number: 20240131857
    Abstract: A recording device includes: a drive source; a driven portion having a driven gear; a drive transmission mechanism having a drive gear driven by the drive source and capable of swing between a first position where the drive gear is engaged with the driven gear and a second position where the drive gear is not engaged with the driven gear; and a regulating mechanism capable of swing between a regulating position where swing of the drive transmission mechanism is regulated and a non-regulating position where the swing of the drive transmission mechanism is not regulated. In the recording device, the regulating mechanism is capable of swing around a rotation axis of the driven gear.

  • Publication number: 20240083259
    Abstract: An electric vehicle including a motor as a driving source includes: an accelerator; a pseudo shifter mimicking a gear changing operation; a pseudo clutch mimicking a clutch operation; a detector detecting an operation mode performed on each of the accelerator, pseudo shifter, and pseudo clutch by a driver, and a rotation speed of a driving wheel; a reaction force generator generating a reaction force in the pseudo shifter in response to a driver operation performed thereon; and a controller determining the reaction force. The controller includes a processor and a memory coupled thereto. The processor calculates a virtual differential rotation speed that is based on a virtual engine rotation speed, mimicking an engine rotation speed when the driving source is assumed as being an engine, and the rotation speed based on a detection result of the detector, and determines the reaction force based on the virtual differential rotation speed.

    Abstract: A method may produce (2-methoxyethyl) vinyl ether with a high purity from 2-methoxyethanol and acetylene. Such a method may include the A1, A2, and A3: (A1) synthesizing a vinyl ether including causing 2-methoxyethanol to react with acetylene to obtain a mixture containing unreacted 2-methoxyethanol and (2-methoxyethyl) vinyl ether; (A2) acetalizing including causing a reaction of the unreacted 2-methoxyethanol and the (2-methoxyethyl) vinyl ether in the mixture in the presence of an acid catalyst to be converted into acetaldehyde bis(2-methoxyethyl)acetal; and (A3) removing the acetaldehyde bis(2-methoxyethyl)acetal by distillation from an acetal-containing mixture obtained in step A2.
