Patent number: 11725553Abstract: An engine includes: an exhaust manifold 7 close to one of left and right side surfaces of an engine; a turbocharger 60 having an exhaust-side inlet connected to the exhaust manifold 7; and a rocker-arm-chamber-integrated intake manifold 8 being disposed on an upper surface of a cylinder head 5 and integrally including a rocker arm chamber 90 and an intake manifold 6. The intake manifold 8 has a wall 101 dividing the rocker arm chamber 90 close to the one of the left and right side surfaces of the engine 1 and the intake manifold 6 close to the other of the left and right side surfaces to isolate the rocker arm chamber 90 and the intake manifold 6 from each other. The rocker arm chamber 90 has, in its upper portion, a positive crankcase ventilation device 69 protruding therefrom and being configured to return blowby gas to an intake system.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoyuki Kimura, Hisato Inokuchi

Patent number: 11410941Abstract: A semiconductor module includes semiconductor elements, a case that houses the semiconductor elements, an external terminal electrically connecting the semiconductor elements and an external conductor, and a nut into which a bolt that secures the external conductor and the external terminal is threaded. The nut includes a cylindrical main body having a threaded hole, and a flange projecting in a direction radially outward of a center axis of the threaded nut hole and being disposed on one face of the main body. The case includes a wall surrounding the nut, the wall having a first recess that houses the main body, a second recess above the first recess and housing the flange, and a notch cut in a portion of the wall surrounding the main body. The first recess extends deeper than the main body, and the fillet is formed on a floor surface of the first recess.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Satoshi Kaneko, Hisato Inokuchi
