  • Patent number: 7051707
    Abstract: An electronically controlled throttle control apparatus prevents a throttle valve from malfunctioning due to deterioration in sliding resistance ascribable to abrasive dust at a sliding contact portion between a valve gear of a geared reduction device and a coil spring. The outer periphery of a spring inner periphery guide is provided with a plurality of groove portions as abrasive dust removing means for removing abrasive dust at least from a sliding contact portion between the outer periphery of the spring inner periphery guide and the inner periphery of a default spring, so that individual edge portions of the plurality of groove portions can rub the inner periphery of the default spring to scrape off abrasive dust from the inner periphery of the default spring and direct the abrasive dust into the plurality of groove portions.

  • Patent number: 7035850
    Abstract: An access control system and its method that can prevent access to read or write into a file, no matter what user right the access request source uses to attempt an unauthorized access. This invention uses a policy that access to a specific file is authorized only when it is made by a specific user using a specific program. In addition, the policy is registered in a policy file 200 and the access information hooked by a file I/O hook program 106 is transmitted through an inter-OS communication processor 108 to an access control program 110 for a security OS 104 in order to perform access control according to said policy.

  • Patent number: 6962325
    Abstract: In an electronically controlled throttle apparatus, a coil spring is shaped to extend from a U-shaped hook portion which is a joint between a first spring portion having a returning function and a second spring portion having an opening function to the other end of the second spring portion. A coating of a lubricant is provided on a sliding contact area between the inside circumferential surface of the coil spring and the outside circumferential surface of the second spring inside circumferential guide. Thus, the sliding resistance in relative motion between the coil spring and the second spring inside circumferential guide can be significantly reduced.

  • Patent number: 6912994
    Abstract: In a gear case of a throttle body, a valve gear is fixed to one end of a throttle shaft, an intermediate reduction gear is rotatable around an intermediate shaft, a pinion gear is fixed to a motor shaft of a drive motor, and a full close position stopper is provided for defining the full close position of a throttle valve. Those are provided all in alignment with the longitudinal centerline of the gear case. For car models where the throttle body bore inside diameter is identical but the rotation direction of the drive motor differs, only some components in the gear case need be replaced and the other components in the gear case can be used as common components.

  • Publication number: 20040193606
    Abstract: The policy setting support tool according to the present invention simplifies the operation required for setting up policies by providing a policy creation unit 102 and a user interface unit 101. The policy creation unit 102 creates a draft policy from a combination of sample policies prepared for each kind of software, association information providing information on the programs that are likely to access a given object, and an access log showing a history of behavior of a given program. A user interface unit 101 displays the draft policy and allows the user to check and revise it. The support tool also facilitates the maintenance of policies, by providing a differential detection unit 104 for detecting items for suggested change referring to the current object 112 and the subject information database 113, for presenting them to the user as through a user interface unit 101, and for allowing the user to revise the policy in simplified operation.

  • Publication number: 20040170346
    Abstract: In a throttle valve device for an internal combustion engine, a stepped portion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of an inner ring on a bore side (on an air intake passage side) in order to limit movement of a lip portion of a first lip seal on the bore side toward an inside of a rolling bearing. Thus, even if a high supercharging pressure above an atmospheric pressure acts on the first lip seal, deformation and curling of the lip portion due to the supercharging pressure can be prevented. As a result, separation of a second lip seal on a gear cover side (on an outside) from the rolling bearing can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20040031488
    Abstract: A secondary reservoir (16) is filled with a liquid medicine by a fixed amount via a liquid transfer path (18) from a primary reservoir (10) for storing the liquid medicine to be nebulized. When a liquid supply button (40) is slid to left, an operating rod (42) pushes a piston (20) and power supply switch turns on. As piston (20) moves to left, the liquid medicine in secondary reservoir (16) is pushed, thereby moving a valve (22) to left and opening a liquid transfer path (24). Then, a nebulizing part is supplied with the fixed amount of liquid medicine from secondary reservoir (16), and thus performs nebulization. Thus, a liquid nebulizing apparatus is attained, in which a constant amount of liquid is transferred to the nebulizing part to stabilize the nebulization, and in which such a function is realized at low costs.
