Patent number: 6254410Abstract: Described is a connector in which a plug can be pulled out of a receptacle without producing stress in the connector itself or a circuit board on which the connector is mounted. The plug is inserted into the receptacle so that the side wall of the plug makes contact with the interior wall of the receptacle. When the plug and the receptacle are coupled, a fitting space is formed therebetween. When compressed air is injected into this fitting space, the plug will be pushed up by a rise in the air pressure and therefore the plug can be pulled out of the receptacle. The use of air pressure in the fitting space to pull out the plug is advantageous because it can be implemented without producing biased stress in the plug or the receptacle.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1999Date of Patent: July 3, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Masahiko Sugiyama, Yasushi Yoshikawa

Patent number: 6221805Abstract: A catalyst support, a catalyst using the catalyst support and a process for producing the same are disclosed. For instance, the catalyst support includes a composite oxide powder produced by spraying and burning a W/O type emulsion, the W/O type emulsion including an aqueous solution dispersed in an organic solvent, the aqueous solution containing aluminum as a major component and at least one co-metallic element in addition to the aluminum. Thus, the catalyst support can be produced less expensively without using any expensive alkoxide. Further, due to the spraying and burning, the composite oxide powder is composed of porous hollow particles which have a very thin shell thickness of dozens of nanometers, and makes the catalyst support which is amorphous and exhibits a large specific surface area. Hence, the catalyst support can maintain the large specific surface area even after a high-temperature durability test.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Koichi Yamashita, Shinji Tsuji, Naoto Miyoshi, Oji Kuno, Masahiko Sugiyama, Kazumasa Takatori, Takao Tani, Nobuo Kamiya

Patent number: 5483795Abstract: An NO.sub.x absorber (18) is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. The NO.sub.x absorber (18) absorbs the NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorber (18) is lean while releases the absorbed NO.sub.x when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NO.sub.x absorber (18) becomes the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or rich. An air-fuel ratio sensor (22) is arranged in the exhaust passage downstream of the NO.sub.x absorber (18). When the air-fuel ratio detected by the air-fuel ratio sensor (22) is switched from lean to rich after the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into NO.sub.x absorber (18) is switched from lean to rich, it is decided that the releasing action of NO.sub.x from the NO.sub.x absorber (18) is completed.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1994Date of Patent: January 16, 1996Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kenji Katoh, Tokuta Inoue, Hidetaka Nohira, Kiyoshi Nakanishi, Satoshi Iguchi, Tetsuro Kihara, Masato Gotoh, Takamitsu Asanuma, Hiroshi Okano, Jun Harada, Shinichi Takeshima, Masahiko Sugiyama, Shigenori Sakurai, Kenji Ohkubo, Mikio Murachi

Patent number: 4748535Abstract: A method of magnetizing a rotor of a motor including the rotor made of an integrated magnet member and a stator is provided. Predetermined magnetic fields are preliminarily applied to the rotor to form magnetic paths and thereafter, the rotor is demagnetized. Then, the rotor is assembled into the stator. The rotor and stator are positioned such that the directions of the magnetic fields which are generated from the stator winding of the stator coincide with the directions of the magnetic paths of the rotor. Subsequently, in the state in which both of the rotor and stator are positioned, a current is supplied to the stator winding and the magnetic fields are generated, thereby magnetizing the rotor by the magnetic fields.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1987Date of Patent: May 31, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Noriaki Arawaka, Kenichi Iizuka, Hideo Uzuhashi, Masahiko Sugiyama, Akihisa Hamaguchi, Takashi Seshita
