Hiroyasu Satou has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10425031
    Abstract: In a motor driver of the present invention, voltage and current values measured by a voltage and current detector and a voltage value measured by a voltage detector are determined as first measurement results, in the state of turning on semiconductor switching elements connected between a positive terminal of a capacitor and motor coils. Voltage and current values measured by the voltage and current detector and a voltage value measured by the voltage detector are determined as second measurement results, in the state of, as to a group A, turning on a semiconductor switching element connected between the positive terminal of the capacitor and the motor coil, and as to a group B, turning on semiconductor switching elements connected between a negative terminal of the capacitor and the motor coil. The insulation resistance values are calculated between the motor coils of each group A or B and a ground.

  • Patent number: 7223077
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a structure for connecting a compressor wheel and a shaft, which structure is not easily broken when rotated at high speed. A male screw is provided on an outer surface of a projection formed on the center of a rear of the compressor wheel, and a male screw is provided on a shaft. The compressor wheel and the shaft are connected with each other by a sleeve having female screws provided at each end thereof. An engagement portion is provided between the compressor wheel and the shaft.

  • Patent number: 6510690
    Abstract: A diesel engine with a supercharger, which hardly has an adverse effect on performance even if a fuel of inferior ignitability is used, is provided. For this purpose, the diesel engine includes a supercharger (1) for supplying pressurized supercharged air into a cylinder (31), and a heat exchanger, which is provided in a supercharged air passage from an outlet port of the supercharger to an inlet port of the cylinder, and the heat exchanger is a hybrid type of heat exchanger (2) including a first heat exchanger (2a) for carrying out heat exchange between the supercharged air from the outlet port of the supercharger and a first heat exchange medium, and a second heat exchanger (2b) for carrying out heat exchange between the supercharged air from an outlet port of the first heat exchanger and a second heat exchange medium having higher temperature than the first heat exchange medium.

  • Patent number: 6038683
    Abstract: A replicated controller and a fault recovery method therefor which can restore a faulty system to a normal state without interrupting operation of an equipment, even in an equipment controller performing processing with short operating periods.In a fault recovery method for a replicated controller, control data is divided into a plurality of blocks on the basis of dependency of the blocks, and a plurality of blocks are transferred in a sequential order of superiority of the dependency from the normally operating system to the faulty system in a period over a plurality of operating periods. BY this, even in an equipment controller performing processing at a short operating period, the system, in which failure is caused, can be restored into normal state without interrupting operation of the equipment.
