  • Publication number: 20170108076
    Abstract: A fluid type power transmission device in which a torque transmission path for transmitting torque from a vehicular engine is provided with a dynamic damper mechanism formed by disposing a plurality of damper springs between an inertial rotating body and a rotation-transmitting member forming part of the torque transmission path. An elastic member always linked to one of the rotation-transmitting member and the inertial rotating body is added to the dynamic damper mechanism. Play occurs in a torque direction between the elastic member and the other of the rotation-transmitting member and the inertial rotating body at a time of low speed rotation, but the elastic member exhibits resilient force between the rotation-transmitting member and the inertial rotating body in response to deformation due to centrifugal force at a time of high speed rotation that is a predetermined rotational speed or greater.

  • Patent number: 9509706
    Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a service execution infrastructure for providing a service to client computers via a network manages baselines of monitoring values of components per load of the service provided by the infrastructure, and uses the baselines depending on a current service load. When detecting an abnormality of a service monitoring value or component monitoring value by use of the baselines, the monitoring system compares events up to predetermined minutes ago from now with events in the baseline time zone thereby to specify a differential event (or non-normal recent event).

  • Patent number: 9453985
    Abstract: A mirror driving device includes a lead screw configured to be driven by a drive source, a mirror member configured to be movable between a mirror-down position and a mirror-up position, a mirror driving member configured to rectilinearly move to drive the mirror member between the mirror-down position and the mirror-up position, and a restriction unit configured to switch between a restriction state that restricts a rectilinear movement of the mirror driving member and a restriction release state that releases the restriction state. The restriction unit switches between the restriction state and the restriction release state without allowing the mirror driving member to rectilinearly move when the mirror member is in the mirror-up position or the mirror-down position, and the mirror driving member rectilinearly moves in conjunction with driving of the lead screw after the restriction unit switches from the restriction state to the restriction release state.
