  • Patent number: 10417016
    Abstract: When a verification result by a verifier is a success, an electronic control unit activates a rewriting target program stored in a second storage, and transmits a verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a success to a relay apparatus. When a verification result by the verifier is a failure, the electronic control unit activates a communication control program stored in a first storage, and transmits a verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a failure to the relay apparatus. Upon receiving the verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a success, the relay apparatus identifies a correct rewriting operation with the rewriting target program. In contrast, upon receiving the verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a failure, the relay apparatus identifies an incorrect rewriting operation with the rewriting target program.

  • Patent number: 9528553
    Abstract: An oil passage obstruction wall member (W) is configured to obstruct an oil passage having plural pathways configured to communicate plural oil supply openings (6) at plural locations on an outer circumference of an end cap (1) included in a linear guide device arranged such that a bottom face of a guide rail is arranged on a face slanted at an angle ranging from 0 degrees to 180 degrees with respect to a plane face, with a direction change passage (4) configured to communicate a rolling element rolling passage formed between the guide rail and the slider body with a rolling element return passage included in the slider body. The oil passage obstruction wall member (W) is selectively opened depending on the angle of the face on which the bottom face of the guide rail is arranged to selectively communicate the direction change passage (4) and the oil supply openings (6).

  • Patent number: 8961016
    Abstract: A linear guide apparatus is provided in which an excellent sealing performance is achieved. The linear guide apparatus includes a retainer for retaining plural cylindrical rollers rotatably in a rolling element rolling passage. The retainer includes an opening portion and accommodates for retention of the plural cylindrical rollers in the opening portion. The retainer also includes an endless seal unit surrounding the opening portion. The seal unit includes an inward facing lip inclining toward the inner side of the opening portion and extending toward the guide rail to be in sliding contact with the guide rail. The inward facing lip is formed continuously all around the seal unit. The seal unit includes an outward facing lip inclining toward the outer side of the opening portion and extending toward the guide rail to be in sliding contact with the guide rail, in addition to the inward facing lip.

  • Patent number: 8814431
    Abstract: A side seal attached to each of both ends of a slider of a linear guide in a sliding direction and sliding in contact with a guide rail includes: a seal main body formed by shaping an elastic material using a mold and sliding in contact with the guide rail; and a holder for housing and holding the seal main body. A gate burr housing for an elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body is formed in a seal main body holder housing. This eliminates the need of complete cutting or elimination of the elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body, and improves assembling performance. The gate burr housing is formed at a front or rear side of the seal main body housing of the holder, and the elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body is formed at a corresponding portion to the gate burr housing.
