Patent number: 9738963Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a ferritic stainless steel product, a ferritic stainless steel object is heated in an inert gas atmosphere including nitrogen gas in a heating furnace at a nitriding temperature higher than or equal to a transformation temperature so as to form a nitrided layer on a surface of the ferritic stainless steel object. Moreover, the nitriding temperature is set lower than 1100° C. during the heating. The heating of the ferritic stainless steel object is performed in a state where a solid carbon exists inside the heating furnace.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2014Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Teppei Watanabe, Atsushi Iwase

Patent number: 6987437Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator has a movable core, a housing that holds the movable core so that the core may freely reciprocate, and an attractive part that applies a magnetic force to pull the movable core in one of the reciprocating directions. The electromagnetic actuator further has a stator that constitutes a magnetic circuit along with the movable core. At least one of the sliding faces of the housing and the movable core in contact with each other is subjected to gas soft nitriding, salt-bath soft nitriding, sulfo-nitriding, or nitriding treatment. The surface roughness of such a nitrided face is controlled to be within a prescribed range, so that the wear of the sliding faces of the movable core and the housing can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: January 17, 2006Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Noboru Matsusaka, Hiroyuki Nakane, Atsushi Iwase

Patent number: 6582111Abstract: A vehicle lamp structure that enables reliable engagement even when variations occur during molding is described. In a vehicle lamp, an attachment base body 2 may be coupled to a lens 6 covering a front surface thereof by engagement of at least a part. The lens is provided with an engagement leg portion 9 which is inserted into the body so as to be engaged with an engagement portion 10 of the body. First and second engagement protruding portions 11, 12 are formed, with a space therebetween that face the engagement portion of the body. A front surface 11a of the first engagement protruding portion is a slanted surface that is increasingly displaced to a side opposite the insertion direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: June 24, 2003Assignee: Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventor: Atsushi Iwase

Patent number: 5542293Abstract: A pressure detecting apparatus for detecting vehicle tire air pressure. In a cylindrical housing mounted axially in parallel with a tire wheel, a setting magnet, a rotor magnet and a reversing magnet are coaxially provided and the rotor magnet is supported by a shaft rotatably and axially movably in response to a tire air pressure introduced to a bellows in the housing. When the air pressure is normal, the rotor magnet is attracted by the setting magnet. When the air pressure is reduced, the rotor magnet is separated by the movement of bellows, rotated by the repulsion force of the reversing magnet and finally attracted to said reversing magnet. By this operation, position of the magnetic poles of the rotor magnet is reversed and this reversion is detected electrically by a magnetism detecting unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 1994Date of Patent: August 6, 1996Assignee: Nippondenso Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Tsuda, Atsushi Iwase, Ken Nomura, Kazuma Matsui
