  • Patent number: 9116015
    Abstract: A display system for a work vehicle is disclosed including a display device (43) having an information display area (49), a display control unit (44) for controlling the display device, and a display switching command device (52A) which outputs a display switching command for switching a display in the display device. The display control unit (44) selects and sets, based on an output from the display switching command device (52A), one or more of an operating time display mode for displaying an operating time of an engine, an instantaneous fuel consumption display mode for displaying an instantaneous fuel consumption, an average fuel consumption display mode for displaying an average fuel consumption, and an amount of used fuel display mode for displaying an amount of used fuel, as a display mode for the information display area (49).

  • Patent number: 8256238
    Abstract: An air conditioning system for a vehicle has a refrigerant cycle device which has an evaporator and a compressor and in which refrigerant is discharged from the compressor to be evaporated in the evaporator so that air passing the evaporator is cooled to be blown into a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The control unit drives the compressor at a control value which is determined based on at least one of a pressure of the refrigerant in the refrigerant cycle device and an outside-air temperature outside the passenger compartment, when the control unit actuates the compressor.

  • Patent number: 7891204
    Abstract: In a refrigeration cycle device with a capacity-variable compressor, a preset suction pressure that serves as a target value of a refrigerant suction pressure of the compressor is calculated and a refrigerant discharge capacity of the compressor is controlled by operating a capacity varying portion such that the suction pressure of the compressor is appreciated to the preset suction pressure. A thermal load detection portion is configured to detect a thermal load of a refrigeration cycle, and a refrigerant flow amount detection portion is configured to detect a flow amount of refrigerant circulating through the refrigeration cycle. In the refrigeration cycle device, a pressure at a predetermined part of the compressor is estimated based on the thermal load detected by the thermal load detection portion and on the flow amount detected by the refrigerant flow amount detection portion.

  • Patent number: 5193267
    Abstract: A magnetostriction type stress detector including a passive member to which an external force is applied, which passive member is formed of a magnetic material; a magnetic shielding member provided around the passive member, which magnetic shielding member is formed with a plurality of slits; and a detection coil provided around the magnetic shielding member for detecting a change in magnetic permeability due to a stress in the passive member to be generated by the external force, through the slits of the magnetic shielding member.

  • Patent number: 5165286
    Abstract: A strain detector in which a pair of magnetic layer patterns (5, 6) made of a magnetically permeable soft magnetic material are attached to a driven shaft (1) and a pair of detection coils (8, 9) are disposed to surround the respective magnetic layers for detecting a change in magnetic permeability of the magnetic layers which is caused when an external force is applied to the driven shaft. A magnetic yoke (15 or 16) is disposed around each of the detection coils (8 or 9) for promoting the passage of the magnetic flux therethrough, thereby decreasing flux leakage. The magnetic yokes (15, 16) each comprises an axially extending tubular member (15a) and radially inward outer and inner flanges (15d, 15e) extending from axially outer and inner ends of the tubular member, respectively. The magnetic yokes each may be made of a compacted core material containing magnetic powder and binder or assembled from a plurality of parts.
