  • Patent number: 9152261
    Abstract: A display input device includes a display portion and a touch panel portion. The display portion displays a screen on which objects are provided. The touch panel portion is provided on the display portion and detects a plurality of touched positions being touched by a user. After a multipoint touching operation of touching a plurality of points on the touch panel portion at the same time, when an operation of moving objects that are movement targets among the objects being displayed is performed on the touch panel portion, if the distance between two points among the plurality of points touched by the multipoint touching operation is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold distance, the display portion collectively moves all the objects that are the movement targets.

  • Patent number: 8528588
    Abstract: A safety valve drive system is operated such that a safety valve of a nuclear power plant is opened by supplying a driving gas by using a pilot valve at an occurrence of an accident or a transient state to thereby protect a reactor against pressure application. The safety valve drive system is provided with a safety valve drive unit, as a function of actuating the safety valve, and cables. The safety valve drive unit actuates in a manner that the safety valve is opened in response to respective auto-depressurization system actuating signals for two or more segments among respective auto-depressurization system actuating signals for four segments, and is closed if an auto-depressurization system actuating signal for one or less segment among the auto-depressurization system actuating signals for the four segments is received. The cables are connected to the safety valve drive unit and used to transfer the auto-depressurization system actuating signals for the four segments.

  • Patent number: 8177669
    Abstract: A pulley structure having a first rotating member that is rotatable around a first axis. A second rotating member is rotatable around the first axis and in at least partial axial coincidence with the first rotating member. A spring containing chamber is defined between the first and second rotating members. A spring, having axially spaced first and second ends defined by coils, extends around the first axis. At least one coil at each of the first and second axially spaced ends of the spring is radially biased relative to the first axis to thereby be frictionally held against each of the first and second rotating members to thereby allow forces generated by relative rotation between the first and second rotating members to be transmitted through the spring.

  • Patent number: 7972231
    Abstract: A pulley assembly having first and second members. The first member is capable of cooperating with a power transmission belt to drive/be driven by the belt. The first member is movable guidingly relative to the second member around a first axis. A coil spring has a length and a circumference and a first portion attached to the first member and a second portion attached to the second member so that a force tending to move the first/second member around the first axis is transmitted through the coil spring to the second/first member. At least one of the first and second members has a groove bounded by a surface into which the respective portion of the coil spring is fit. The respective portion of the coil spring is clamp fit within the groove.

  • Publication number: 20100042301
    Abstract: A working vehicle that uses the output of an internal combustion engine (30) as a working power and a traveling power includes an accelerator pedal (1) that increases a rotation speed of the engine (30) when depressed and a transmission (40) that shifts a rotation of the engine (30) and applies the shifted rotation to the traveling power. A speed ratio control device of the transmission (40) calculates a first target vehicle speed (Wne) according to the rotation speed of the engine (30), calculates a second target vehicle speed (Wu) according to a depression amount of the accelerator pedal (1), and controls the speed ratio of the transmission (40) on the basis of the smaller of these target vehicle speeds. As a result, a vehicle speed according to the depression amount of the traveling accelerator pedal (1) is obtained even when the internal combustion engine (30) rotates at high speed.
