Patent number: 11911820Abstract: A gap control part controls a clamping device so that mating surfaces in a die face each other across a gap, and thereby a cavity and an external part of the die communicate across the gap. A molten metal feed control part controls a molten metal feed device so as to feed molten metal into a sleeve when the gap is being maintained. An injection control part controls an injection device so as to start a forward movement of a plunger at a time when the gap is maintained and there is the molten metal in the sleeve. A clamping control part controls a clamping device so as to make the mating surfaces abut against each other to eliminate the gap after the forward movement of the plunger is started and before the molten metal reaches a molten metal surface height at which the molten metal flows into the gap.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: SHIBAURA MACHINE CO., LTD.Inventors: Shugo Matsuzawa, Masaki Fujimoto, Satoru Aida, Toshiaki Toyoshima, Yuichi Maki

Patent number: 8694189Abstract: Provided is an electrically driven vehicle, wherein unexpected vibration or shock is prevented during interruption of torque transmission. An electric vehicle having an electric motor as its power source is provided with an F/F calculation or operation unit, an F/B calculation or operation unit, an adder, model determination units, and target torque value switching units. The F/F calculation unit calculates a first target torque value by F/F operation. The F/B calculation unit calculates a second target torque value by F/B operation using a model. The adder adds the first target torque value and the second target torque value, to obtain a motor torque command value. The model determination units evaluate whether or not an interruption in the torque transmission to drive shafts occurs. The target torque value switching units stop the F/F- and F/B operations while torque transmission interruption is confirmed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun Motosugi, Satoru Fujimoto, Hiroyuki Ashizawa

Patent number: 4455129Abstract: A multi-vane type compressor formed with vane back pressure spaces having introduced thereinto a suction gas pressure in the suction and compression strokes and a discharge gas pressure in the discharge stroke. The compressor includes supply grooves for introducing the discharge gas pressure into the vane back pressure spaces, which are each split into a trailing side portion and a leading side portion. Each leading side portion for coping with the terminating stage of the discharge stroke is exposed to the discharge gas pressure via a passageway offering large resistance to the flow of fluid, to throttle the gas forced out of the vane back pressure spaces as the vanes are forced into vane grooves to thereby raise the vane back pressure. This is conducive to prevention of the jumping action of the vanes, and wear of the tips of the vanes and to minimization of vibration and noise.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1981Date of Patent: June 19, 1984Assignee: Daikin Kogyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Katsumi Sakitani, Takashi Maekawa, Satoru Fujimoto, Tetsuro Tajima, Makoto Hiroyasu
