  • Publication number: 20240079918
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a rotor unit that may effectively prevent detachment of a magnet with a holder while absorbing dimensional errors of a rotor main body and the magnet. [Solution] In the rotor unit according to the present invention, the holder mountable on the rotor main body prevents the magnet from being detached from the rotor main body. The holder includes an elastically deformable insertion arm extending from a flat-plate like holder main body, a hook portion provided on a free end side of the insertion arm, an elastically deformable magnet pressing arm extending from the holder main body, and a magnet pressing portion provided on a free end side of the magnet pressing arm. The rotor main body includes a hook hole into which the insertion arm is inserted, and the hook hole is provided with a locking portion in which the hook portion is lockable.

  • Patent number: 11056597
    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion element formed of a polar material and including no p-n junction, and first and second electrodes provided on the photoelectric conversion element and arranged at an interval. Space-inversion symmetry of a structure of the photoelectric conversion element is broken. The first and second electrodes are each formed of a metal material that generates no substantial potential barrier preventing majority carriers for the photoelectric conversion element from moving from the electrode to the photoelectric conversion element. Light incidence on the photoelectric conversion element without voltage application between the first and second electrodes causes electromotive force to be generated between first and second electrodes, and enables electric current to be continuously taken out from the first and second electrodes.

  • Patent number: 9919731
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a body frame, an engine, a transmission, an injector, an engine controller, and a transmission controller. The body frame supports three or more wheels. The engine is attached to the body frame. The transmission is attached to the body frame and changes a torque from the engine and outputs a resulting torque. The injector is disposed on or above the engine, and supplies fuel to the engine. The transmission controller is configured or programmed to control a gear position of the transmission. The engine controller and the transmission controller are spaced apart from each other.

  • Patent number: 8142320
    Abstract: A shift control apparatus that disconnects and connects respective pairs of friction engagement elements during downshift to a speed spaced apart by two or more steps through an intermediate shift speed. A shift controller controls a hydraulic pressure of a second shift release element by feedback control, and in accordance with the increase in the torque capacity of the second shift release element, also controls the torque capacity of a first shift engagement element so as to be sufficiently higher than the amount of change in the torque capacity of the second shift release element. The occurrence of adverse consequences in which a shift shock is generated is effectively suppressed because a sufficient reaction force cannot be ensured during engagement switching due to insufficient torque capacity of the first shift engagement element, and since the second shift release element cannot be appropriately feedback-controlled, difficulty in control of rotation change results.
