Publication number: 20150112576Abstract: An estimated fuel consumption quantity corresponding to a fuel injection timing of an engine is reduced or set to zero if failure of the corresponding injector has been detected. A pump control apparatus controls a fuel supply pump to maintain the pressure in a common rail at a target value by control of a command delivery quantity supplied from the pump to the common rail in correspondence with each injection timing. Each command delivery quantity is determined based on a necessary delivery quantity and on a feedback quantity, which is derived from a difference between previously obtained values of command delivery quantity and of a corresponding actual delivery quantity from the pump. Prior to the injection, a pressure compensation quantity is calculated, as a fuel quantity required to bring the fuel rail pressure to the target pressure value, and is added to the fuel consumption quantity to obtain the necessary delivery quantity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2014Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventor: Kazumasa WATANABE

Patent number: 7128811Abstract: A belt for a papermaking machine has minute projections and recesses randomly formed in a shoe-contacting surface of the belt by a powdery material contained in a high molecular weight elastic section formed on a base body. The surface roughness RZ of the shoe-contacting surface is between 50 and 500 microns; the particle diameter of the powdery material is between 5 and 500 microns; and the content of the powdery material in the high molecular weight elastic section is between 5 and 50 percent by weight. A lubricant is held in the minute projections and recesses, and consequently more lubricant may be supplied between the belt and the shoe with which it cooperates. As a result, friction between the belt and the shoe is reduced, and less energy is required to drive the papermaking machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Ichikawa Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazumasa Watanabe

Patent number: 6936139Abstract: In a shoe press apparatus of a papermaking machine, a press part comprises a roll which serves as a pressing member and a shoe. A belt is sandwiched between the roll and the shoe. A lubricant feeder supplies a lubricant from the outside of the shoe at the upstream side of the shoe. A lubricant holding section, comprising a plurality of grooves is provided on the upstream end of the shoe. Lubricant supplied from the lubricant feeder is held in the lubricant holding section of the shoe, and is more reliably supplied to the press part as the belt runs through the press part. The Structure of the lubricant holding section is comparatively simple, and the lubricant holding section decreases friction, thereby saving energy.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2003Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Ichikawa Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazumasa Watanabe

Patent number: 6858291Abstract: To address the conflict between structural strength and flexibility in a conventional elastic belt for a papermaking calender, and to reduce manufacturing time, a belt in which the paper sheet-facing side of a base body side is covered by a high molecular weight elastic layer, is characterized in that the high molecular weight elastic layer is composed of a dense, first high molecular weight elastic layer and a second, high molecular weight elastic layer having a multitude of small voids of almost the same size. Flexibility of the layer having small voids is achieved while the dense surface layer is adapted to the ruggedness of the paper sheet.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Assignee: Ichikawa Co., Ltd.Inventors: Norio Sakuma, Yasuhiro Tsutsumi, Kazumasa Watanabe

Patent number: 6780287Abstract: A relatively low-cost calendering belt having excellent heat resistance and durability comprises a central portion 30, and left and right side portions 20 located at the sides of the central portion. The right and left portions 20 comprise high molecular weight elastic material having greater heat resistance than that of the central portion 30. The central portion 30 is composed of high-molecular elastic material, the durability of which is higher than that of the right and left portions 20. The heat of the calender roll CR is intercepted by a paper W, and consequently is not transmitted to the central portion 30 of the calender belt. The right and left portions 20 of the calender belt, which are not protected by paper W do not deteriorate readily as a result of the heat of the calender roll CR because of their heat resisting property.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2002Date of Patent: August 24, 2004Assignee: Ichikawa Co., Ltd.Inventors: Norio Sakuma, Yasuhiro Tsutsumi, Kazumasa Watanabe

Patent number: 6736939Abstract: In a shoe press belt, in which the nip zone is narrower than the shoe width, the shearing force which normally acts on the belt at the outer boundary of the nip zone is made either weak or non-existent by forming the outer portions of the belt of less hardness than the inner, or central, portion of the belt, so that the less hard portions can be positioned directly opposite the outer boundaries of the nip zone. Alternatively, the outer portions of the belt can be made thinner than the central portion of the belt and the thinner portions positioned directly opposite to the nip zone boundaries. The shearing force applied to the belt at the nip ends of the roll is reduced or eliminated, cracking resulting from the shear force is reduced or avoided, and a belt having improved durability results.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Ichikawa Co., Ltd.Inventor: Kazumasa Watanabe
