  • Patent number: 6652040
    Abstract: A brake fluid pressure generating device includes a first valve element connected to an input shaft, a first force device connected to the first valve element to provide a counter force relative to a force applied to the first valve, a second valve element situated adjacent to the first valve element, a power cylinder unit actuated by the first valve, a second force device situated between a power cylinder unit and the second valve element to move the second valve element, and a third force device connected to the second valve element to provide a counter force relative to a force applied to the second valve. A master cylinder is connected to the power piston to generate a master cylinder pressure to thereby output a regulated control valve output pressure. A desired stroke characteristic of the brake can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20030192509
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an accumulator fuel injection system comprising a pressure increasing unit 7 and a pressure increasing common rail 6, in which leaked fuel is recirculated from a high pressure side to a low pressure side, and which is capable of reducing the amount of fuel that must be delivered under pressure by a low pressure pump 3. The focus of the present invention is to return high pressure leaked fuel to between the low pressure pump 3 and a high pressure pump 5.

  • Publication number: 20030121407
    Abstract: In a negative pressure boosting device 1 of the present invention, a movable valve seat 28 is air-tightly and slidably disposed in a concavity of a valve body 4. The movable valve seat 28 and a valve element 12 compose a vacuum valve 15. The movable valve seat 28 and a control spring 29 compressed and disposed between the movable valve seat 28 and the valve body 4 compose a servo ratio changing means. The servo ratio changing means is provided on a valve mechanism (the vacuum valve 15). During operation, the valve element 12 comes in contact with the movable valve seat 28. However, the movable valve seat 28 does not move in a low-input range so that the servo ratio in this state is relatively large ratio i.e. the servo ratio for the normal operation. In the high-input range, the control spring 29 starts to be compressed to allow the movement of the movable valve seat 28, thereby changing the servo ratio to a small servo ratio.

  • Patent number: 6396379
    Abstract: In a coil device (1) which has a plurality of winding drums (6) on a bobbin (2) with a partition (5) formed between flanges (3), (4) at both ends of the bobbin, the partition (5) has a slit (7) through which a wire (w) is passed, and among winding pitches of the wire wound on adjacent winding drums (6) with the partition (5) therebetween, at least a pitch (P1) between a segment of the wire passing through the slit and its adjacent segment of the wire is larger than a pitch (P2) between the segments of the wire at other portions. The positions of the slit (7) of the partition (5) and a slit (8) of the flange (3) are displaced by a predetermined angle with respect to the center of the winding so to angle the wire passing through both slits with respect to the center of the winding. And, the coil system (1) has a one-side radiused portion (7b) formed at the slit end with which the wire passing through the slit (7) of the partition (5) is slidably contact.

  • Publication number: 20010042800
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnetic fuel injection valve, is capable of lowering fuel consumption and reducing emissions by promoting the mixing of injected fuel with air, and, in addition, is capable of obtaining numerous variations in spray or injection quantity, as the result of reduced emissions by promoting combustion via the atomization of injected fuel. It is a novel electromagnetic fuel injection valve, which has been designed, focusing on devising specifications for injection orifices 14, 15, for example, the attitude or angle of inclination, shape, and number thereof, and is constituted such that jets of fuel injected from injection orifices 14, 15 are made to impinge upon one another, and are injected as a flat-shaped spray 17, being characterized in that the angles of inclination &thgr; of the injection orifices 14, 15 relative to the axis 5C of a needle valve 5 are made to differ from one another.

  • Patent number: 5967764
    Abstract: A fan and electric motor combination (or a fan adapted to be used in such a combination) which provides improved cooling for the motor, using a centrifugal impeller including rotating impeller blades. The impeller blades span between an impeller inlet and an impeller outlet, and they rotate to assist cooling airflow for the motor. Cooling airflow is also assisted by the position of the impeller in that the impeller outlet is positioned upstream of an intersection of the fan blade trailing edge and the hub. Therefore, cooling airflow is assisted by at least some (preferably all) of the pressure drop across the axial fan. If the impeller outlet is positioned still further upstream, e.g., upstream of an intersection of the fan blade leading edge and the hub, then the motor cooling airflow is assisted by all or nearly all of the pressure drop across the axial fan.
