  • Patent number: 8341117
    Abstract: Provided herein are data management systems and methods for storing, cataloging, and protecting data on a computer using software and a portable data storage device. The technology can back up, manage, and protect data for any operating or file system by checking files for block-level or byte-level changes and storing only new data. By storing only new data and cataloging information within a comprehensive backup archive composed of these blocks, the size of each backup is minimized.

  • Publication number: 20120301341
    Abstract: A compressor includes a valve plate, a suction reed valve, and a seat surface. The valve plate has a suction port that communicates with a compression chamber and a suction chamber. The suction reed valve can open and close the suction port. The seat surface is formed on the valve plate, and is abutted with the suction reed valve when the suction reed valve closes the suction port. The seat surface includes a flat seal surface surrounding the suction port, and a groove surrounding the seal surface. The valve portion of the suction reed valve includes a flat sealing surface which is brought into close contact with the seal surface to close the suction port. The seat surface has a plurality of protrusions which space the seal surface from the sealing surface when the pressures of the compression chamber and the suction chamber are identical.

  • Publication number: 20120290195
    Abstract: A control system for an internal combustion engine having a throttle valve disposed in an intake passage of the engine is provided. A wide-open intake air amount, which is an intake air amount corresponding to a state where the throttle valve is fully opened, is calculated according to the engine rotational speed, and a theoretical intake air amount, which is an intake air amount corresponding to a state where no exhaust gas of the engine is recirculated to a combustion chamber of the engine, is calculated according to the wide-open intake air amount and the intake pressure. An actual intake air amount of the engine is detected or estimated, and an exhaust gas recirculation ratio is calculated using the theoretical intake air amount and the actual intake air amount. The engine is controlled using the calculated exhaust gas recirculation ratio.

  • Patent number: 8292596
    Abstract: A variable displacement type compressor in which a discharge-pressure region, a suction-pressure region and a pressure control chamber are defined, has a tiltable swash plate and a piston reciprocated by the swash plate in the pressure control chamber. The inclination angle of the swash plate and the piston stroke are changed by adjustment of pressure in the pressure control chamber thereby to control the displacement of the compressor. The compressor further comprises a supply passage for supplying refrigerant gas from the discharge-pressure region to the pressure control chamber, a release passage for releasing the refrigerant gas from the pressure control chamber to the suction-pressure region, a first control valve for adjusting a cross-sectional area of the supply passage from the discharge-pressure region to the pressure control chamber and a second control valve for adjusting cross-sectional area of the release passage.

  • Patent number: 8286459
    Abstract: In a method for producing a two-piece can, a circular disk of a laminated steel sheet having a thermoplastic resin coating layer is subjected to multistage forming to produce a final formed body having a height h, a maximum radius r, and a minimum radius d (the case where r is equal to d is also included). Forming is performed so that the height h, maximum radius r, and minimum radius d of the final formed body satisfy the relationships 0.1?d/R?0.25 and 1.5?h/(R?r)?4 with respect to a radius R of a circular disk before forming whose weight is equal to that the final formed body. At an intermediate stage of forming, a formed body is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of not less than a melting point of a thermoplastic resin but not more than a temperature 30° C. higher than the melting point.
