  • Patent number: 8548701
    Abstract: A transmission controller determines whether an oil temperature in the CVT is higher than a high oil temperature control starting temperature or not. If it is determined that the oil temperature is higher than the high oil temperature control starting temperature, a first oil temperature lowering processing which limits an input rotation speed of the CVT by changing a speed ratio of the CVT smaller is executed. If the input rotation speed of the CVT reaches a predetermined lower limit rotation speed during execution of the first oil temperature lowering processing, the first oil temperature lowering processing is ended and a second oil temperature lowering processing that limits a torque of an engine is executed.

  • Patent number: 8434702
    Abstract: An electrostatic coating system includes a coating robot (1) and an electrostatic atomizer (6) attached to a polyarticular wrist portion (5) of the robot (1). The atomizer (6) includes an end plate (45), metallic connector (50) fixed to the end plate (45) in electric conduction, high voltage generator (20) and bell head (18). Electric power is supplied to the high voltage generator (20) through the connector (50). Wires (53) are connected to the connector (50) to take out high voltage leak caused by contamination like a deposition of paint on outer surfaces of the atomizer (6) through the wires 53 to control the high voltage generator (20) to lower the value of the high voltage applied to the bell head (18) of high voltage leak detected through the wires (53) is larger than a predetermined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20070064233
    Abstract: A method of adjusting optical imaging system is provided to finely adjust arrangement of optical elements with sensitivity. Illumination light with a predetermined wavelength band is irradiated to an adjustment mark including first marks disposed at a first pitch and second marks disposed at a second pitch different from the first pitch. An image is captured according to light, of diffracted light emitted from the adjustment mark, passing through an aperture stop and reaching an image surface of the optical imaging system. A positional deviation between the first and second marks is calculated with symmetric/asymmetric property of luminance information. Based on respective positional deviations calculated while the wavelength band of illumination light is changed, arrangement of optical elements between a pupil plane and an aperture stop surface of the optical imaging system is finely adjusted, to correct imaging positional deviation of a pupil image on the aperture stop surface.
