  • Patent number: 8025320
    Abstract: A latch is disposed turnably on a side door and becomes in a state of engaging with a striker disposed on a vehicle body. A ratchet engages with the latch by an engaging operation, and releases the engaging state by a disengaging operation. An open lever performs a door opening operation by the opening operation of an operating handle. A lever member is in contact with the latch in the engaging state, and excessively oscillates the latch in the direction of a closing operation, by which the engaging state between the latch and the ratchet is released during the time from the opening operation of the operating handle to the disengaging operation of the ratchet.

  • Patent number: 7735883
    Abstract: A latch mechanism holds a door body in a half-closed state or a fully-closed state with respect to a vehicle body. An open lever connected to an operating handle on the door body releases the half-closed state or the fully-closed state. A release assisting unit triggered by the opening operation of the operating handle assists the release of the half-closed state or the fully-closed state of the door body. A charging device charges a portion of a driving current supplied to a driving source of a lock mechanism between the operating handle and the latch mechanism, and supplies a charged driving current to the release assisting unit.

  • Publication number: 20050064609
    Abstract: A semiconductor processing system includes a processing chamber, a gas exhaust unit, a gas supply unit, a flow rate controller, a flow rate measuring unit for inspecting the flow rate controller, and a control unit for controlling the processing system. The flow rate measuring unit contains an inspection vessel, a pressure gauge, and a flow rate calculation unit, and the control unit is configured to purge the inspection vessel before or after flowing the processing gas into thereto. Further, an inspecting method of the flow rate controller in the semiconductor processing system includes the steps of flowing the processing gas to the inspection vessel, detecting an inner pressure of the inspection vessel, obtaining a gas flow rate of the flow rate controller, and performing a purge process on the inspection vessel.
