  • Patent number: 9604284
    Abstract: A portable drilling machine wherein when a shorting failure occurs in a circuit part connected to a driving motor, this state is reliably detected and a false start of the motor is reliably prevented. A diving motor control circuit in the portable drilling machine includes a main control section; a triac and a relay which are connected to power supply terminals in series with the driving motor; peripheral circuits (a triac control circuit, a relay control circuit, a triac inspection and determination section, a bypass resistor, etc.) which are related to the triac and relay; and a current measurement section for measuring current flowing in the driving motor.

  • Publication number: 20130186592
    Abstract: A device for detecting a temperature of a cooling liquid includes a cooling section having a cooling liquid flowing therein, a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of the cooling liquid, and a bracket, which supports the temperature sensor, is braze-bonded to the cooling section, and transfers heat of the cooling liquid to the temperature sensor. The bracket has formed therein a slit that communicates between the outside and a bonding surface bonded to the cooling section. With this configuration, deterioration of heat conductivity due to the braze-bonding can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 7421189
    Abstract: An original coded stream reproduced from a magnetic tape is decoded by an MPEG decoder, and original video data of a base band is thus generated. A switching circuit generates edited video data by switching the original video data and supplied insertion video data on the base band level at IN-point and OUT-point. The MPEG encoder generates an edited coded stream by coding the edited video data supplied from the switching circuit. A system controller controls a recording circuit to record a picture changed by editing processing, from among the edited coded stream, onto the magnetic tape.

  • Patent number: 7138986
    Abstract: A touch-type input apparatus which is used for operating equipment such as electric home appliances, is durable and well-designed, and prevents malfunction is disclosed. The touch-type input apparatus includes a translucent touch operation panel, touch detection means, light detection means, a light reception unit, and input determination means. The touch detection means detects a touch on the touch operation panel. The light detection means includes a light emission unit and a light reception unit. The light emission unit is provided on the rear surface side of the touch operation panel and transmits a unique light signal through the touch operation panel. The light reception unit detects a reflected unique light signal which is transmitted from the light emission unit and is reflected on a front surface side of the touch operation panel. The input determination means determines the intended input operation based on detection signals supplied from the touch detection means and the light detection means.
