  • Patent number: 11953084
    Abstract: A drive device protection structure has a rotary electric machine, a gearbox connected the rotary electric machine, an undercover disposed underneath the drive device and a protecting plate provided to the undercover. The rotary electric machine has a rotary electric machine housing that has a rotary electric machine flange. The gearbox has a gearbox housing that has a gearbox flange. The rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange are connected together. The rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange are formed such that a lower surface of the gearbox flange is positioned lower than a lower surface of the rotary electric machine flange. The protecting plate is formed of a material more rigid than a material of the undercover. The protecting plate is provided beneath connecting part between the rotary electric machine flange and the gearbox flange so as to face the connecting part.

  • Patent number: 9029275
    Abstract: Provided is a nanofiber sheet that sufficiently refined by fibrillation and has high crystallinity of cellulose fiber and can realize a fiber-reinforced composite material exhibiting high transparency, a high elastic modulus, a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and high heat resistance and being high in flatness and smoothness. This nanofiber sheet includes crystalline cellulose as the main component and a lignin in an amount of from 10 ppm to 10 wt %. When a fiber/resin composite material obtained by impregnating the nanofiber sheet with tricyclodecane dimethacrylate, subjecting the impregnated product to UV-curing at 20 J/cm2, and heating the cured product in vacuum at 160° C. for two hours includes 60 wt % of the cured tricyclodecane dimethacrylate and 40 wt % of nanofiber, the following physical characteristics (i) to (iii) are satisfied: (i) the parallel light transmittance of light of a wavelength of 600 nm at a sheet thickness of 100 ?m is 70% or more; (ii) the Young's modulus is 5.

  • Patent number: 8331350
    Abstract: To provide An IP telephone auto configuration system capable of conducting setting and change work of IP telephones connected to a LAN efficiently and accurately. The IP telephone auto configuration system includes IP phones, a DHCP server for assigning IP addresses to the IP phones, an FTP server for storing setting data of the IP phones, and a network for connecting the IP phones, the DHCP server and the FTP server. Each of the IP phones acquires an address of the FTP server and a file name of setting data from the DHCP server after being started, acquires setting data from the FTP server and automatically conducts detailed setting in the IP phone.

  • Publication number: 20070263639
    Abstract: An IP telephone, a main apparatus, and a PC are connected to a network. The PC is installed with a PC application for remote-controlling the IP telephone. The IP telephone has a port for communication with the PC application via the network. The PC recognizes the IP telephone as a remote-controlled IP telephone via the network by the use of the PC application, produces a remote control instructing command (log information collection instructing command or upgrade instructing command) for the IP telephone by the use of the PC application, and transmitting the remote control instructing command to the network, thereby remote-controlling (instructing log information collection or upgrading) the IP telephone not through the main apparatus.
