Patent number: 9389248Abstract: In one embodiment, a Sagnac interferometer-type fiber-optic sensor includes a synchronous detection circuit to carry out synchronous detection of detected light signal with a phase modulation angular frequency of a phase modulator. A signal processing circuit calculates and outputs the magnitude of current to be measured using the signal detected in the synchronous detection circuit. A phase modulator driving circuit controls the driving of the phase modulator. The phase modulator driving circuit controls a phase modulation depth of the phase modulator so that the amplitude of the second-order harmonics and the fourth-order harmonics obtained by carrying out the synchronous detection of the detected light signal with the phase modulation angular frequency becomes the same.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Kinichi Sasaki, Masao Takahashi, Yukihisa Hirata

Patent number: 8376620Abstract: A sliding bearing is constructed by an upper split bearing half and a lower split bearing half. The upper split bearing half has a sliding surface, in which an oil groove which allows a lubricating oil to flow therein is formed over the entire circumferential extent of the sliding surfaced. The oil groove extends through a crush relief to be open to a junction area, and the oil groove has a bottom which is formed so that a portion disposed toward the junction area as considered in the circumferential direction of the crush relief is located closer to the center of the upper split bearing half in comparison to a central portion. An ingress in large quantities of foreign particles within the oil groove onto the sliding surface of the sliding bearing and into a connecting rod bearing after passing through a lubricating oil feed passage is suppressed, and an oil leakage through the crush relief is reduced, allowing a lubricating oil pressure to be secured and augmented.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2004Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignees: Taiho Kogyo Co., Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masao Yamazaki, Masao Takahashi, Yasuhiro Hikita, Junichi Natsume, Toshimitsu Shiba, Takashi Kikuchi, Tatsuhiro Terada, Takashi Shimura
