  • Publication number: 20160245397
    Abstract: A first-type passage switching valve is provided in an oil supply line connecting a friction element to an N/H type pressure control valve and a second-type passage switching valve is provided in another oil supply line connecting another friction element to an N/L type pressure control valve. A working-pressure output valve outputs a hydraulic working pressure to each of the first-type and the second-type passage switching valves. The first-type passage switching valve changes its communication condition from a first communication state connecting the friction element and the pressure control valve with each other to a second communication state connecting the friction element and a drain side with each other, or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 8253409
    Abstract: In a range detection device, a movable member has a magnetized portion and can move with a manual valve of a control device. A supporting member includes a plate portion having a surface opposed to the magnetized portion and a recess formed in an opposite surface of the plate portion, and supports the movable member such that the movable member is capable of moving parallel with the plate portion. A substrate is placed in the recess and has a first hole that penetrates the substrate. A magnetic detection element is installed to a surface of the substrate at a side of the plate portion to correspond to a position of the first hole, and detects magnetism of the magnetized portion. A sealing member is filled in the recess and covers the substrate and the magnetic detection element.

  • Patent number: 5701982
    Abstract: A lockup control system for an automatic transmission is provided with an electromagnetic valve 11 and a spool valve 13. When the electromagnetic valve 11 is inactive, the spool valve 13 is set so that a pressure at an OFF port 171 of a torque converter 12 is higher than that of an ON port 172, thereby opening a lockup clutch mechanism 19. When the electromagnetic valve 11 is activated, its control pressure Pc becomes lower than a secondary pressure PL2and the spool valve 13 is actuated so that the control pressure Pc is supplied to a clutch control chamber 18. As a result, the lockup clutch mechanism 19 is closed, thereby setting the lockup state. At this time, the control pressure Pc acts directly on the clutch control oil chamber 18, so that the lockup clutch mechanism 19 is controlled with high precision.

  • Patent number: 4847572
    Abstract: In an electronic tuning circuit for AM receiver including a radio-frequency tuning circuit and local oscillator circuit each using a variable capacitance diode, the local oscillator circuit comprises an oscillation coil; a padding capacitor connected in series with the oscillation coil; a first variable capacitance diode connected at one end in series with the oscillation coil; a first and a second fixed capacitor connected at one end in series with each other; and a second variable capacitance diode connected in parallel with the second fixed capacitor. The second fixed capacitor has its other end connected to a connection point between the padding capacitor and the first variable capacitance diode. The first fixed capacitor has its other end connected to the connection point between the oscillation coil and one end of the first variable capacitance diode. A tuning voltage is applied to the first and second variable capacitance diodes, thereby reducing tracking error over the entire receiving frequency band.

  • Patent number: 4837852
    Abstract: An electronic tuning circuit for AM receiver is disclosed which is so designed that tracking errors are minimized by increasing the accuracy of constants for tuning coils, oscillation coils and capacitance elements incorporated in an antenna tuning circuit, a high-frequency amplifier circuit and a local oscillator circuit which constitute the electronic tuning circuit. After the electronic tuning circuit has been mounted in place, tracking adjustment is effected at one point of the receiving frequency band, or alternatively no such adjustment is required.

  • Patent number: 4794650
    Abstract: A receiver equipped with an electronic tuning circuit which uses voltage-variable reactance elements such as variable-capacitance diodes or the like in the radio-frequency tuning circuit and oscillation tuning circuit thereof. The oscillation tuning circuit includes a novel padding capacitor constituted by a composite circuit of a variable-capacitance diode and fixed capacitors connected at the position where a conventional padding capacitor is connected. With such an arrangement, it is possible to make tracking error negligibly small over a frequency band ranging from a low receiving frequency to a high receiving frequency, by applying a tuning voltage to the composite padding capacitor.
