  • Patent number: 9209471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fuel cell assembly and method of manufacturing same, and a bonding part manufacturing method and device. For instance, in a resin frame, a depression part is subsidence formed from a lower-end face toward an upper-end face, and a housing hole is pass-through formed from a top surface of the depression part toward the upper-end face. For instance, the depression part, a cathode-side electrode and an electrolyte film are housed, and in such a circumstance, an anode-side electrode is housed in the housing hole. A portion of the resin frame permeates a gas diffusion layer which configures the anode-side electrode and is a porous body. Via the permeated site, the resin frame and the gas diffusion layer (anode-side electrode) are integrally bonded.

  • Patent number: 8510021
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a determiner configured to determine whether or not a driver has performed a predetermined acceleration or deceleration operation; a detector configured to detect a value of at least one of a relative rotational position and relative rotational speed of an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft being positioned upstream of an engagement portion of driving power transmission members which are engaged with each other with a slack on a driving power transmission path, and the output shaft being positioned downstream of the engagement portion, and a controller configured to execute control for accelerating or decelerating the input shaft or the output shaft to reduce at least one of a contact speed and transmission torque of the driving power transmission members based on the value detected by the detector, if the determiner determines that the driver has performed the acceleration or deceleration operation.

  • Patent number: 8138707
    Abstract: Provided is a bipedal walking robot which includes a linear actuator, which connects a crus link and a foot of each leg away from an ankle joint, for driving the foot to rock around the ankle joint with respect to the crus link according to a telescopic motion thereof. The robot is capable of applying a desired moment to the foot for walking on stairs without increasing the linear actuator in size. The linear actuator is disposed in such a way that a telescopic force therefrom acts on a line inclined backward with respect to a connection line connecting a knee joint and the ankle joint. Preferably, a connection portion, which is connected to the crus link, of the linear actuator is disposed backward than from the connection line, and a connection portion, which is connected to the foot, of the linear actuator is disposed forward from the connection line.

  • Patent number: 7769523
    Abstract: A method of estimating an air-intake amount of an internal combustion engine is provided. The method may comprise detecting a fluid energy amount in an interior of an air-intake passage at first and second points in time while an intake valve is closed from a compression stroke to an exhaust stroke, and calculating a predicted air-intake amount using the values of the fluid energy amounts at the first and second points with reference to an air-intake amount calculation map showing a correlation between the values of the fluid energy amounts at the first and second points and the predicted air-intake amount in the intake stroke, the air-intake amount calculation map being pre-created by finding the values of the fluid energy amounts in the air-intake passage at the first and second points and the air-intake amount, for plural running states of the internal combustion engine.
