  • Patent number: 10591125
    Abstract: There is provided a lighting device capable of forming a line beam having a sufficiently long length in an irradiation direction. A distance between a light source end close to irradiation surface and irradiation surface is greater than a distance between lens center and irradiation surface by using light source in which a plurality of light emitters is arranged in a straight line and lens of which an emission surface having a constant curvature is corrected by an odd function. Accordingly, a shape of light source is formed on irradiation surface, and thus, it is possible to form line beam having the sufficiently long length in the irradiation direction.

  • Patent number: 8443772
    Abstract: A drive rotation member is driven by a crankshaft of the engine, and a driven rotation member is rotatable relative to the drive rotation member and secured to a cam shaft of the engine. An electric motor is arranged to rotate together with the drive rotation member and produces a dynamic power when fed with an electric current through brushes. A hollow control shaft is rotatable relative to the drive rotation member and forces the driven rotation member to rotate relative to the drive rotation member when rotated by the power of the electric motor. A bearing device is arranged between the driven rotation member and the hollow control shaft for smoothing a relative rotation therebetween. The bearing device includes a plurality of rollers. A lubrication oil feeding structure is provided for causing the rollers of the bearing device to be submerged in a lubrication oil at least when the engine is in operation.

  • Patent number: 7999190
    Abstract: Provided are: a light emitting module which has an improved heat-dissipating property and whose reflectance reduction is prevented. The light emitting module mainly includes: a metal substrate; a conductive pattern formed on the upper surface of the metal substrate; and a light emitting element disposed on the upper surface of the metal substrate and electrically connected to the conductive pattern. Furthermore, in the light emitting module, an insulating layer is removed in a region where the conductive pattern is not formed, but is left unremoved in a region right below (or covered with) the conductive pattern. In other words, in the region where the conductive pattern is not formed, the upper surface of the metal substrate is not covered with the conductive pattern, and a metal material constituting the metal substrate is exposed.

  • Patent number: 7686516
    Abstract: An encoder 12 a characteristic of which is changed alternately at an equal interval in a circumferential direction is supported/fixed onto a hub 4 concentrically with the hub 4. A sensing portion of a sensor 13 supported on the outer ring 3 is positioned in close vicinity to a sensed surface of the encoder 12 to face thereto. Width dimensions of first and second sensed portions provided onto the sensed surface are changed continuously in a direction along which a to-be-sensed load is applied. Since a pattern according to which an output signal of the sensor 13 is changed is changed pursuant to a change of the load, the load is derived by observing this pattern. The output signal is also utilized to sense a rotation speed of the hub 4 in ABS or TCS control.

  • Patent number: 7557569
    Abstract: There are provided first and second characteristic change portions 9 and 10 having characteristic boundary inclination directions different from each other in an inner half portion and an outer half portion of the encoder 4. Detections portions of one pair of sensors 6a1 (6b1, 6c1) and 6a2 (6b2, 6c2) are opposed to three circumferential positions of both the characteristic change portions 9 and 10. A operator has a function of calculating the displacements x, y, z, and inclinations ?x, ?z, on the basis of phase differences among output signals of the sensors 6a1, 6a2, 6b1, 6b2, 6c1, and 6c2.

  • Patent number: 7501811
    Abstract: An encoder 12 changing a characteristic thereof alternately and at equal intervals with respect to circumferential direction is supported by and fixed to the hub 4 concentrically. A detecting portion of a sensor 13 supported by the outer ring 3 is closely opposed to a detected face of the encoder 12. Width dimensions of first, second detecting portions provided at the detected face are changed continuously with respect to direction of operating a load to be detected. In accordance with a change of the load, a pattern of changing an output signal of the sensor 13 is changed. Thus, the load is calculated by observing the pattern. By performing filtering process on a signal expressing the change in the pattern, a variation based on the mounting error or the like is removed.
