  • Patent number: 9797464
    Abstract: An urging spring (15) urges a friction pad toward the exit side of the rotational direction of a disk when a vehicle equipped with the disk brake runs forward. The urging spring is disposed between a lug portion (11A) of the friction pad and a torque receiving surface (5) of a carrier (2). The distal end of the urging spring is configured to abut against the disk to perform wear detection. The urging spring includes a mounting portion (15A), a first extending portion (15B), a boundary region (15E), a bent portion (15C), and a second extending portion (15D). The boundary region is reduced in width to lower stiffness. The bent portion is increased in width and provided with reinforcing portions, thereby enhancing the stiffness. Thus, the natural frequencies of the second extending portion in the rotational direction K and the vertical direction J come close to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170276696
    Abstract: An acceleration sensor includes a weight portion having a recess section and a solid section, beam portions, a movable electrode provided on the opposite surface of the weight portion from an open surface of the recess section to extend over the recess section and the solid section, a first fixed electrode arranged at the opposite side of the movable electrode from the recess section, and a second fixed electrode arranged at the opposite side of the movable electrode from the solid section. The acceleration sensor detects acceleration using a change in capacitance between the movable electrode and the fixed electrodes caused by rotation of the weight portion. The beam portions are shifted toward the recess section such that an angle between a perpendicular line extending from a gravity center position of the weight portion to the rotation axis and a surface of the movable electrode becomes equal to 45 degrees.

  • Patent number: 9363411
    Abstract: A data certification system includes a proof information generation unit that generates certification information for certifying non-falsification of raw data, and generates proof information including the certification information and time information representing the time of the generation of the certification information. A server transmission unit transmits the proof information which is received by a client reception unit. A time information acquisition unit acquires the time information representing the time of the generation of the certification information from the proof information. A report generation unit generates report data in which the time information and publishing destination information representing a publishing destination are included in the raw data. A transfer unit transfers the raw data, the proof information, and the report data to a publishing server which releases the report data. An output unit outputs the report data.
