Patent number: 12565863Abstract: To provide a torque estimation apparatus for an internal combustion engine which can learn the variation in the output torque of the internal combustion engine caused by the individual difference and the aging change of the internal combustion engine with good accuracy. A torque estimation apparatus for an internal combustion engine calculates a first estimation torque using a torque characteristic data for first estimation torque; calculates a second estimation torque based on an angular acceleration; learns a deviation between the second estimation torque and a preliminarily set reference value of the second estimation torque, as error learning value; and calculates a value obtained by correcting the first estimation torque by the error learning value, as the third estimation torque.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2022Date of Patent: March 3, 2026Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Hiroki Manabe, Kazuhiro Nishiwaki, Taiga Tanaka

Patent number: 12334720Abstract: This resin trough body has an approximately U-shape cross-sectional shape that includes a bottom section and side sections on the two sides. Vertical reinforcement ribs are formed at a prescribed interval on the outer surface of both side sections of a trough body of a prescribed length. Further, near the front and back ends of the trough body, horizontal ribs are formed so as to link two vertical ribs. An accommodation space for accommodating a grating lid is formed by a pair of L-shape members being fixed with bolts to a fixing jig that has been attached to the horizontal ribs. The grating lid is accommodated in said accommodation space, and the grating lid is fixed to a bolt fixing section, which is a mounting hole formed in the horizontal plane of the L-shape members.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2023Date of Patent: June 17, 2025Assignee: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroki Manabe, Takashi Hori

Patent number: 10760616Abstract: A solid lubricant 11 is formed by molding and firing powder that includes amorphous and self-sintering carbon material powder 12, graphite powder 13, and a binder 14. The solid lubricant has high material strength and hardness, and also excellent impact resistance and wear resistance.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Hisanori Aiga, Hiroki Manabe, Takahiro Gotou, Yoshinori Ito, Fuminori Satoji

Patent number: 10056171Abstract: Protrusion portions and recess portions are formed on a metal layer. The protrusion portions are repeatedly formed in a lattice shape at a pitch of P. Similarly, the recess portions are repeatedly formed in the lattice shape at the pitch of P. The protrusion portions and the recess portions are arranged in the same arrangement direction and arranged shifted to each other by half the pitch in the arrangement direction. The protrusion portions and the recess portions are formed independently of each other without contacting each other. In order to allow a multilayer tape to reliably follow the bending deformations of a power cable (submarine cable) in all directions, in an arbitrary cross-section taken in the longitudinal direction of the multilayer tape (in the axial direction of an impermeable layer), the protrusion portions or the recess portions are necessarily arranged at predetermined intervals.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2016Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroki Manabe, Hiroyuki Sakakibara, Masahiro Minamide

Patent number: 9722406Abstract: Ocean floating installations (1) are disposed on the ocean. The ocean floating installations (1) float on the ocean with the lower part of the ocean floating installations (1) being fixed to the seabed by mooring ropes (11). Each of the ocean floating installations (1) is connected at a connection part (5a) to a cable (3), which is a first cable. Each of the cables (3) is connected at a connection part (5b) to a cable (7), which is a second cable. In other words, the ocean floating installations (1) are connected to each other by the cables (3) and the cable (7). A connection is established with the cables (7) at the connection parts (5b) located on the seabed. In other words, the cables (7) are installed on the seabed.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: FURUKAWA ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroki Manabe, Toru Kagoura, Takahiro Sasaki, Yoshihiro Shimada, Takeharu Yamaguchi

Patent number: 9631672Abstract: A separator 8 including a solid lubricant is disposed between adjacent rolling elements 7. Relative movement of the adjacent rolling elements 7 and the separator 8 in a direction of separating apart in a circumferential direction is restricted by restricting members 10, and the restricting members 10 are disposed at plural locations in the circumferential direction. A minute gap ? is provided between the adjacent restricting members 10, to allow relative movement therebetween. This can provide a solid-lubrication rolling bearing capable of stably preventing rotational locking and unintended disassembling of the bearing for a long period.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Hisanori Aiga, Hiroki Manabe, Naoaki Tsuji, Takahiro Gotou, Yoshinori Ito, Fuminori Satoji

Patent number: 8636037Abstract: In a flexible tube for fluid transport, a resin layer is on the outer periphery of an interlocked tube for shielding the fluid flowing within the interlocked tube. An internal-pressure-resistant reinforcing layer is on the outer periphery of the resin layer for reinforcing primarily against internal pressure, etc. of the fluid flowing within the interlocked tube. An axial-force reinforcing layer is on the outer periphery of the internal-pressure-resistant reinforcing layer for primarily suppressing the interlocked tube from deforming in the axial direction of the flexible tube. The axial-force reinforcing layer is formed from alternately winding two layers of reinforcing strips with a long pitch. The reinforcing strips are each configured from a metal strip, a resin layer that covers the strip, and the like. The resin layer is resin to which a microparticulate sulfide-trapping material has been added.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2012Date of Patent: January 28, 2014Assignee: Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenichi Ishii, Hiroki Manabe, Michimasa Watanabe
