  • Publication number: 20230167628
    Abstract: To achieve improvement of operability and reduction of energy loss, when controlling so that an upper limit pressure of a discharge line becomes a pressure corresponding to an manipulation tool manipulation amount by controlling an increase or decrease of a bypass amount, in a hydraulic control circuit equipped with a bypass valve for controlling a bypass amount flowing from a hydraulic pump to an oil tank. By using a bypass valve control map representing a relationship between a manipulation tool manipulation amount and a spool stroke, the spool stroke of a bypass valve is controlled, and an upper limit pressure of the discharge line is set so that an opening area of the bypass valve is fully closed by a manipulation amount which is larger than a manipulation tool manipulation amount at which the maximum pressure of the discharge line is reached.

  • Patent number: 10877345
    Abstract: A light control film to be bonded to a panel member for a vehicle includes film substrates, conductive layers, and a liquid crystal layer. The conductive layers are on surfaces of the film substrates opposed to each other, respectively. The liquid crystal layer is sandwiched between conductive layers. The light control film is switchable between a first state with a first haze percentage and a second state with a second haze percentage that is lower than the first haze percentage. Each film substrate includes at least an acrylic imide layer made of acrylic imide. Each conductive layer includes a thin silver film or a copper wire mesh.
