  • Patent number: 11935712
    Abstract: A control system is designed to control an interrupter. The interrupter is started by a startup current to interrupt a main electric circuit. The startup current flows through an auxiliary electric circuit and has a current valve equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The control system includes a driving unit and a driven unit. The driving unit includes an intermediate electrical path to be connected to the main electric circuit. The driven unit is to be connected to the auxiliary electric circuit. When an abnormal current having a current value equal to or greater than a prescribed value flows through the intermediate electrical path, the driving unit uses, as a drive source for driving the driven unit, the abnormal current flowing through the intermediate electrical path. The driven unit supplies the auxiliary electric circuit with the startup current by being driven by the driving unit.

  • Patent number: 9004569
    Abstract: A pocket member includes a flat-shaped first floor portion located forward and extending substantially horizontally and a flat-shaped second floor portion located in back of the first floor portion and rising obliquely rearward from the first floor portion. A trim recess portion recessed outward in a vehicle width direction is formed at a portion which is located above a trim opening portion and between a door armrest portion and a speaker storage portion which respectively protrude toward a vehicle-compartment side. The trim recess portion is configured to extend obliquely forward and upward from the trim opening portion along the direction substantially perpendicular to the second floor portion. Accordingly, an appropriate storage position of any stored bottle containers, regardless of its size (a large-sized one, a small-sized one) can be provided.

  • Patent number: 6838538
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a hydrogenated modified polymer which can afford a molded body excellent in improvement in the balance among the impact resistance, the strength, the adherability and as the appearance, and a process for producing the same as well as a composition containing the same. Another objective is to provide a composition which can afford a molded body excellent in the balance among the flame retardancy, the tensile strength, the tensile extension, the heat resistance, the characteristic at low temperature, the insulation property, the pliability and the like. The hydrogenated modified polymer of the invention is a hydrogenated polymer of a modified conjugated diene-based polymer obtained by reacting an alkoxysilane compound to a polymer which is polymerized a conjugated diene or a conjugated diene and another monomer using an organic alkali metal compound as a polymerization initiator in an inert organic solvent such as cyclohexane and the like.

  • Patent number: 6576691
    Abstract: A flame resistant polymer composition comprising: (A) 100 parts by weight of a mixture which comprises 1-99 wt % of (a-1) an olefin polymer and 1-99 wt % of (a-2) a hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer in which 80% or more of double bonds of the conjugated diene are saturated or (a-3) a random copolymer of ethylene and &agr;-olefin having 3-10 carbon atoms, or both (a-2) and (a-3); and (B) 5 parts by weight or more of an inorganic flame retardant. The composition has excellent flame resistance, is free from production of toxic gas and environmental pollutant substances, and exhibits superior well-balanced characteristics such as molding processability, tensile strength, pliability (anti-whitening on bending), flexing resistance, and flexibility. The composition is useful as an electric wire coating material for interconnect wiring in equipment or harnesses for vehicles, and as industrial materials for insulating tapes.
