  • Patent number: 5928760
    Abstract: An abrasive sheet has an abrasive particle layer formed on a surface of a thin flexible resin film. The abrasive sheet is produced by the steps of preparing a releasable film, forming a thin flexible resin film layer on a release agent applied surface of the releasable film and forming an abrasive particle layer on an upper surface of the resin film layer. Thereafter, the resin film having the abrasive particle layer formed thereon is removed from the releasable film, and the resin film having the abrasive particle layer formed thereon is cut into any suitable size. The abrasive sheet can provide higher polishing power during the polishing operation, but it polishes a surface while tracing or following any orange peel on the surface. Therefore, the abrasive sheet is effective for use as the polishing tool that can replace the fine compound buffing process currently utilized in the automobile repairing industry.

  • Patent number: 4999551
    Abstract: A method for controlling opening/closing of a door in an automatic door system comprises the steps of causing the door to conduct opening operation to its opening-stop limit by an initial opening signal transmitted after the power supply is put to work and the arrival of the door at its closing-stop point is confirmed, and measuring the opening stroke at that time; causing the door to conduct closing operation to its closing-stop point when it is stopped at opening-stop point and no opening signal is inputted, and measuring the closing stroke of the door at that time; computing the difference between the measured opening and closing strokes upon stopping of the door at its closing-stop point; and outputting a signal of abnormal condition if the difference is more than a present value, or causing the door to conduct normal opening/closing operation if it is less than the preset value.

  • Patent number: 4959598
    Abstract: A method for controlling a torque of a door opening and closing motor for an automatic door is improved in that the door opening and closing motor is such motor that a rotary torque therein is generated on the basis of control pulses applied to that motor from a control unit, the rotary torque is regulated by changing a total pulse width of the control pulses rising in one repetition cycle, and thereby an acceleration of the motor can be controlled. In one preferred mode of embodiment of the invention, each of the control pulse has a fixed pulse width, and th total pulse width is changed by varying the number of the control pulse rising in one repetition cycle.

  • Patent number: 4937795
    Abstract: An access alarming method and apparatus for activating an alarm in the event of the access of a working vehicle, such as a road roller, to an object, such as a worker, in the same working area as the vehicle. An ultrasonic wave transmitted by a transmitter on the object is received by a receiver on the vehicle. The received signal is processed and used to determine the relative position of the vehicle with respect to the object. An alarm is activated, and/or the vehicle is braked when it is judged that the object is within a hazard area determined in relation to the position and course of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4918443
    Abstract: For the purpose of knowing an angular position and a rotational speed of a rotary body, according to an encoding pattern on an encoder mounted to and synchronously rotated with the rotary body, rotational angular position signals consisting of n-phase rectangular waves and sensing pulses occurring at a predetermined rotational angle interval are generated. In response to the issue of each sensing pulse, levels of the respective rotational angular position signals are detected, a variation pattern of a combination of the detected n levels is compared with a reference variation pattern, and it is determined whether an abnormal condition has arisen or not, and if the condition is normal, whether the variation pattern is a forward traveling pattern or a backward traveling pattern. In the case of the forward traveling pattern, (+1) is added to a rotational angle counter, while in the case of the backward traveling pattern, (-1) is added to the rotational angle counter.

  • Patent number: 4744747
    Abstract: A controller for a heater has two switch circuits for controlling the supply of electric power to an atomizing glow plug for atomizing fuel and an ignition glow plug for igniting atomized fuel, the glow plugs being connected parallel to each other. One of the switch circuits includes a series-connected resistor for producing a voltage drop thereacross. During an inital period of operation of the heater, the first switch circuit free of the series-connected resistor is turned on to heat the glow plugs quickly up to respective prescribed temperatures for atomizing and igniting the fuel. Upon elapse of a predetermined period of time, during which the prescribed temperatures are reached, the first switch circuit is turned off and the second switch circuit with the series-connected resistor is turned on to keep the glow plugs at the prescribed temperatures without further heating them.
