Patent number: 10316787Abstract: Provided is a fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine. When fuel pressure in a high-pressure fuel pipe changes as a result of the driving of a high-pressure pump, the changing fuel pressure propagates as pulsation into a low-pressure fuel pipe. A degree of influence of propagation of pulsation decreases as fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe increases. When the high-pressure pump is in an operating state where the degree of influence of the pulsation of the fuel pressure propagating from the high-pressure fuel pipe on the fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe is high, boost control for driving a feed pump to raise the fuel pressure in the low-pressure fuel pipe is executed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2015Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koji Aso, Hideaki Hayashi

Patent number: 10232803Abstract: Groove formation portions that define insertion grooves are located in two opposing inner sides of an opening of a main cover. Engagement shafts are located on side portions of the sub-cover that oppose the inner sides. The engagement shafts are insertable into the insertion grooves from an outside and have a thickness that is larger than a groove width of the insertion grooves. The groove formation portions are elastic and deformable to allow insertion of the engagement shafts when the engagement shafts are inserted from the outside. The groove formation portions elastically return to their original forms after insertion of the engagement shafts to engage the engagement shafts and restrict separation of the engagement shafts in a reverse direction. The groove formation portions support the sub-cover to allow the sub-cover to open while engaged with the engagement shafts.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignees: Toyota Shatai Kabushiki Kaisha, Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroaki Ichihara, Nobuyoshi Imaeda, Shuuichi Satou, Masaaki Uechi, Hideaki Hayashi, Atsutoshi Sakaguchi

Patent number: 9575545Abstract: The controller LSI is connected to an SPI flash memory having a deep power down mode (DPM), and brings the SPI flash memory to the DPM and then brings itself to low power consumption mode (LPM) that volatilizes data in a RAM. This invention solves the problem that the controller LSI cannot release the peripheral device from the DPM upon returning from the LPM due to the volatilization of the data. The controller LSI includes a CPU, the RAM, and an SPI control unit transmitting an SPI command to the flash memory. The SPI command includes a power down command to bring the flash memory into DPM and a release command to release it from the DPM. Upon returning from the LPM, the controller LSI causes the control unit to transmit a release command to the flash memory irrespective of whether it is in DPM or normal mode.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: RENESAS ELECTRONICS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshio Sato, Hideaki Hayashi, Takashi Yoshida
