  • Publication number: 20110103092
    Abstract: A light source receiver 31 is disposed adjacent to an incident end face 11 of a light guiding plate 1 using the light source holder 31 for receiving the LED unit 4 and a light source holder 3 formed in an L-shape in a cross section having a standing plate 34 at one end of the light source holder 31, the standing plate 34 is disposed outside of a reflective plate 2 laminated on the light guiding plate 1, and a bolt 81 via a long hole 35 of the standing plate 34 is screwed into an insert-nut 8 of the light guiding plate 1 via a clearance hole 21 of the reflective plate 2, thereby the standing plate 34 follows the heat expansion or contraction of the light guiding plate 1 except the reflective plate 2. A relative position between the incident end face 11 of the light guiding plate 1 and the light source receiver 31 of the light source holder 3 is always constant, and the LED unit 4 is prevented from being damaged.

  • Patent number: 7759888
    Abstract: There is provided an AC motor controller capable of detecting an abnormal state of a motor cable while an AC motor is operating without using a special circuit but using a processor. The AC motor controller includes an AC motor; an inverter for driving the AC motor with a motor current through a motor cable; and a motor current detector for detecting the motor current flowing in the motor cable of the AC motor, in which a processor detects an abnormal state of the motor cable such as an inter-phase short circuit and an open circuit based on the motor current detected by the motor current detector.

  • Patent number: 7597957
    Abstract: [Object] In a fishing line for capturing large fishes made by a polyvinylidenefluoride resin filament, a polyvinylidenefluoride resin filament wherein even by enhancing the tensile strength at break by enlarging the filament diameter than that of usual fishing line, an appropriate tensile elongation at break can be obtained, so that the rapid and enormous impact generated when large fishes have taken the bait can be reduced, and that has a homogenous fiber structure which generates almost no inner cavity when forming a filament with a large diameter, is developed.

  • Publication number: 20090133947
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a motor control apparatus that can perform an abnormality diagnosis of current sensors and achieve cost reduction. When the outputs from three current sensors, which detect individual phase currents of a 3-phase AC current supplied from an inverter to a 3-phase AC motor, indicate that the sum of the individual phase currents of the 3-phase AC current is greater than a predetermined value, a sensor abnormality judgment unit of a motor control unit judges that one of the three current sensors is abnormal. The sensor abnormality judgment unit identifies an abnormal current sensor, which is one of the three current sensors, and performs calculations in accordance with the remaining two normal current sensors to output the current in the phase detected by the abnormal current sensor.

  • Publication number: 20080155791
    Abstract: To provide a knotless cord that is capable of exerting sufficient tensile strength of a fibrous body. A knotless cord has a sleeve and a fibrous body inserted into the sleeve, wherein the sleeve and the fibrous body are connected to each other by applying tension in a longitudinal direction of the sleeve and then tightening the sleeve. Moreover, in the knotless cord a locking portion for preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve is provided in at least two sections (first locking portion, second locking portion). Therefore, stress generated by applying tension is dispersed throughout the entire fibrous body, while preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve, whereby stress concentration occurring in each locking portion is alleviated.
