Patent number: 8800248Abstract: [Problem] To realize a predetermined “aseptic level of the containers” without introducing a container sterilizing machine and to reduce the burden for adjusting the temperature of the preform. [Means for Solution] A metal mold for molding, wherein a space width (t2) of at least the body portion in the space width for forming a thickness of from the body portion to the bottom portion of the preform is set to lie in a range of 1.18 to 2.11 times as great as a space width (t1) for forming a thickness of an upper end portion of the mouth portion of the preform. At the time of the compression molding, the preform is taken out in the state of a high temperature from a compression-molding machine 31 and is fed to a bottle-producing unit C while maintaining the state of a high temperature. Further, the inner surfaces of a clean box I in which the units are placed and the outer surfaces of the units are sterilized, and the interior of the clean box I maintains a positive-pressure state with the filtered clean air.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Toyo Seikan Kaisha, Ltd.Inventors: Tsuneo Imatani, Takeshi Iwashita, Hiroyuki Hashimoto, Hideto Monzen, Hotaka Fukabori, Hiroyuki Kondou

Patent number: 8084985Abstract: Two current threshold values are adopted, which are larger than the upper limit of current of an operating region. When a rotating speed is smaller than a speed threshold value, the current threshold value is adopted as a criterion to judge whether an input current to an inverter is abnormal, and when the rotating speed Rot is larger than that, the other current threshold value is adopted as the criterion.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Motonobu Ikeda, Satoshi Yagi, Michiya Takezoe, Hiroyuki Kondou, Hirotaka Doi, Hirohito Maeda

Patent number: 7797114Abstract: A front wheel is placed on a lifting table, which is rotated by an actuator together with the front wheel. By rotating the lifting table by the actuator, the front wheel is rotated under constraint of a steering mechanism of an automobile. The rotation angle of an arm with respect to a base is detected by an encoder provided at an end of an extendable rod which pivotally supports the arm in a rotatable manner. The rotation angle of the base is detected by a second encoder to determine the rotation angle ?2??1 and rotation radius Lt of the front wheel under constraint of the steering mechanism. Based on reaction force F detected by a load cell, rotation radius Lt, and rotation angle ?2??1, friction torque Tt is determined.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Ono Sokki Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigefumi Sasaoka, Hiroyuki Kondou, Takehisa Nagano
