  • Publication number: 20220238993
    Abstract: A casing has a housing section adapted to house an electronic key. The casing is formed of a material capable of blocking a particular frequency band. A controller is configured to cause an actuator to actuate a movable portion of the electronic key to transmit a signal for controlling a controlled device with the particular frequency band while switching a part of the casing into a state that the signal is allowed to pass, in a case where a transceiver receives a trigger signal from a mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11284253
    Abstract: A car sharing system includes a car share device and a communication control unit. The car share device is configured to perform wireless communication with a mobile terminal that is operable as an electronic key. The communication control unit controls the wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the car share device so that an authentication process through bidirectional communication is executed only when a communication connection establishment process is performed. After the wireless communication has been established, the communication control unit controls the wireless communication so that actuation of an on-board device is permitted in accordance with operation of the mobile terminal through unidirectional communication from the mobile terminal to the car share device.

  • Patent number: 11228600
    Abstract: The car sharing system includes a car share device and an encryption code updating unit. The car share device is configured to perform wireless communicate with a mobile terminal that is operable as a vehicle key. The encryption code updating unit updates a first encryption code, which was used during a previous connection of the mobile terminal and the car share device, to a second encryption code, which differs from the first encryption code, when the mobile terminal and the car share device are reconnected.

  • Patent number: 6854967
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric injecting molder and an injection velocity and injection pressure controlling method for an electric injecting molder, and it is an object of the present invention to make it possible, in injection molding by an electric injection molder, to mold stable resin products having a minimized dispersion in the quality even if the operation environment varies. When an injection screw (23) disposed in an injection cylinder (22) is driven to move in forward and backward directions by an electric motor (29A) to inject resin material (3) in the injection cylinder (22) into a metal mold (1, 2) to fill the metal mold (1, 2), the electric motor (29A) is first velocity-controlled to fill the resin material (3) into the metal mold (1, 2), and, after the filling, the electric motor (29A) is pressure-controlled to replenish the resin material for shrinkage of the resin.

  • Patent number: 6386853
    Abstract: A motor-driven injection driving apparatus for an injection molding machine comprises a fixed frame 4 having an injection cylinder 8, first and second injection drive motors 7, and first and second ball screw shafts 10; first and second power transmission mechanisms 12 for transmitting the rotational forces of the first and second injection drive motors 7 to the first and second ball screw shafts 10, respectively, while reducing the speed; and a movable frame 6 provided with first and second ball screw nuts 11 threaded on the first and second ball screw shafts 10, respectively, and a screw drive motor 14 and capable of being moved in the direction of injection together with an injection screw 9. In the injection process, the movable frame 6 is moved so that a tensile force acts on the first and second ball screw shafts 10.
