  • Vehicle running range switching device
    Patent number: 7146871
    Abstract: A range switching device is provided that is capable of selecting a running range accurately using a simple configuration and control. The range switching device includes a conversion mechanism which, in turn, includes a ball screw shaft, a ball nut, and other members. The ball nut is connected to a spool through an arm member, a range control shaft, and a detent lever. The spool is moved into a specified selection region among a plurality of selection regions by the conversion mechanism and the arm member. Then, the spool is more precisely moved to a selection position within the specified selection region by the detent mechanism and positioned and held thereat.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 16, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 12, 2006
    Assignee: Aisin A W Co., Ltd
    Inventors: Kazuhisa Ozaki, Takeshi Inuzuka, Chihiro Hosono, Kazuhisa Murase, Michimasa Tanaka

  • Process for producing adsorbent and cleaning filter
    Patent number: 6663814
    Abstract: An adsorbent block that has a high adsorption efficiency and can be produced at a low cost is provided. A paste comprising water having mainly active carbon powder dispersed therein is prepared, and a molded block is formed with the paste. Water is removed from the molded block to bind mainly the active carbon powder, so as to obtain an adsorbent block formed to have cells. The paste contains an agar component that is capable of shrinking the molded block and of increasing the surface area of the cell by disappearance.
