  • Patent number: 8847525
    Abstract: To provide a motor control device which can apply an electric brake to a motor when power supply is stopped, and achieve a miniaturization and a cost reduction. A first switch 11 through a sixth switch 16 connects respective coils L1, L2 and L3 included in a motor to an electric power source 20. The capacitor C accumulates the power supplied from the electric power source 20. A seventh switch 17 connects the capacitor C to a fourth switch 14 through the sixth switch 16, when the power supply from the electric power source 20 is stopped. The operation of the seventh switch 17 causes the fourth switch 14 through the sixth switch 16 to operate by the power accumulated in the capacitor C, and respective coils L1 to L3 are short-circuited to apply the brake to the motor.

  • Patent number: 8164008
    Abstract: A cable is sandwiched between a first inner wall surface of a peripheral-wall-side pressing wall portion and a first inner wall surface of a cap-side pressing wall portion, between a second inner wall surface of the peripheral-wall-side pressing wall portion and a second wall surface of the cap-side pressing wall portion, and between a third inner wall surface of the peripheral-wall-side pressing wall portion and a third inner wall surface of the cap-side pressing wall portion to crank the cable to form a cranked portion of the cable. The peripheral-all-side pressing wall portion and the cap-side pressing wall portion sandwich the cranked portion therebetween. Thus, defective soldering may be prevented between a plurality of lead wires and a core-wire soldered portion to which core wires of the lead wires are soldered and connected.

  • Patent number: 7809750
    Abstract: A data management apparatus connected to a data storage apparatus via a network manages the data storage apparatus by transmitting a command of structured document format such as the extensible markup language format and receiving the information related to the executed command as response data of the structured document format. Since the information included in the command is expressed using the structured document format, the data storage apparatus can flexibly interpret the command by ignoring missing and excess information included in the command, and vice versa.
