  • Publication number: 20160156274
    Abstract: A full-bridge circuit has serial first arms and serial second arms. Another full-bridge circuit has serial third arms and serial fourth arms. Primary and secondary coils of a transformer are included, respectively, in a part connecting a middle point of the first arms and a middle point of the second arms and a part connecting a middle point of the third arms and a middle point of the fourth arms. A switching phase difference between the first arms and the third arms and a switching phase difference between the second arms and the fourth arms are adjusted, and transmission power between these full-bridge circuits is controlled. Connections of respective electrodes of a power source are inversely connected to respective polarity buses of the other full-bridge circuit. A phase of switching in one of the third and fourth arms other one having a short-circuit failure is inverted.

  • Patent number: 8299410
    Abstract: A fan motor is mounted on the upper wall of the casing. The lower surface of this upper wall is formed into an inclined surface in which inclination is formed from the front wall side of the casing toward a back wall across from the front wall. When the fan motor is driven, oil mist or moisture contained in the air are condensed into water droplets or oil droplets. These water droplets or oil droplets fall and flow to the inner wall surface of the upper wall of the casing along the inner peripheral wall of a vent hole. Then the water droplets or oil droplets flow along the profile line of a vent hole smoothly (without stopping) and roll down the side wall of the casing.

  • Patent number: 8215060
    Abstract: A window regulator includes a carrier. The carrier includes a holding section and is capable slide along a guide rail with the holding section slidably contacting on the guide rail. The carrier supports a window panel. A brake mechanism is provided on the carrier. The brake mechanism prevents the window panel (the carrier) from self-weight drop by slidably contacting onto the guide rail by an urging force thereof. According to the window regulator, good down operations of the window panel can be maintained even if a slidably contacting portion(s) of the holding section that holds the guide rail becomes worn.
