  • Patent number: 10393143
    Abstract: A compressor includes an impeller having a rotational axis. An annular diffuser is provided around the rotational axis to surround the impeller in order to decelerate the fluid discharged from the impeller in a centrifugal direction with respect to the rotational axis. The annular diffuser includes first vanes and second vanes. The first vanes are arranged in a first blade row extending in a circumferential direction around the rotational axis such that two adjacent vanes among the first vanes do not define a throat therebetween viewed along the rotational axis. The second vanes are arranged in a second blade row which extends in the circumferential direction and which is provided farther than the first blade row in the centrifugal direction from the rotational axis. A number of the second vanes is two times or more as large as a number of first vanes.

  • Patent number: 10391888
    Abstract: A seat moves along a rail in the front-back direction of a vehicle. A juxtaposed member (receiving member) extending in the front-back direction of the vehicle is joined to a floor or the seat so as to be located next to the rail. A detected portion is provided either to the juxtaposed member or to a member which is located on the floor side or the seat side which moves relative to the floor or the seat to which the juxtaposed member is coupled. A sensor that detects the detected portion is provided either to the juxtaposed member or to the member located on the floor side or the seat side. As a result of this configuration, the installation position of the sensor is less spatially restricted than the case in which the sensor is provided to the rail.

  • Patent number: 10393140
    Abstract: The fluid pump according to the present invention has water storage means that is formed so as to communicate with a shaft hole in a pump case and stores fluid leaking from a mechanical seal. An electromagnetic clutch establishes or blocks the transmission of power to a drive shaft by switching between supply and non-supply of electricity to an excitation coil. The water storage means has a weep chamber that communicates with the shaft hole between the mechanical seal and a bearing and is opened to an end portion in the axial direction. An attachment member for attaching a core of the electromagnetic clutch to the pump case seals the opening of the weep chamber.

  • Patent number: 10395165
    Abstract: N processing units (PU) each have an arithmetic unit (AU) that performs an operation on first, second and third inputs to generate a result to store in an accumulator having an output provided to the first input. A weight input is received by the AU second input. A multiplexed register has first, second, third and fourth data inputs and an output received by the third AU input. A first memory provides N weight words to the N weight inputs. A second memory provides N data words to the multiplexed register first data inputs. The multiplexed register output is also received by the second, third, and fourth data input of the multiplexed register one, 2{circumflex over (?)}J, and 2{circumflex over (?)}K PUs away, respectively. The N multiplexed registers collectively operate as an N-word rotater that rotates by one, 2{circumflex over (?)}J, or 2{circumflex over (?)}K words when the control input specifies the second, third, or fourth data input, respectively.

  • Patent number: 10397190
    Abstract: A system and method for obfuscating an optical signal is disclosed. Obfuscating the optical signal may make it more difficult for the optical signal to be detected by an interloper. In one embodiment, an optical signal is received at an optical transmitter, and an obfuscated optical signal is generated by performing a modification of the received optical signal. The obfuscated optical signal is then transmitted from the optical transmitter to an optical receiver. An at least partially deobfuscated optical signal is generated at the optical receiver by performing a modification of the obfuscated optical signal. The modification performed at the optical receiver corresponds to the modification performed at the optical transmitter.

  • Patent number: 10396376
    Abstract: A fuel cell vehicle control method changes an output current of a fuel cell depending on a required generated power and adjusts an air supply flow rate depending on the change of the output current. The output current is reduced in response to a decrease of the required generated power when a gearshift operation of a transmission is under an inertia phase of an upshift operation. The air supply flow rate is controlled to an inertia phase supply flow rate higher than the air supply flow rate set in response to the decrease of the output current.
