  • Patent number: 8029267
    Abstract: An ejector apparatus moves a lift core extending through a core of a component of a resin molding mold to form an undercut portion in a molded piece and is installed so as to be capable of moving obliquely with respect to the core surface in a longitudinal direction. An ejector plate is arranged between the core and a base plate below the core, so as to be capable of moving up and down. A slide path is formed in the ejector plate extending in a direction in which a lower end of the lift core makes relative horizontal movement during ascent and descent of the lift core. A slide base is movably arranged in the slide path and coupled to the lower end of the lift core. A guide rod imparts a moving force within the slide path to the lower end of the lift core during ascent and descent of the ejector plate.

  • Publication number: 20110069941
    Abstract: A recording apparatus performs bit rate conversion on an input stream and records the input stream with additional data such as captions and a weather forecast left therein into a recording medium in consideration of the remaining capacity thereof. A recording apparatus (10) performs bit rate conversion on an input stream including video data, voice data and additional data and records the converted input stream. The recording apparatus (10) comprises a control portion (15) which calculates a target total bit rate which is a target of the input stream on the basis of the recording time of the input stream and the remaining capacity of the recording medium and sets a target bit rate of the video data with respect to the calculated target total bit rate and a transcoder (13) which measures an actual total bit rate of the input stream after starting the bit rate conversion on the basis of the target bit rate of the video data.

  • Patent number: 7515398
    Abstract: In a one-and-a-half circuit breaker system gas-insulated switchgear assembly for three-phase AC transmission, the circuit breakers are located on a common horizontal floor directed in Y direction. First main bus bars extending in X direction are located above the first circuit breakers. The positions of the first main bus bars in different phases are different from one another only in height. Similarly, the second main bus bars extending in X direction are located above the third circuit breakers. Each phase of the main bus bars and disconnecting switches is located in a common horizontal plane. The heights are different for different phases. Relative locations of the disconnecting switches are substantially common for every phase horizontally, but are shifted in the X direction.

  • Patent number: 7443130
    Abstract: In a motor driving control device, a high-frequency alternating voltage or rotation voltage (having a frequency of ?h) is applied to a motor so that magnetic saturation occurs in the motor, thereby extracting, from a ?-axis current, a high-frequency second-harmonic component (a frequency component of 2×?h) that is obtained by attenuating at least a direct-current component of the ?-axis current. The polarity checker detects the polarity of the magnetic pole of the rotor based on the difference, caused by magnetic saturation, between the positive and negative amplitudes of the high-frequency second-harmonic component.
