Publication number: 20040060541Abstract: The invention is intended to simplify a default mechanism of a throttle valve opening and closing device for the purpose of improving mountability of the device to a vehicle. When a motor generate no driving forces, a throttle valve is held in a position (1) by a return spring. In this position, gaps are formed between the throttle valve and a wall surface of an intake passage. Spherical recesses are formed in parts of the wall surface of the intake passage. In a position (2) where the throttle valve is opposed to the spherical recesses, the gaps are minimized in an operating range of the throttle valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2003Publication date: April 1, 2004Applicant: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Soshino, Takehiko Kowatari, Yuzo Kadomukai, Yuki Ejiri, Kenji Ono, Yasuhiro Kamimura, Norihiro Isozaki, Eisuke Wayama, Hitoshi Andoh, Yutaka Takeuchi

Publication number: 20030106526Abstract: A lightweight, low cost throttle body and throttle valve placed in the body, both formed of resins, that resolve the problem of excessively large gap formation is disclosed. Circumferentially oriented filler contained in a resin forming a throttle valve compensates to make the radial linear expansion coefficient of the throttle valve substantially equal to that of a bore. Grooves are formed on concentric circles in the throttle valve to orient filler circumferentially. A throttle valve provided with circumferentially oriented filler can be formed by impregnating an aggregate formed by circumferentially arranging the filler with a resin and curing the resin. A rib is formed in a part near a throttle shaft to control molding shrinkage so that the roundness of the bore is small.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2002Publication date: June 12, 2003Inventors: Naozumi Hatada, Makoto Iida, Yutaka Takeuchi, Shigeo Tamaki

Patent number: 6339629Abstract: In a system for monitoring power of a nuclear reactor, a plurality of neutron flux measuring devices are arranged in a reactor core of the nuclear reactor for measuring neutron flux so as to generate neutron flux signals on the basis of the measured neutron flux. The neutron flux signals are filtered through a first weighting coefficient and a second weighting coefficient previously held in a monitoring signal calculating unit so as to generate stability monitoring signals. The first weighting coefficient corresponds to a fundamental mode of a neutron flux distribution in the reactor core and tire second weighting coefficient corresponds to a higher mode of the neutron flux distribution therein. The stability monitoring signal filtered through the first and second weighting coefficients are transmitted to a stability monitoring unit the stability monitoring unit monitors the stability of the core according to the transmitted stability monitoring signals.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1998Date of Patent: January 15, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yutaka Takeuchi, Shigeru Kanemoto, Mitsuhiro Enomoto, Shiho Miyamoto

Patent number: 6081051Abstract: A linear/rotary actuator capable of carrying out both linear motion and rotary motion either individually or concurrently as desired while controlling both motions as desired. A rotary driving motor includes a hollow shaft. When the rotary driving motor rotates a third nut fitted on a spline section of the rotary driving motor, an output shaft rotatably fitted on a linear shaft through bearings is rotated. The linear shaft 21 is provided thereon with a threaded section. A spline section and a first nut is threadedly fitted on the threaded section and a second nut kept stationary is fitted on the spline section. The first nut is rotated while being fixed in a hollow shaft of a linear driving motor. Rotation of the linear driving motor leads to rotation of the first nut, resulting in the linear shaft 21 being linearly moved in an axial direction thereof, so that the output shaft may be linearly moved.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1998Date of Patent: June 27, 2000Assignee: Sanyo Denki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Kitazawa, Hiroshi Ooki, Yutaka Takeuchi, Shigeto Murata

Patent number: 5907148Abstract: A scanner for reading an object having a width larger than that of the distal end portion of a scanner main body, has an exit opening for outputting a light beam formed at the distal end portion of the scanner main body. An LED for generating a light beam, and a solid-state image pickup element for receiving the light beam which is reflected by the code, are arranged in the scanner main body. A gap portion for increasing the irradiation width of the light beam to be larger than the width of the distal end portion of the scanner main body is formed at the distal end portion of the scanner main body. Therefore, when a code is read by bringing the scanner main body close to or into contact with the code, the gap portion increases the width of the light beam to be larger than that of the distal end portion of the scanner main body, and therefore, a code having a width larger than the width of the distal end portion of the scanner main body can be read.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1997Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: Casio Computer Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Iwafuchi, Yutaka Takeuchi, Junichi Yoshida, Hiroaki Takatsudo, Masanobu Sugimoto, Hodaka Hyoudou, Eiichi Nara

Patent number: 5824829Abstract: An inhibitor to suppress or inhibit the viscosity increase of a hydrocarbon, e.g. in a bottom section of an oil quench tower, featuring the use of a sulfonic acid and/or its salt as an effective inhibitor composition, which may optionally contain a polymerization inhibitor including one or more inhibitors selected from the group of aromatic amines, phenols and dialkyl hydroxyl amines. Furthermore, the method to inhibit the increasing viscosity of hydrocarbon, e.g. in a bottom section of a tower, may be accomplished by adding the hydrocarbon viscosity inhibitor to the feed oil, reflux oil or directly to the tower bottom oil in the tower. Such an oil quench tower is used for an olefin production process in which the hydrocarbon may include naphtha, light oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas, etc. in the raw material.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 1997Date of Patent: October 20, 1998Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: Noriaki Maeda, Toru Taguchi, Seiji Tanizaki, Nobumitsu Kumazawa, Yutaka Takeuchi
