Publication number: 20140037472Abstract: An electrical pump apparatus is provided in which a situation where a failure detection circuit becomes inoperative before detection of a failure of an electric system can be avoided, and the certainty of failure detection can be enhanced. An attaching portion which is to be attached to a vehicle body is formed so that, in a state where an electrical pump apparatus is attached to the vehicle body, a circuit board of a control device is perpendicular to the horizontal direction. A control IC chip which constitutes a microcomputer for detecting a failure of the electric system is placed on a circuit board so as to be higher in the direction of gravity from a lowest water level Hmin at which flooding in a housing causes the electric system to be short-circuited.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2012Publication date: February 6, 2014Applicant: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Tsutomu Hibi, Fukami Imai

Patent number: 6679209Abstract: A valve timing control apparatus is provided which comprises an intermediate rotary member rotatable relative to a driving rotary member and a driven rotary member and having a spiral guide of a single spiral. Rotation of the intermediate rotary member caused by a control force applying unit causes radial movement of the guided members which is in turn converted to relative rotation between the driving rotary member and the driven rotary member by the links. The spiral of the spiral guide is defined so that a rate of change of spiral radius per angle is not constant.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 20, 2004Assignee: Hitachi Unisia Automotove, Ltd.Inventors: Tsutomu Hibi, Naotaka Nakura

Patent number: 6257182Abstract: An electromagnetic drive system for repeatedly opening and closing a valve of an internal combustion engine is comprised of an electromagnetic drive mechanism and a damper mechanism. The electromagnetic drive mechanism comprises a pair of electromagnets, an armature disposed between the electromagnets and a pair of springs setting the armature at a neutral position between the electromagnets when both the electromagnets are de-energized. The electromagnets are alternately energized and de-energized according to a control signal. The damper mechanism is interlocked with the electromagnetic drive mechanism and functions to decrease a speed of displacement of the valve at a terminating period of each of a valve-closing stroke and a valve-opening stroke of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Unisia CorporationInventors: Seinosuke Hara, Makoto Nakamura, Yoshihiko Yamada, Tsutomu Hibi, Katsuhisa Todoroki, Yoshiaki Miyazato
