  • Patent number: 11460106
    Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes an electric oil pump disposed in an oil passage between primary and secondary pulley oil chambers. An oil passage switching valve is disposed between the oil pump and the primary pulley oil chamber. The oil passage switching valve switches between a first switching position in which the primary pulley oil chamber and the oil pump are connected, and a second switching position in which the primary pulley oil chamber and the oil pump are disconnected and in which the oil pump and an oil passage connecting an oil reservoir and the oil passage switching valve are connected. In addition, the continuously variable transmission includes a discharge mechanism having a leak valve disposed in the oil passage between the electric oil pump and the oil passage switching valve for discharging oil that is discharged from the oil pump towards the primary pulley oil chamber.

  • Patent number: 9531139
    Abstract: A connector includes a metal terminal part on which conductive wires exposed outside at an end of an electric cable are pressure-contacted; and a housing for accommodating a pressure-contact part A of the end of the electric cable and the metal terminal part. The housing 10 has an electric cable insertion hole, a wall of which is contactable with an outer circumferential surface of an insulating cover of the electric cable. The housing also has a filling space in communication with the electric cable insertion hole. The filling space is located in positional correspondence with the pressure-contact part A; and the filling space is filled with a filler such that the filler covers the pressure-contact part A.

  • Publication number: 20150126055
    Abstract: A connector includes a metal terminal part on which conductive wires exposed outside at an end of an electric cable are pressure-contacted; a housing for accommodating the end of the electric cable and the metal terminal part; and a tube-like metal cover for covering the housing and fixing the housing to an electric device M. The housing has an electric cable insertion hole through which the electric cable is insertable. The housing includes an engageable claw as position restriction means for restricting relative positions of the housing and the metal cover. The engageable claw is restricted, by the electric cable inserted into the electric cable insertion hole, from being displaced.

  • Patent number: 7503303
    Abstract: A variable air intake control system includes first and second variable intake control valves, a vacuum tank, actuators, a one-way valve and a controller. The controller selectively is configured to control the first and second actuators to offset operating timings of the first and second variable intake control valves so as to suppress the noise in the one-way valve, when the first and second variable intake control valves are switched from a first operating state in which the first and second variable intake control valves are both in one of the open and closed states to a second operating state in which the first and second variable intake control valves are both in one of the open and closed states that is opposite to the first operating state.
