  • Publication number: 20140196554
    Abstract: Provided is a gear device capable of resolving inconveniences such as abnormal wear that arises due to the relative misalignment between the internal gear pins and the external gear, and inhibiting an increase in the number of components. This gear device has an outer cylinder, internal gear pins, and a carrier. A plurality of pin grooves extending in the axial direction of the outer cylinder are formed on the inner peripheral face of the outer cylinder, and the internal gear pins are fitted in the pin grooves. The pin grooves are formed so that the length of the pin grooves becomes longer than the length of the internal gear pins. The carrier has a pair of pressing members which includes a pressing surface. The pressing surface is configured to regulate movement of the internal gear pins and an oscillating gear which includes external teeth in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 8665382
    Abstract: A pivoting device especially useful in aircraft passenger cabins that can pivot a monitor between stowed and open positions, the pivoting device including a forward/reverse rotatable driving motor. An electromagnetic brake holds the monitor in stowed and opened positions A power unit powers the motor and the electromagnetic brake. A controller controls the pivoting movement of the monitor. The power unit includes a rectifier circuit that transforms AC to a DC, a step-up circuit that steps up the transformed voltage, a voltage regulator that adjusts the transformed voltage to a prescribed DC voltage, and a retraction power retention circuit including a capacitor. When no source voltage is detected while the monitor is in its opened state, the capacitor supplies the power to a voltage regulator of the power circuit, deactivates the electromagnetic brake and reverse rotates the motor to drive the monitor to its stowed position.

  • Patent number: 8582543
    Abstract: A wireless communication device is quickly connectable to an access point of a destination service area without wasting power when the wireless communication device moves from a service area to a different one. When a state change detector of the wireless communication device detects that the received radio field intensity of the radio wave from the connected access point lowers to a threshold or less, a service area information acquirer acquires information on the service area where the wireless communication device is present and information on a neighboring service area. A profile information acquirer acquires profile information corresponding to the service area information. A priority order setter sets the order of priority to the acquired profile information in such a way that the access point of a neighboring service area neighboring to the service area formed by the connected access point is precedingly connected.
