Patents by Inventor Katsuyuki Moritsugi

Katsuyuki Moritsugi has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6849973
    Abstract: A stepping motor has a cylindrical case that houses a motor stator and a sensor stator. The motor stator and the sensor stator are located at the opposing ends of the case. A motor rotor and a sensor rotor are mounted on a shaft and face the motor stator and the sensor stator, respectively. The sensor rotor and the sensor stator together form a rotational position sensor. The incorporation of the rotational position sensor in the case reduces demand for installation space. The gap of approximately 40 to 50 microns between a motor stator core and motor rotor cores is achieved by accurately locating the motor stator and the motor rotor. The case is sealed by the front flange and the rear cover, thereby, unfailingly preventing the invasion of contaminating foreign matter such as dust particles, oil, moisture etc.

  • Publication number: 20040169574
    Abstract: A stator 10 has a pair of pole parts 11 extending inwardly in opposite directions. The pole parts 11 are wrapped with inductance coils 12. A rotor 14 is equipped with a pair of permanent magnets 13 that essentially face toward the pole parts 11. The permanent magnets 13 are magnetized radially, and are shifted angularly from positions in direct radial alignment with the pole parts 11. An excitation current is applied to the coils 12 to cause the rotor 14 to move through a specific angular range by a magnetic field induced in the pole parts 11 and magnetic fields of the permanent magnets 13. The radial misalignment between the pole parts 11 and the permanent magnets 13 improves the performance characteristics of the rotary solenoid.

  • Publication number: 20040069453
    Abstract: This invention is related to an assembled structure of laminate plates for radiating heat therefrom wherein there are formed a plurality of slits between peripheries of the plates around the laminated assembly in such a manner that the plurality of laminated plates, each having a length and a shorter width and notches at the edge on the center line of the direction of. the length, and each being laminated alternatively with an adjacent abutting plate such that the length of one plate is perpendicular to the width of the adjacent plate to form a shape of a cross, with the excess length of one plate overhanging. beyond the width of an adjacent plate, the overhanging portions serving to dissipate heat from the plates.
