Patent number: 9506138Abstract: The second compression ring is formed such that the outer peripheral surface shape has a tapered face, and the radial cross-sectional shape is a rectangular ring, a scraper ring, or a Napier ring, and has a piston ring base and a hard film provided at least on an outer peripheral sliding surface thereof. The piston ring base is composed of a low-alloy steel or carbon steel having a Vickers hardness of Hv 350 Hv 550. The outer peripheral sliding surface is formed so that the axial length is from 0.01 to 0.30 mm between the outer edge end part of the tapered outer peripheral sliding surface and an imaginary line contacting with a lower end surface where a curved surface having a diameter that decreases gradually inward from the outer edge end part toward the lower end in the axial direction is parallel to a ring underside.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Nippon Piston Ring Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Sugiura, Atsushi Chiba, Makoto Kajiwara, Kazuhiro Fujimura, Katsuaki Ogawa, Kazuhiro Sameshima

Patent number: 5061861Abstract: An MOS integrated circuit for driving light-emitting diodes (LED's) comprises first constant current circuits, each of which is for one of the LED's and includes a first drive circuit for maintaining the drive current for the associated LED at a predetermined value established by a first reference voltage. The integrated circuit further includes a second constant current circuit which is connected to all of the first constant current circuits to form a mirror circuit with each of said first constant current circuits. A current detecting element detects a predetermined magnitude of current flowing therethrough and develops a current-representative detection voltage. A second drive circuit within the second constant current circuit responds to the detection voltage and a second reference voltage by maintaining said first reference voltage at a predetermined value so that the LED drive current is determined by the said detection voltage and second reference voltage.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1989Date of Patent: October 29, 1991Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazuhiro Sameshima, Masaru Ohnishi
